A Children’s Sermon on Mark 2:23-3:6

Barley Field (CC by DS Pugh-SA Deed)

Preface for Parents and Pastors

This children’s sermon on Mark 2:23-3:6 is for the 2ⁿᵈ Sunday after Pentecost. This year that’s “Proper 4 (9).” This would have been the Gospel for the 9ᵗʰ Sunday after Epiphany, by that time we were already in Lent. Pity the poor texts of Proper 1(6) , Proper 2(7), and Proper 3(8). They don’t get read in worship at all this year. 

Anyway, it is a rich text, and it packs a big punch. What issue is more memorable in the Gospels than Jesus disputing with the Pharisees about the Sabbath? 

I find that this presents two dangers to avoid: stereotyping the Pharisees, and denigrating the Sabbath. 

First, it is way too easy to be judgy about the Pharisees. It is is kind of a self-righteous thing to do, which ironically means we take on the very problem we condemn the Pharisees for. Plus, we Christians so quickly slip from there into Antisemitism, that misguided, unreflective, ignorant and murderous form of bigotry. 

And Second, we have the Sabbath. Too many Christians seem to think that when Jesus refocused the Sabbath he meant that the Sabbath is not actually important.

That would leave us with Christian lives guided by “The Nine Commandments.” Wise Christians take all ten commands seriously. It’s God’s way and bears witness to a culture that seems to welcome murder, adultery, covetousness, false witness and all the rest. 

But I digress. 

It is a story with two distinct scenes. Telling it to kids I’ve focused on just one of the scenes, drawing a hint of the second in along the way. That makes it a bit shorter than usual, which is probably a good thing anyway!

With no further ado, here’s my children’s sermon on Mark 2:23-3:6.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 2:23-3:6

Good morning, kids! I am so happy to see you. Thanks for coming up for the children’s sermon.

This morning, as we usually do, we are reading a story about Jesus in the worship service. Let me tell you how I picture that story happening.

One Sabbath Morning

Jesus and his friends had been camping out, beyond the edges of town. That’s because every time Jesus went into town, lots and lots of people gathered, asking Jesus to help them, heal them, and teach them. He was happy to help people, but sometimes it was just more peaceful to camp out.

When the sun came up Jesus said to his friends. “Get up everybody! Today is the Sabbath. Let’s walk into town and go to the service at the synagogue.”

(A synagogue is the place Jewish people gather to pray and worship on the Sabbath. It’s kind of like how you and I come to worship in this church on Sunday.)

“Can’t we have breakfast first?” asked Peter. “I’m hungry.”

“Me too!” said John. “My tummy’s rumbling.”

“I don’t think we have any food,” said Andrew. “Not a single loaf of bread.”

“That’s okay,” said Jesus, “we’ll get some along the way.”

In the Barley Fields

On the way to town they passed through a farmer’s fields.

“This field is growing barley,” said Peter. “I love barley!” 

 “Let’s have some for breakfast,” said Jesus. 

“That doesn’t seem right,” said Mary Magdalene. “Won’t the farmer be upset?”

“No, it’s alright,” said Jesus. “In the law of Moses, in the Bible, God says for farmers to leave some grain behind after the harvest. That way the poor people can gather it and have something to eat.”

“Hey!” said Peter. “That’s us!”

“Oh, look,” said Mary. “Most of the field has been harvested but there’s a bit left here at the ends of the rows.”

So they all picked handfuls of grain from what the farmer had left for the poor people. Then they went to the synagogue.

At the Synagogue

As they walked up to the door they found some grumpy looking men blocking their way. 

“You’re in trouble, Jesus,” said one of them, “We saw you doing something against the law! You were picking grain.”

“Oh it’s alright,” said Mary, “Jesus reminded us that the law tells farmers to leave a little grain for the poor people to pick. That’s all we were doing.”

“HAH!” said the grumpy man to Jesus. “This follower of yours admits it! You were harvesting grain! That’s against the law on the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of rest!”

Nathaniel said, “Well you don’t seem too relaxed. Maybe you should try to get some rest, yourself.”

Jesus said to him, “Nathaniel, let me handle this please.” 

Then he said to the grumpy man, “God didn’t give us the Sabbath to make us suffer. When people are hungry, they need food—even on the Sabbath.”

“Wait a minute…” said the grumpy man. 

“Think about it,” said Jesus. “Did God make human beings so they can serve the Sabbath? Does God want people to be hungry and sad on the Sabbath? Or did God give the Sabbath to the human beings as a joyful blessing?”

“Well, I guess the Sabbath is supposed to be a blessing,” said the grumpy man. But he didn’t seem super happy about it.

“Right,” said Jesus. “The Sabbath is God’s gift to humanity. We get to rest from our work, and we have time to sing and pray and learn together. It’s a day to treat people well — to help people, not to harm people.”

The Son of Man

“Well I’ll have to think about that,” said the grumpy man. “But who do you think you are trying to teach me about the Sabbath, anyway?” 

Jesus smiled. “I’m the son of Adam—the true human child the prophets spoke about. That makes me the Lord of the Sabbath.”

Wondering

I wonder why that man was so grumpy about the Sabbath?

I wonder if Jesus’ friends were surprised to find out how God made plans to provide for poor people?

I wonder how you feel about God giving you the gift of a day of rest?

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 2:1-12 — The Healing of the Paralytic

Hole in Synagogue roof from inside — CC James Emery 2.0 Deed

Preface for Parents and Pastors

Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 2:1-12. It was the Gospel lesson assigned for the 7th Sunday after Epiphany. This year, however, Easter came pretty early. By the 7th Sunday after Epiphany we were already in Lent. So I’m filling in for future years. 

(If you’re stopping by the week I’m writing this, Sunday will be the 1st Sunday after Pentecost, aka, Trinity Sunday. You can find my children’s sermon for the assigned text, John 3:1-17, through this link.) 

Mark 2:1-12 tells a story I dearly love: the healing of the paralyzed man whose friends lowered him through the roof to get him to Jesus. It is in all three Synoptic Gospels. I think it’s a shame that only Mark’s version is in the Lectionary, and that many times in “Year B” it does not get read at all. Argh!

There is so much juicy material here that it’s hard to choose. 

It starts with the crazy scene of people crowding Jesus out of his own house, wanting healing. 

Then there is the love and determination (Jesus calls it “faith”) of the paralyzed man’s friends.

But how can I not point out the oddity of Jesus looking at the faith of the four friends, and granting forgiveness to the paralyzed man? Justification by faith by proxy? 

Of course there is Jesus’ tussle with the scribes. They are always a popular stick figure for preachers to blame. 

Then there is Jesus’ odd reasoning — asking whether it is “easier to say’ the man is forgiven or that he should get up and walk. 

I’ll just have to dive into this children’s sermon on Mark 2:1-12 and see where the story takes me.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 2:1-12

Good morning kids! I am so happy to see you. It’s great that you are here in worship this morning. And I’m especially glad that you came up to hear the children’s sermon. 

The story about Jesus we are reading in worship this morning happened soon after he started traveling around, teaching and helping and healing people. 

The people he helped were so grateful, so joyful, so happy for what Jesus had done that they told everyone they knew about him. Soon, more and more people came looking for him. They wanted to learn about the Kingdom of God. And they wanted him to help solve their problems.

A Big Crowd

One day, after helping a whole bunch of people, Jesus went to his home. He lived in a town called Capernaum. 

“Boy am I tired,” said Jesus as he came in the front door.

“Can we come in too?” asked Peter. 

“Of course,” said Jesus, “Make yourself at home. I’m just going to go change my—”

“Knock! Knock! Knock!” Someone was at the door. 

