A children's sermon on Sunday's Gospel! -- The Parable of the Yeast
New Children's Sermon! |
Hello my friend! I was traveling this week, so didn't get a chance to write a new children's sermon. However, I wrote one on a portion of this week's Gospel reading three years ago. I take the tiny little parable of the yeast and expand the story in a way my kids enjoyed when they were little. I hope you enjoy it too. You'll see that my approach has evolved a bit as I grow into this kind of writing. I'm getting ready to seek a publisher for a book that closely relates to what I do in these children's sermons. Having a growing list of subscribers is super helpful in that process. If you know someone who might appreciate seeing this children's sermon, would you be willing to forward this email to them and encourage them to subscribe? Thank you always for reading what I write! It means so much to me. Blessings, Gary

New Children's Sermon! Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Game (CC by Laurie Shaull-SA 4.0) Hello my friend! I was traveling to Gettysburgh, Pennsylvania last week, speaking to a seminary student group and doing a retreat day for a clergy group. Alas, as a result I didn't get you a children's sermon. But here we are in a brand new week, and I bring you one on Sunday's Gospel text. Matthew 20:1-16 is a fascinating parable about God's generosity -- which in conflict with our sense that some should get...
New Children's Sermon! Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Game (CC by Laurie Shaull-SA 4.0) Hello my friend! Between vacation and other summer things, I ended up taking the month of August off from blogging. Thanks for your patience! Just in time for Sunday I have a new children's sermon for you. There's a link to the older "Monday Meditation" on the same Gospel passage inside the post. It's Matthew 18:15-20, a classic text that has guided the Church for centuries on matters of church discipline....
