The Mote and the Beam
Matthew 7:3
Children's Sermon
by Wesley T. Runk

Object: Some splinters and a board (enough splinters for each child to have one).

Do some people really bug you? Can you think of one guy or girl who is really a creep? Do you know someone who really thinks he is hot stuff and never lets you forget it? I know some people like that. Then there are the others who are always tattling on everyone. I think they are the worst. They even make things up to get people in trouble. How about the ones who never want to do anything? If you want to play they want to sit, and if you want to sit they want to walk. Some kids are tough, some are pretty, some are mean, some are smart and some are dumb. You are really lucky to have a friend with all of the goofy people there are in the world. Aren't you glad that you're not like the other kids, the goofy one…