Jesus looked around: Peter, and James, and John were there. Mary and Martha were there. All his disciples were there.

“I wonder who that could be?” he said. 

He opened the door. There were a whole bunch of people outside. 

“Can we come in?” one asked. “We heard you are teaching about the Kingdom of God.” 

Then another spoke up. “And I was hoping you might heal me.”

And another spoke up. “Plus, we heard you are really fun to be around, and you tell good stories.”

“Well, sure,” Jesus said, “come on in.” 

He got them all settled and said, “I’ll be back in a minute. I was just going to—”

“Knock! Knock! Knock!” Someone was at the door again.

“Peter,” Jesus said, “could you answer that? It’s too crowded for me to reach the door.” 

So Peter opened the front door. 

“Jesus!” he called out. “There’s a huge crowd out there. The whole front yard is full of people!” 

One of the people at the door said, “We heard you are teaching about the kingdom of God in there. Could you leave the door open so we can hear?”

“Yeah,” said another, “and maybe you could talk real loud.”

“And maybe later,” another voice said, “could you come outside and heal me?”

A Noise from the Roof

Well. Jesus finally went and changed his clothes. He came back and sat down in his living room and started to teach. He taught his disciples. And he taught all the extra people who came inside to hear. Plus he talked extra loud so the people in the front yard could hear too.

“Let me tell you a story,” Jesus said, “so you’ll know what the Kingdom of God is really like. Once upon a time there was a baker and she—”

But all of a sudden there was a lot of noise coming from the ceiling. “What was that?” asked Jesus.

There was banging. 

There was scraping. 

Then there was the sound of boards being pulled up. 

And then a cloud of dust and dirt came down on Jesus and all the people around him.

They all looked up. Instead of the ceiling they saw blue sky. There was a huge hole in the roof!

Then, through the hole, they saw four heads. 

“What are you doing to my roof?” asked Jesus..

“That looks big enough,” said one of the heads..

The other three nodded. 

One of them said, “Let’s go get him!”

“Get who?” asked Jesus. 

“Back in a minute!” the first one said. And all four heads disappeared.

A Surprise Visitor

Well, all of that was quite surprising. But then something even more surprising happened. 

The hole in the roof went dark all of a sudden, and they all looked up to see why. There was something being lowered through the roof. It was a long rectangle made of wood, with cloth stretched across it, like a bed. There was a rope attached to each corner.

Down, down, down it came.

”Careful fellas!” said one of the men on the roof. “We don’t want him to fall off!”

Jesus said, “Fall off? Who are you talking about?”

But then the stretcher was right down in front of Jesus. There was a man lying on it.

“Well hello!” Jesus said, smiling. It really was kind of a funny situation. “Nice of you to drop by.”

“Sorry!” said the man. “I can’t walk. These guys are friends of mine. They made me do this. It’s kind of embarrassing.”

Then voices came down from the guys on the roof.

“We wanted you to heal him!” said one. 

“But the crowd was too big,” said another. 

“We figured this was the only way,” said a third. “We totally believe you can help our friend.” 

“Yeah, Jesus,” said the first, ”you totally got this.”

Then there was a pause. 

Finally the man on the stretcher said, “Sorry about your roof.”

Jesus said to the guys on the roof, “You four really have a lot of faith. I’m impressed. So you know what I’m going to do? Because you four have so much faith…”

Then he looked at the man on the stretcher. “Because your friends have so much faith I’m going to tell you something very important: All your sins are forgiven. God totally loves you—and he always will.”

Forgiveness?

The man looked a little confused. 

The guys on the roof said “Um, that’s nice, but we were hoping, actually, that you could help him walk.”

Then some of the religious leaders spoke up. “You’re not supposed to forgive sins! That’s God’s job.”

Jesus said, “Okay, I’ll do something you think is hard. Then maybe you’ll know who has the power say sins are forgiven.”

Then he looked at the man on the stretcher. “Get up, my friend. Pick up your stretcher and go.”

And the man who knew he couldn’t walk got up, took his stretcher, and wove through the crowd to the door.

Jesus watched him go. Then he looked up at the four guys who were looking down through the hole. He said “Now about my roof…”

Wondering 

I wonder what Jesus must have been like if so many people wanted to be near him?

I wonder what the man did with his life after Jesus made him able to walk?

I wonder if Jesus looks at our faith when we try to bring help to people we care about?

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:40-45

Preface for Parents and Pastors

Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 1:40-45. It is actually the text assigned in the lectionary for the 6ᵗʰ Sunday after Epiphany. This year Easter came on the early side, so on Epiphany 6 we were already celebrating the Transfiguration. 

As I write, the coming Sunday is Pentecost. Since I’ve already posted children’s sermons on the central text of the day (Acts 2:1-21), and on the Gospel reading of the day (John 15:26-27; 16:4b-15) I’m taking the opportunity to fill in a gap in my work. It’ll be there for you when the 6th Sunday of Epiphany in Year B rolls around.

It is a great little story, and prototypical of Mark’s Gospel in my opinion. It quietly show’s the simplicity, the generous humility, of Jesus’ power. Then it gives us an insight into the real reason behind the “messianic secret”—that’s what scholars call it when Jesus seems to hide his identity as the Messiah.

We Presbyterians tend to apply Jesus’ instruction to tell no one about him as if it were an eternal command. But here we see it was very much a contextual thing: People were so overjoyed at Jesus’ miracle-working power that they could not help spreading the word. So much so that even by the end of chapter 1 everybody wanted a piece of him. The poor Messiah couldn’t get a moment’s peace. 

Anyway, without further ado, here’s my children’s sermon on Mark 1:40-45.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:40-45

Good morning kids! I am so glad to see you this morning. Its great that you are here in worship, and I’m especially thankful that you came up to hear the children’s sermon.

Our story about Jesus this morning comes from the very first chapter of the Gospel of Mark. He has just started traveling around, helping people, and telling them about the Kingdom of God. 

He had already healed some people who were sick in their bodies or in their minds. And the more he healed people, the more people came to him wanting him to heal them. 

Hiding in the Rocks and Bushes

After a long day of helping people and healing people, Jesus went for a walk. 

“Ah…” Jesus said to himself. “It’s so nice to be alone for a few minutes. It’s so peaceful and quiet.”

Just then a voice called out from some rocks and bushes beside the road.

“’Scuse me!” called the voice. “’Scuse me! Is your name Jesus by any chance?” 

“Yes it is,” said Jesus. “How did you know my name?”

“Oh, everybody’s talking about you,” said the voice. “I hear them from wherever I’m hiding. I’ve heard a lot of people say they were going to see you about getting healed.”

“Well, I have been seeing a lot of people.” Jesus said. “Lots of people with lots of problems. But now I’m going for a walk. It was nice to meet you!”

“Please don’t go!” the voice begged. “I was… I was hoping you’d heal me too.” 

Jesus said, “Oh, I didn’t know. Maybe if you came out of the bushes we could talk about it.”

There was silence for a bit. Jesus thought the man had changed his mind and gone away. But then he spoke.

“I can’t come out,” he said.

“Oh, are you stuck or something?” Jesus asked.

Leprosy

The man said, “No, I’m not stuck. I’m not supposed to come out. I have… well… it’s actually kind of embarrassing. I have leprosy. People told me I have to stay hidden.” 

“That sounds so hard!” Jesus said. “Would you come out and talk? It’s okay with me.”

“I don’t know,” said the voice. “When people see me they usually turn away. Little kids scream sometimes. A lot of people say mean things and tell me to go away.”

“I won’t do those things,” said Jesus. “You are welcome to come out and talk with me.”

“But… But….” the man sputtered. “I look pretty bad. Leprosy does awful things, you know. My nose is gone, and one of my ears is gone. I keep my hands covered because some of my fingers are gone…”

The man didn’t say any more, but Jesus could hear him crying.

Finally Jesus said, “It makes me sad that you’ve suffered so much. Come on out, and we can talk.”

Choices

The bushes rustled a bit, and then the man came out. He was dressed in raggedy clothes and looked just the way he said he looked. 

But Jesus loocked him in the eye, and said gently, “Come on. It’s okay.” 

So the man came closer. He knelt down in front of Jesus.

“I’m kind of nervous,” he said. “I haven’t been this close to anybody in a long long time.”

“Well, now you are here,” said Jesus. “I hope it helps you feel less lonely.”

“Yeah,” said the man. “But what I’d really like is for you to heal me. I know you can do it if you choose to.”

“I do choose to,” Jesus said quietly. And he took his hands and gently laid them on the man’s head.

“What are you doing?!?” cried the man. “You aren’t supposed to touch me! I have leprosy!”

Jesus said, “Not any more you don’t. Putting my hands on people is almost always how I heal them.”

And the man looked down. He took off the bandages and his hands were whole again. He touched his face and suddenly looked up, his eyes bright with surprise. His face was whole again.

“You’re right!” he cried. “I’m healed! This is fantastic! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to tell everybody!”

More Choices

Jesus said, “Actually, I’d like you to not do that. I’d like you to keep quiet about being healed. Just do what the law of Moses says: Go to the temple, and show the priest. He will help you make a special offering.”

“But I’m so excited!” said the man. “I want to tell everybody!”

“Well, of course you have choices,” Jesus said. “If you choose to do as I ask, you’ll keep this as our secret.”

So the man headed out, healed at last from his terrible sickness. Pretty soon he saw an old friend. The news burst out of him. “Hey look!” he cried. “Look at me! No more leprosy!”

“How did that happen?” his friend asked. 

“Jesus healed me! He’s amazing!” 

And then he told other people. 

All the people he spoke to told their families and their neighbors.

And of course those people told their families and their neighbors. 

Pretty soon, Jesus couldn’t even go into a town because everyone knew that he could even heal a man with leprosy. Everywhere he went crowds gathered, asking him to help with their problems.

Wondering 

I wonder what it was like to have such a big problem and suddenly find the problem was all gone? 

I wonder why the man told everyone, even though Jesus told him not to? 

I wonder how Jesus felt when the man told everybody what he had done?

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 24:44-53 — The Ascension

Marcantonio Raimondi, The Ascension of Christ into Heaven, after Durer (public domain)

Preface for Parents and Pastors

This children’s sermon on Luke 24:44-53 is for the celebration of the day of Christ’s Ascension. The official day is the Thursday before the seventh Sunday of Easter — that’s 40 days after Easter, when the Gospels date the event. But I ask you, how many congregations have a special service on the actual day of the Ascension? Not many. 

Churches shift those Ascension texts to Sunday if they want the congregation to prayerfully, worshipfully, devote their attention to the biblical story of the risen Christ taking his leave of the disciples and heading off to heaven. I suspect not all really want to. 

Of course we all should. If our churches hold to the ancient creeds, then we probably stand up on many a Sunday, saying that Christ “ascended into heaven.” It is a big enough part of the story of salvation to enter the New Testament accounts, the ancient creeds, and the calendar of our worship. I suspect taking time to ponder it and preach on it would be very useful to lots of people.

The text from Luke’s Gospel is always paired with the similar version of the events, from the same author, in Acts 1:1-11. There are key differences, though, and at some point I’ll write a separate children’s sermon on that text. But for now here’s a children’s sermon on Luke 24:44-53.

A Children’s Sermon on Luke 24:44-53

Good morning kids! I’m so glad to see you. It’s great that you are here in worship today. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon.

You remember that a few weeks ago, we celebrated Easter. On Good Friday Jesus was nailed to a cross and he died. But on Easter Sunday Jesus was alive again. For almost six weeks, Jesus kept stopping by to see his friends. 

But then, on the fortieth day, Jesus said goodbye and went up to heaven. Today’s reading from the Gospel of Luke tells the story of that day. Here’s how I imagine it happening.

Jesus Stops By

It had been forty days — almost six weeks — since Jesus had come back alive again. His friends never knew just when they would see him. One minute he wasn’t there. Then all of a sudden, there he was, right there with them. 

That is what happened on the fortieth day. A bunch of Jesus’ friends were together in a house. 

And then all of a sudden, 

“Hi everybody!” Jesus said. 

Well, that was startling. I mean he hadn’t knocked or anything. He just sort of appeared. Once Jesus’ friends calmed down they said hello, and asked Jesus how he was doing, and how he happened to stop by on this particular day.

Three Gifts

“I’m not going to be around much longer,” Jesus said. “I wanted to be with all of you one last time. Plus I have some surprises for you.”

Nathaniel said, “It was already pretty surprising when you just appeared here without coming through the door. I was kind of scared.”

“Sorry to scare you,” said Jesus. “But I knew you would be glad to see me. The surprises I wanted to bring you are good surprises. They are gifts, actually. Some going away presents. Three of them.”

“Cool!” said Peter. “I love presents! What did you bring me?”

Jesus said, “Peter, these gilts aren’t just for you. They are for all of you — for everyone who belongs to me.”

“Oh, okay,” Peter said, sounding a bit grumpy. “But what are the presents anyway?” 

The First Gift

Jesus said, “You remember before I died and rose again, how I kept telling you that I would get arrested, and people would say mean things about me, and they would finally nail me to a cross and kill me?”

“Yeah,” said Peter, “What was up with that?” 

Thomas said, “You always said it was all written beforehand by the prophets in the Bible, but I never really believed you.”

“I know, Thomas,” said Jesus. “I could tell.”

“I just don’t understand it,” said Mary Magdalene. “Could you explain it again?”

“I will,” said Jesus, “and my gift to you is something more.”

Then he was silent for a second or two, and he looked each one of them in the eye. 

“There,” he said. “Do you feel any different?” 

“Because you looked at us?” said Peter. “Of course not.”

“Actually,” Jesus said, “I just did a very important miracle. I opened your minds so you could understand.”

Then he explained one more time about how so many things in the Bible said that the Messiah was going to suffer, and die, and then rise up alive again.

“Wow!” said Peter, “I get it now!” 

“Wow!” said Mary. “That makes perfect sense!” 

“Wow!” said Thomas. “I really believe you — you were right all along.”

Jesus said, “I’m giving that gift to all of you who belong to me now. I’m also giving it to all the people who will follow me because you tell them about me. And that’s the job I’ve been preparing you for. I want you to tell everybody, everywhere, about what I taught you, and how I died and rose again.”

The Second Gift

Peter said, “Wait a minute! Thats a big job! I don’t think I’m really up to that.”

And all the other disciples said the same thing.

“And that,” said Jesus, “brings me to my second gift to you all. I’m going to send you the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God. The Spirit will be right beside you, right inside you, giving you the strength and courage to do all I’ve prepared you to do.”

“Well I guess that will help,” said Peter. “Are you going to give that gift to us right away, like the other one?”

“No Peter,” said Jesus. “You’ll have to wait here in Jerusalem for a little while more. But the Holy Spirit is coming. For now, though, let’s take a walk. When we get to Bethany I’ll give you my third gift.”

The Third Gift

When they got to Bethany Jesus stopped. They were out in the open on top of a hill.

“Here we are,” Jesus said, “This looks like a good place. Are you ready for my third gift?”

“Yes please!” said Mary. 

“Okay,” said Jesus. “This is a big one. I’m going to give you my blessing! Then I’m going to heaven.”

“Wait a minute!” said Peter. “You mean like when somebody sneezes? A blessing doesn’t sound like much of a present.”

“Actually, Peter,” Jesus said, “My blessing is a really big gift. It means that I think you are absolutely wonderful. It means that my love and approval will go with you everywhere you go. It means I’ll be rooting for you always, and working behind the scenes to make good things happen.”

“That sounds awesome,” Mary said. “Peter, you should try not to be so cranky.”

“Okay,” said Peter. “I’m sorry. I’d love to have your blessing.”

So Jesus lifted up his hands. He smiled at all of his friends. Then he started to speak his words of blessing. They could hear his love and his approval and his commitment to them in his words and his voice.

But then, while Jesus was still speaking, he started to go away. His friends were never quite sure how to describe it. 

Did he go up, up, up, onto the clouds in the sky? 

Did he get smaller and smaller and smaller until they couldn’t see him at all? 

Did he get bigger and bigger until he seemed to be every where and even beyond everywhere? 

All they knew is that he’d somehow gone to where his father was—to heaven.

Wondering 

I wonder what it felt like to suddenly understand what Jesus had been saying for so long?

I wonder what it was like to know that the Holy Spirit was coming, but not yet?

I wonder what it felt like to hear Jesus’ words of blessing?

A Children’s Sermon on John 15:1-8 — The Vine and the Branches

Vineyard, CC by björn hornemann 2.0 Generic

Preface for Parents and Pastors

I’m bringing you this children’s sermon on John 15:1-8 because it is the Gospel assigned for the 5th Sunday after Easter in Year B ol the lectionary. Why this text is assigned in the season of Easter is a bit of a mystery as I noted in my “Monday Meditation” on it a good while back. But in any season of the year, meditating on Jesus as the vine is a lovely thing.

The image of the Vine and the Branches is such a vivid way to communicate the intimate, life-giving relationship that Jesus offers us.

A branch is physically interwoven with its vine, so “abiding” seems the most obvious thing in the world to do. Why would we think we can cut ourselves off from the branch and have any life at all? It makes “independence” seem kind of foolish, and “interdependence” the definition of real freedom.

I had a flash of inspiration to tell this one in a new way. If you use this children’s sermon on John 15:1-8 please let me know if the kids seem to get it.

A Children’s Sermon on John 15:1-8

Good morning kids! I am so glad to see you. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon.

The passage of the Bible about Jesus that we are reading today is actually part of a long speech. He talked to his friends about a whole lot of things in that speech. This is just a small piece of what he said. 

I imagined him saying the same things on another day, in a different place. Here’s how I picture it happening.

Jesus in the Vineyard

One day, Jesus went out to a field. He saw that the field was filled with rows and rows of little fences. All along the fences, the farmer had planted grape vines. The branches of the grapevines grew along the fences. Big bunches of grapes hung from the branches.

“This looks like a good spot!” Jesus said. 

Then he took his shovel, (I forgot to tell you he was carrying a shovel,) and he started digging a hole. His hole was along side one of the fences. Jesus dug the hole about a foot deep. He piled the rich black earth beside the hole. 

Then he took off his sandals and stepped down into the hole.

“Ooh!” said Jesus. “That feels so nice! I love to wiggle my toes in the dirt.” 

Then he bent down and pulled all the dirt back into the hole. His feet were buried.

Jesus’ Friends Stop By

While Jesus was standing there with his feet buried deep in the rich black earth, some of his friends came walking along.

“Jesus!” cried Peter. “What happened?” 

“Did you fall in a hole?” asked Mary. 

“Are you stuck?” asked John. 

“Here,” said Martha, “Let me help you get out of there.” And she started digging up the earth at Jesus’ feet. Martha was always ready to help.

“No I’m not stuck,” said Jesus, “and I don’t need help to get out. I’m here on purpose!” 

“But why?” they all asked at once. 

“That’s crazy,” Peter added. “Just sayin’.” 

A Vine

“No” said Jesus, “I’m playing a game. It’s fun.” 

“What’s the game?” asked Mary. Mary was always ready to play.

Jesus stretched his arms out on the fence and said “Okay, look at me! What am I?” 

“Um…” said Peter, “A guy with dirty feet leaning on a fence?”

“Nope,” said Jesus, “Guess again.”

“Oh!” said Martha. “I know. You’re working on these vines, Are you a farmer? Like the kind that grows grapes? What’s the word for that?”

“A vinedresser,” said Jesus. “But no, I’m not the vinedresser. My father is the Vinedresser. You give up?”

“Yeah,” said John, “tell us.” 

“I’m a Vine!” Jesus said, “Get it?”

“Uh, Jesus,” said Peter, “I get it. But really, these are vines,” and he pointed to all the vines growing in the field, “You’re just a guy with his feet in a hole pretending to be a vine.”

“Okay,” said Jesus, “but pretending is fun. And anyway, there’s a way that I really am a vine, the True Vine. All of these others are just trying to be like me.”

Branches and Sticks

“What are you talking about?” asked Peter. 

“Come on, this sounds fun,” said Mary, “Let’s play.”

“Great” said Jesus, “Take my hand.” 

So Mary took Jesus’ hand.

“Now what are you?” asked Jesus.

“I’m a branch!” said Mary. 

“Ooh!” said John, “I want to be a branch too!” 

So he took Jesus’ other hand.

“Hey,” said Martha, “you’re out of hands. Can’t I be a branch too?“

“Absolutely,” said Jesus. “You are all branches. Put your hand on my shoulder. You too Peter.”

Martha did, but Peter held back. 

“I don’t want to,” Peter said. 

“It’s up to you,” said Jesus, “I wish you would though.”

“No!” said Peter, “I won’t!” I don’t know why, but Peter was kind of cranky that day.

“But like I said,” Jesus added, “my Father is the Vinedresser. He’ll be coming by soon.”

“What will he do?” asked Peter. 

“He tends the branches,” said Jesus. “The ones that are bearing fruit he trims so there’s even more good fruit. And the dry sticks he gathers up for kindling in the fireplace.”

“You mean, if I’m not a branch —” started Peter.

“— Then you’re just a stick,” Jesus finished. “Sorry Peter.”

“Well in that case,” said Peter, “I guess I’ll be a branch too.” And he put his hand on Jesus’ shoulder just like Martha.

Staying Close to the Vine

“That’s great, Peter,” said Jesus. “This will be a lot better. Now you just need to stay close to me — as close as a branch is to its vine.”

“Why is that?” asked John. 

“Think about it,” said Jesus. “What happens when a branch is attached to its vine?”

“I guess… Well, I don’t really know,” he said. 

Jesus asked, “When the rain falls, and soaks into the ground, does a connected branch dry up?”

“Oh!” said Mary. “No! The water in the ground goes into the roots. The water in the roots goes into the vine. And the water in the vine goes into all the branches.” 

“Right!” said Jesus. “And what does a connected branch do with all that water in the summertime?”

Martha plucked a cluster of grapes from one of the grapevines nearby using her free hand. “The vines use the water to make yummy grapes!” she said.

“Right,” said Jesus. “Can I have some?” 

“Sure,” she said, and she gave some grapes to everybody.

Staying Close to Jesus

Jesus said, “So I’m telling you to stay close to me like the branches stay close to their vine. What will happen to you if you stay close to me?”

“Let me think,” said Peter. “Um… we’ll grow grapes?”

“Peter,” said Jesus, “you are very silly. What is it like for you when you are close to me?”

“I feel… happy,” said Martha.

I feel… loved,” said John. 

“I guess I feel more alive,” said Mary. “Like some of what is inside you is inside me too.”

“Ah,” said Jesus. “I think you are all on to something. And when you stay close to me, and I travel around teaching and helping people, what happens to you?”

“I learn stuff,” said John. “I get to do some of the things you are doing.”

“Right,” said Jesus. “That’s better than grapes isn’t it? Now how about helping me get out of this hole.” 

Wondering

I wonder what it was like to hold Jesus’ hand?

I wonder what it feels like to be so connected to Jesus that his life starts to be in us? 

I wonder what you can do to stay close to Jesus?

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 16:1-8

Preface for Parents and Pastors

Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 16:1-8. That’s the Gospel text assigned by the lectionary for Easter Sunday (or the Easter Vigil) in Year B. 

So why am I sending this out just before the third Sunday of Easter? Because I didn’t get it written in time. Between a looming deadline on another writing project (Completed! Whew!), plus family travels, I just couldn’t do it. 

It was a good couple of weeks to not be able to write a new children’s sermon. I had already posted a children’s sermon on the Gospel for the Second Sunday of Easter, John 20:19-31. (You can find it here.) And I already posted a children’s sermon for the Third Sunday of Easter, Luke 24:36-48. (You can find it here.)

So I’m catching up. This one will be here for you next time Year B rolls around, or any other time you want to tell kids about Easter and the Resurrection. 

It’s a great and mysterious text. Mark tells of a group of faithful women who came to the tomb on Sunday to prepare Jesus’ body for proper burial. They meet a stranger who tells them to share the good news that Jesus is risen—but they are so scared they don’t tell anyone. 

It’s kind of a foreshadowing of the Presbyterian approach to evangelism. 

However, it is a simple and understandable telling of the Easter story, with a couple details that make it quite fascinating. So here we go with a children’s sermon on Mark 16:1-8.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 16:1-8

Good morning kids! I’m so glad to see you here in worship this morning. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon. 

Today’s story from the Gospel is about the very first Easter morning.

Early, early on that Sunday morning, before the sun had even come up, some of Jesus’ friends were already busy. One was Mary Magdalene. You might remember the story of when she poured expensive perfume on Jesus one time. One was James’ mom. Her name was also Mary. And the third woman was named Salome. 

Mary, Mary, and Salome were on their way to the place where Jesus’ body had been buried.

“Did you bring your spices?” asked Mary Magdalene. She was kind of the leader.

The other both said “Yes, did you bring yours?”

They had all brought special spices. They were going to prepare Jesus’ body for a proper burial. 

When Jesus died on Friday it was late in the day. There was no time to prepare his body before the Sabbath rest started. So his body was put in a tomb. The preparation for his real burial had to wait till the Sabbath was over.

Going to the Tomb

While they walked, they talked about how sad they were that Jesus had died.

“But you know,” said Mary Magdalene, “I’m glad we get to prepare Jesus for burial. It feels like a way to show that we love him.”

“That’s true,” said Salome, “but I just thought of something. How are we going to get into the tomb?”

“Oh no!” said Mary Magdalene. “You’re right! That stone door is huge! How will we find people to help roll it back?”

Just then they came around a corner and could see the tomb where Jesus’ body had been left. There was a surprise.

“What?” said Salome. 

“Oh my!” said James’ mom, Mary. 

“It’s wide open!” said Mary Magdalene. 

And that was true. Somebody had rolled back the big round stone door, and the tomb was wide open.

Inside the Tomb

So, Mary, Mary, and Salome rushed to the tomb, and looked inside. 

There was another surprise.

The place where Jesus’ body had been was empty!

“What?” said Salome 

“Oh my!” said James’ mom, Mary. 

“He’s gone!” cried Mary Magdalene. 

They looked around to see where Jesus’ body had been moved to, but what they found was another surprise.

A young man in a white robe was sitting there in the tomb.

“What?” said Salome.’

“Oh my!” said James mom, Mary. 

“Who are you?” asked Mary Magdalene. 

The young man didn’t answer Mary’s question. 

Instead he said, “I know why you are here. You’re looking for Jesus. He died on Friday, but now he’s alive again!”

“Alive again?” said Mary Magdalene. “How can he be alive again?”

The young man said “Its just what he told you he would do. You really should believe the stuff he said.”

“But where is he now?” asked Mary Magdalene.

“He went ahead to Galilee,” said the young Man.

“What?” said Salome. 

“Oh my!” said James’ mom, Mary. 

“I want to see him!” said Mary Magdalene. ”What should we do?”

Instructions

“You should go to Galilee,” said the young man “He’s there already. But first go tell all the other disciples.” 

Then he paused and looked Mary Magdalene in the eye. “And be sure to tell Peter too,” he said.

“Why do you say ‘Peter too‘?” she asked. “Peter’s a disciple. If we tell the disciples of course we’ll tell Peter.” 

“The thing is,” said the young man, “Peter feels really bad right now. He doesn’t think he’s a disciple any more.”

“Why is that?” asked Mary Magdalene.

“Because,” said the young man, “the other night when Jesus was in trouble, Peter told everyone that he didn’t even know who Jesus was. Jesus wanted me to tell you to be sure Peter knows he’s supposed to go to Galilee and meet him.”

“Oh,” said Mary Magdalene. “That was really nice of him.”

“Well,” said the young man, “once you belong to Jesus, you belong to him forever—no matter what. But shouldn’t you be going? You need to tell the other disciples?”

“What?” said Salome. 

“Oh my!” said James’ mother Mary. 

“Oh! Right!” said Mary Magdalene. 

And so they headed back home. 

But here’s the funny thing: they were so surprised, so astonished, so frightened by what had happened that they actually forgot to tell anyone.

Wondering

I wonder how the others finally found out that Jesus was alive again?

I wonder how Peter felt when he found out Jesus still cared about him even though he did the wrong thing?

I wonder if you’ve ever been so surprised and frightened about something that you never told anyone about it?

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 11:1-11 — Palm Sunday

Dormition of the Mother of God Church, Filipovo, Palm Sunday Icon (public domain)

Preface for Pastors and Parents

For Palm Sunday in Year B, I bring you a children’s sermon on Mark 11:1-11. That’s one of four options offered to churches in the Revised Common Lectionary, as I detailed in my Monday Meditation on this passage back in 2021.

I always prefer focusing on Palm Sunday, rather than calling it Passion Sunday and reading the whole sweeping account of Holy Week. Better to treat the biblical events of Palm Sunday on Palm Sunday, and hear those of Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday in their own services on these holy days. 

In my opinion this is better even in an era when people’s work and family commitments make it hard for many to get to special services. We really need the opportunity to worshipfully walk with Jesus through these world-changing events.

The trick in a Palm Sunday children’s sermon (or even in a grownups’ sermon) is to focus on the distinctive way the particular Gospel text tells the story. Each of the four is different in subtle but important ways. It’s helpful to see each one clearly rather than blurring them together unconsciously. 

So, without further ado, here’s my children’s sermon on Mark 11:1-11.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 11:1-11

Good morning kids! I’m so glad to see you here in worship today. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon. 

Today is a very special day in the Church year. We are almost at the end of Lent. Lent is the forty days, not counting Sundays, that we spend getting ready for the most important day of the whole Christian year: That day is Easter, and it’s next Sunday. 

In Lent we get ready inside ourselves for the new life that came because Jesus rose up alive on Easter morning. 

This week is the last week of Lent. We call it Holy Week. This week we remember the things that happened the week Jesus died on the cross.

In Bethany

On Sunday morning, Jesus and his disciples were walking down the road. All the disciples were sad. They were on the way to Jerusalem. Jesus had told them that terrible things would happen to him when they got there.

“Hey Jesus!” said Peter “We’re passing right by Bethany. How about we stop and say hi to Mary and Martha and Lazarus.”

“Oh, I’d love to see them,” said Jesus, “but I can’t stop today. While we’re here, though, I want a couple of you to go into the village. I need to borrow a colt.” 

“A colt?” asked Peter.

“Yeah, a colt,” said Jesus. “You know: a young horse.”

“I know what a colt is,” said Peter. “But why do you need one?”

“I want to ride it into Jerusalem,” he said. “It’s going to be super dramatic. Plus, in the Bible the prophet Zechariah said the Messiah would come riding a colt.” 

“Interesting,” said Peter, “but how are we supposed to get you a colt?”

“I’ve got it all planned out,” said Jesus. “I asked a friend of mine to have it ready outside his house. If anybody asks, just tell them ‘The Lord needs it!’ That’s like our secret password.”

So two of the disciples went into Bethany. They found the colt. They untied it. When the owner asked what they were doing, they just said “The Lord needs it!” and the owner let them take it.

The Road to Jerusalem

Bethany is only a couple miles from Jerusalem. Once they were close enough to see the city, Jesus said “It’s time for my big dramatic entrance! Help me get on this colt, okay?”

Peter said “Hey, if you’re coming in as the Messiah, we should make it extra fancy! Let’s put our coats on the colt for you to sit on.”

So, some of them did that. 

Then John said, “I know! You should ride in on a royal carpet! Lets put the rest of our coats down for you to ride on!”

So the rest of them did that. 

People saw what they were doing and came to join the fun. Some took off their coats to add to the carpet. Others ran out to the fields and cut leafy branches from the trees. They laid those down too.

And Jesus rode his colt across that pretend royal carpet. 

The closer they got to the city, the more people came and added coats and branches. They were all having so much fun. 

Whenever someone asked why Jesus was riding a colt over a special carpet of coats and branches, the disciples reminded them that the Prophet Zechariah said the Messiah would come that way.

Pretty soon the people in the crowd started singing all their favorite Messiah songs.

They sang “Hosanna!” 

They sang “Blessed is the one who comes on the name of the Lord!”

They sang “Blessed is the Kingdom of David our ancestor!”

They sang “Blessed is the Kingdom of the Messiah who is coming!”

They sang, and they laughed, all the way to the city.

In Jerusalem.

When they got there, Peter said “So, what do we do now?”

And Jesus said, “Let’s go to the Temple.” 

So they went to the Temple. It was full of people buying and selling animals for Passover. And there were money changers working at their tables. They took foreign money from travelers and gave them local money to spend.

Peter said “They shouldn’t be doing this in the Temple should they? Shouldn’t we do something to stop them?”

But Jesus said “Not today. Let’s go back to Bethany. Maybe we can stay with Mary and Martha and Lazarus.”

Peter was so surprised. “But we just got here! You said it was so important to make a big entrance! How can we just turn around and go back?”

Jesus said, “Today I’ve done what was most important. Now its time to go. Don’t forget to bring the colt! We need to return it to my friend.”

Wondering

I wonder why it was so important to Jesus to leave right away after he entered Jerusalem in that dramatic way?

I wonder what the people thought when they saw him riding a colt over coats and branches?

I wonder what you and I might do to make Jesus feel welcome in our town?

A Children’s Sermon on John 2:13-22 — Lent 3

Cattle Drive (Public Domain)

Preface for Pastors and Parents

For the third Sunday of Lent I bring you a children’s sermon on John 2:13-22. As I noted in my Monday meditation on this text, I think its odd for the lectionary to jump to John for the story of Jesus cleansing the temple. Year B is focused on Mark, and Mark has a perfectly fine version of the story. Mark even places the events in Holy Week, making it a bit more obviously Lenten.

But, as Tennyson might have put it, mine is not to reason why; mine is but to write a children’s sermon on the lectionary gospel. 

But John’s version has interesting details you don’t see in the others. The challenge here, as with many passages of the Gospels, is finding something to focus on that is really kid-friendly, or which would be useful to a kid hearing this story for the first time.

It is not a passage where you say, “Go and do likewise!” I tremble to imagine kids hearing about Jesus braiding himself a whip and driving out the merchants and money changers. Will they go to coffee hour and tip over the tables for the bake sale and the fair trade coffee program? 

I think there is some wiggle room for storytelling if I imagine the conversations that must have taken place between Jesus and the merchants. And it doesn’t say Jesus actually used his homemade whip on anybody. Hmm… Let’s see what transpires in my children’s sermon on John 2:13-22.

A Children’s Sermon on John 2:13-22

Good morning kids! I am so happy to see you. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon. 

Today is the third Sunday of Lent. Lent is the forty days (not counting Sundays) that we spend getting ready for the most important days of the Christian year: Good Friday, when Jesus went to the cross to die, and Easter Sunday when Jesus came alive again to give us new life. 

Our story from the gospel this morning comes from very early in Jesus’ ministry. He got baptized by John, Then he spent forty days in the wilderness. And then he started gathering friends to be with him as he traveled around teaching about the Kingdom of God. Then we get today’s story.

Going to Jerusalem

When it was getting to be springtime, Jesus said to his friends, “Hey it’s almost time for Passover! Let’s go up to Jerusalem!”

Passover is the biggest holiday of the year for the Jews. Lots of people went to Jerusalem at Passover.

Peter said, “But it’s such a long walk to Jerusalem! How about we stay home? You can come to have Passover with my family.”

“Thanks, Peter,” said Jesus, “but I really want to be in Jerusalem. I just love going to the Temple. I think of it as my Father’s house, you know.”

“Oh, okay,” said Peter. “What’s it like being in, um, your father’s house. I’ve never been there.” 

“You haven’t?” asked Jesus. “I’ve been going there since I was a kid. It’s so great. So peaceful. It’s the perfect place to pray. You’ll be amazed how close to God you feel there.”

So Jesus and his friends packed their things and headed to Jerusalem.

Outside the Temple

As Jesus and his friends walked up the stairs to the big front doors of the Temple, Jesus was telling them all about being there as a kid.

“It was so great!” he said. “It was so quiet—perfect for praying and studying.”

“Studying?” asked Peter. 

“Yeah,” said Jesus. “There is a place off to one side where the rabbis come to study the big Bible scrolls. People come to ask them questions, and they study, and talk, and figure out the answers. And the whole place has this great smell! They burn special incense that you can only use in God’s Temple.”

Right about then they were at the doors. 

“Here we are!” said Jesus. “Let’s go in and you’ll see for yourselves.”

So they pulled open the big wooden doors. They stepped inside. It was really noisy.

Surprises Inside

“Um, Jesus?” said Peter. “This doesn’t smell like incense. It smells like cow poop.”

“Yeah,” said Nathaniel. “Definitely cow poop. And sheep. This smells like our barn back home.” 

“What?” said Jesus. “Let me see.” And he sniffed in a big sniff of air. “You’re right,” he said. “What’s up with that?” 

“What did you say?” asked Peter. “I can’t hear you over all this noise.” 

“Yeah,” shouted Thomas. “I can’t believe you said this was a great place to pray. I can’t believe how loud it is. Sounds like a marketplace.”

“What’s going on here?” asked Jesus. And they stepped into the big central courtyard. Jesus looked around. 

“I see why it smells like a barnyard,” he said. “Those guys over there are selling cattle and sheep.” 

Peter said, “It looks like they sell everything people need for the sacrifices and offerings.”

“What’s that jingling sound?” asked Jesus. “Sounds like coins.”

“I think those are money changers,” said Matthew. (He used to be a tax collector, so he knew about money.) “People bring money from their home countries. They have to exchange it for the local money to use it here.”

“Sounds very convenient,” said Jesus, “but its not the way it’s supposed to be. Come with me.” And Jesus led them back out the door. 

Back Outside

“Any of you have rope belts?” Jesus asked. 

Several of them did.

“Can I use them please?” he asked. So Jesus took all their rope belts and he sat down. He started braiding the rope belts together.

“What are you doing?” said Peter. “Are you making something?”

“Two things,” said Jesus. “I’m making a plan. And I’m making a whip.”

“A whip?” asked Peter “Like a cowboy?” 

“Yep,” said Jesus. “Like a cowboy. To drive cattle.”

“This is going to be very interesting,” said Thomas.

When Jesus finished his whip, he led his friends back into the Temple.

The Animal Sellers

Jesus walked up to the people who were selling sheep and cattle. 

“Hi there. My name is Jesus,” he said. “This here’s my Father’s house. I’d like to see your permit to sell animals in here.” 

“I have mine,” said one seller. “It’s right here in my basket.” 

He looked around and pulled out a piece of paper. “There you go. See? It’s all in order.”

“But this isn’t signed by my Father,” said Jesus. “I’m afraid you need my Father’s permission to sell anything here. Looks like you’ll need to pack up and go.” 

“But—,” sputtered the animal sellers. 

“We need this space cleared right away,” said Jesus. “There are people who need to pray here.”

“But—,” they sputtered. 

“I’ll help,” said Jesus, pulling out his whip. “You just pick up your baskets and things and follow me”

“But—,” they sputtered. 

And with that Jesus called out “Hey cows! Hey sheep!” He cracked his whip so it made a sharp bang that startled the animals. 

“This way! Let’s move! Giddy-up!” he said. He cracked his whip again, and guided the animals out the door and down the steps. Their owners were running after them carrying their baskets.

The Money Changers

Then Jesus went back into the temple. He was still wrapping his whip into a little circle when he got to the money changers’ tables.

“Oh no!” they whimpered. “He’s going to whip us!”

“No, of course not,” he said. “But I do need to see your papers. I’m Jesus, and this is my Father’s house. Do you have a permit to run a business in here?” 

Just like before, they showed Jesus their papers.

“Oh dear, oh dear,” said Jesus, “these papers weren’t issued by my Father. Who gave you these?”

“The people who run the place,” said one money changer. “Were we supposed to ask someone else?” 

“Oh yes,” said Jesus. “Definitely. You have to ask my Father. It’s his house, you know. You need his signature.” 

“Um…” said another money changer, “who is your Father?”

“God,” said Jesus. “If you don’t have God’s permission, I’m afraid you’ll have to leave.”

“Well, could you ask him for me?” said that second money changer. “This is a really good business.” 

“Sorry,” Jesus said. “My Father says this is supposed to be a place of prayer. You’ll have to set up your business somewhere else.” 

“Oh come on!” said the first money changer. “There’s no way to get God’s signature on that form. And you can’t make us leave.” 

“I guess we’ll have to do this the hard way,” said Jesus. And he grabbed the edge of the money changer’s table and he tipped it right over. Then he went and did the same thing to all the other tables.

Afterward

Pretty quickly everyone who was selling anything packed up their things and left. 

Jesus looked around with a smile and said, “Ah… It’s a lot quieter here now. Seems like a lot better place to pray.”

“Yeah,” said Peter. “And it smells better too.”

Wondering 

I wonder how it happened that people turned the Temple into a kind of marketplace?

I wonder how the disciples felt seeing Jesus drive out the cattle and turn over the tables?

I wonder if you know of any special places where you can go to be quiet and pray?

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:14-20

Duccio di Buoninsegna: The Calling of the Apostles Peter and Andrew (Public Domain)

Preface for Pastors and Parents

Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 1:14-20. I was too swamped with other things to write the week when this text came up on the lectionary, the 3ʳᵈ Sunday after Epiphany. 

But as I write, I already have children’s sermons posted on my site for the two Gospel readings assigned for this week. So I’m catching up. (Here’s Mark 8:31-38. Here’s Mark 9:2-9.) 

It’s the calling of the first disciples — a familiar story to most Christians. Mark’s version, which is nearly the same as Matthew’s, is the one I tend to remember. The versions in John and Luke are quite different. 

As is usual in Mark, the storytelling is very lean. What’s there is evocative, and memorable, but the details are few. Mark is clearly just giving us the outline. 

Many preach that outline as if it is a complete transcript of events, which gives a startling picture of Jesus’ charisma—rather too startling for credibility, I’d say. He seems to walk up to total strangers, tell them to follow, and they do, abandoning their families and their jobs.

I suspect it was not quite so. Jesus’ relationships with these men start earlier in Luke; much earlier still in John. I think Mark gives a tantalizing hint that there was more conversation left on the cutting room floor. 

What here is really kid-friendly or kid-oriented? Not much, actually. “Following Jesus” is a crucial concept of discipleship, but for today’s readers, who can’t actually see Jesus walking around, it is harder. There’s a lot of metaphor going on: And metaphors are hard for little kids to understand. 

Hmm…. How to approach a children’s sermon on Mark 1:14-20? Let’s just jump in and start retelling the story. We’ll see where it goes.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:14-20 

Good morning kids! I’m so glad to see you this morning. I’m always glad to see you, whenever I see you. But it makes me especially glad to see you in worship on Sunday. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon. 

Today’s story from the Gospel is about when he first started doing all the things he is so famous for. He had just been baptized by John in the Jordan River. Then he went out to the wilderness where he was tempted and tested for forty days. 

And then he came back. 

Jesus went through villages, towns, and cities telling people all about the Kingdom of God. 

At first he went all by himself. But one day he decided to start bringing other people with him. Here’s how I imagine it happening. 

Down by the Seashore

Jesus went walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. He came to a place where there were fishing boats. Some of the boats were pushed out a little from shore, and their owners were trying to catch fish in their nets. Others had finished fishing for the day. Their boats sat at anchor, and the owners were fixing their nets where they had gotten torn.

Jesus was watching two brothers cast their nets out into the water. They weren’t very far from shore, so Jesus called out to them. 

“Hello Simon! Hello Andrew!” he called.

(Jesus was living in Capernaum then, and Simon and Andrew lived nearby in Bethsaida.)

“Well, hello Jesus!” Simon called back. “What are you up to today?”

“I’m working!” said Jesus. “I’m telling people about the Kingdom of God!”

“That doesn’t sound like work to me!” said Simon. “Come on out here and try to pull these nets in. Then you’ll know what working is.” 

Simon liked to joke around. 

Andrew was a bit more serious. 

Andrew called out “So why don’t you tell us about the Kingdom of God?”

Jesus said. “Sure! It’s very good news. The Kingdom of God has come right here, close to you!”

“Why is that such good news?” asked Simon. 

“Well,” said Jesus, “if you ever felt like God didn’t care about you, now you know he does. He loves you so much that he’s come close to you.”

“Okay,” said Simon. “What else?”

“Do you ever feel like the mean people always get their way?” asked Jesus, “or like the poor people seem to never get a break? Well now you know different. God has come to be a fair and generous and loving king. In God’s kingdom, good will be in charge instead of bad.”

How Do You Live in the Kingdom?

Before Simon could say something snarky, Andrew said “That sounds pretty great. It really would be good news if that was true.” 

Jesus said, “It is true. And if you trust my word that it is true, you’ll be doing most of what you need to do to be part of God’s Kingdom.”

“What?” said Simon, “just believe you?”

“Yep,” said Jesus. “Believing the good news, trusting me, is the big first step.”

“What’s the rest of it?” asked Andrew. 

“The rest of it,” said Jesus, “is the rest of your life. You need to learn to think new ways. You need to change your mind, and think God’s way. That takes a lifetime.” 

“Sounds impossible,” said Simon.

“It takes some effort,” said Jesus. “Why don’t you come with me and I’ll teach you all about it.”

“Come with you?” said Andrew, “Like, leave our boat? Our job?”

“Yep,” said Jesus. “At least for now. You can follow me around and I’ll teach you about the Kingdom. In fact I’ll teach you a new job.”

Fishing for People

“What kind of job?” asked Simon, warily. 

“Well,” said Jesus, “What do you do now?” 

“We fish,” said Simon. “We throw out our nets and we catch fish.”

“Follow me,” said Jesus, “and I’ll teach you to fish for people.” And he smiled a twinkly-eyed smile.

“Is that what you say to everyone you ask to come along?” asked Andrew.

“Depends,” said Jesus. “If you were, say, a tax collector I might say ‘Follow me and I’ll teach you how to help people give to God what belongs to God.’ Or if you were a farmer I might say ‘Follow me and I’ll teach you to plant seeds in people’s lives. Those seeds will grow up and bear fruit for God.’”

“Sounds like it always means leaving your job,” grumbled Simon.

“Not always,” said Jesus, “But it’s always about learning new things that help God’sKingdom.”

So Simon and Andrew anchored their boat and came to Jesus on the shore.

“Okay,” said Simon. “Where should we follow you first?”

“Let’s go down the beach a bit,” said Jesus, “I want to talk to James and John.”

Wondering

I wonder how Simon and Andrew felt about leaving their boat behind? 

I wonder what made them willing to follow Jesus that day?

I wonder what Jesus might say to you when he asks you to follow him?

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:9-14

Duccio di Buoninsegna: The Calling of the Apostles Peter and Andrew (Public Domain)

Preface for Pastors and Parents

Here’s a children’s sermon on Mark 1:14-20. I was too swamped with other things to write the week when this text came up on the lectionary, the 3ʳᵈ Sunday after Epiphany. 

But as I write, I already have children’s sermons posted on my site for the two Gospel readings assigned for this week. So I’m catching up. (Here’s Mark 8:31-38. Here’s Mark 9:2-9.) 

It’s the calling of the first disciples — a familiar story to most Christians. Mark’s version, which is nearly the same as Matthew’s, is the one I tend to remember. The versions in John and Luke are quite different. 

As is usual in Mark, the storytelling is very lean. What’s there is evocative, and memorable, but the details are few. Mark is clearly just giving us the outline. 

Many preach that outline as if it is a complete transcript of events, which gives a startling picture of Jesus’ charisma—rather too startling for credibility, I’d say. He seems to walk up to total strangers, tell them to follow, and they do, abandoning their families and their jobs.

I suspect it was not quite so. Jesus’ relationships with these men start earlier in Luke; much earlier still in John. I think Mark gives a tantalizing hint that there was more conversation left on the cutting room floor. 

What here is really kid-friendly or kid-oriented? Not much, actually. “Following Jesus” is a crucial concept of discipleship, but for today’s readers, who can’t actually see Jesus walking around, it is harder. There’s a lot of metaphor going on: And metaphors are hard for little kids to understand. 

Hmm…. How to approach a children’s sermon on Mark 1:14-20? Let’s just jump in and start retelling the story. We’ll see where it goes.

A Children’s Sermon on Mark 1:14-20 

Good morning kids! I’m so glad to see you this morning. I’m always glad to see you, whenever I see you. But it makes me especially glad to see you in worship on Sunday. Thanks for coming up to hear the children’s sermon. 

Today’s story from the Gospel is about when he first started doing all the things he is so famous for. He had just been baptized by John in the Jordan River. Then he went out to the wilderness where he was tempted and tested for forty days. 

And then he came back. 

Jesus went through villages, towns, and cities telling people all about the Kingdom of God. 

At first he went all by himself. But one day he decided to start bringing other people with him. Here’s how I imagine it happening. 

Down by the Seashore

Jesus went walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. He came to a place where there were fishing boats. Some of the boats were pushed out a little from shore, and their owners were trying to catch fish in their nets. Others had finished fishing for the day. Their boats sat at anchor, and the owners were fixing their nets where they had gotten torn.

Jesus was watching two brothers cast their nets out into the water. They weren’t very far from shore, so Jesus called out to them. 

“Hello Simon! Hello Andrew!” he called.

(Jesus was living in Capernaum then, and Simon and Andrew lived nearby in Bethsaida.)

“Well, hello Jesus!” Simon called back. “What are you up to today?”

“I’m working!” said Jesus. “I’m telling people about the Kingdom of God!”

“That doesn’t sound like work to me!” said Simon. “Come on out here and try to pull these nets in. Then you’ll know what working is.” 

Simon liked to joke around. 

Andrew was a bit more serious. 

Andrew called out “So why don’t you tell us about the Kingdom of God?”

Jesus said. “Sure! It’s very good news. The Kingdom of God has come right here, close to you!”

“Why is that such good news?” asked Simon. 

“Well,” said Jesus, “if you ever felt like God didn’t care about you, now you know he does. He loves you so much that he’s come close to you.”

“Okay,” said Simon. “What else?”

“Do you ever feel like the mean people always get their way?” asked Jesus, “or like the poor people seem to never get a break? Well now you know different. God has come to be a fair and generous and loving king. In God’s kingdom, good will be in charge instead of bad.”

How Do You Live in the Kingdom?

Before Simon could say something snarky, Andrew said “That sounds pretty great. It really would be good news if that was true.” 

Jesus said, “It is true. And if you trust my word that it is true, you’ll be doing most of what you need to do to be part of God’s Kingdom.”

“What?” said Simon, “just believe you?”

“Yep,” said Jesus. “Believing the good news, trusting me, is the big first step.”

“What’s the rest of it?” asked Andrew. 

“The rest of it,” said Jesus, “is the rest of your life. You need to learn to think new ways. You need to change your mind, and think God’s way. That takes a lifetime.” 

“Sounds impossible,” said Simon.

“It takes some effort,” said Jesus. “Why don’t you come with me and I’ll teach you all about it.”

“Come with you?” said Andrew, “Like, leave our boat? Our job?”

“Yep,” said Jesus. “At least for now. You can follow me around and I’ll teach you about the Kingdom. In fact I’ll teach you a new job.”

Fishing for People

“What kind of job?” asked Simon, warily. 

“Well,” said Jesus, “What do you do now?” 

“We fish,” said Simon. “We throw out our nets and we catch fish.”

“Follow me,” said Jesus, “and I’ll teach you to fish for people.” And he smiled a twinkly-eyed smile.

“Is that what you say to everyone you ask to come along?” asked Andrew.

“Depends,” said Jesus. “If you were, say, a tax collector I might say ‘Follow me and I’ll teach you how to help people give to God what belongs to God.’ Or if you were a farmer I might say ‘Follow me and I’ll teach you to plant seeds in people’s lives. Those seeds will grow up and bear fruit for God.’”

“Sounds like it always means leaving your job,” grumbled Simon.

“Not always,” said Jesus, “But it’s always about learning new things that help God’sKingdom.”

So Simon and Andrew anchored their boat and came to Jesus on the shore.

“Okay,” said Simon. “Where should we follow you first?”

“Let’s go down the beach a bit,” said Jesus, “I want to talk to James and John.”

Wondering

I wonder how Simon and Andrew felt about leaving their boat behind? 

I wonder what made them willing to follow Jesus that day?

I wonder what Jesus might say to you when he asks you to follow him?
