Summary of this sermon...
The Trinity is like a boom box with three players in one: God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Bible says there is only one God (1 Corinthians 8:6), yet Jesus and the Father are one (John 10:30), and the Holy Spirit is a comforter and teacher sent by the Father (John 14:16). We praise and worship our one God in three persons.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus weeps with His children, comforting them in times of sorrow. The story of Lazarus' resurrection (John 11:1-45) shows Jesus' love and power over death. Like David, we have tears, and Jesus sees and feels our pain. Through His tears and resurrection power, Jesus reminds us that one day we'll be in heaven with Him, where there will be no more tears.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus deserves our best, just like Mary gave Him her most precious perfume. She washed His feet with it, showing her love and devotion. Jesus wants us to give Him our life, not material possessions. He gave His life for us, and we can respond by serving Him with our best. (John 12:3)
Summary of this sermon...
I Love a Parade! Today we celebrate Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. Imagine a parade honoring a hero, just like the people of Jerusalem waved palm branches and shouted "Hosanna!" as Jesus rode in on a donkey. John 12:12-13 reminds us of this special day that marked the beginning of a week that would see Jesus' sacrifice and ultimate celebration.
Summary of this sermon...
When troubles come, we can choose to glorify God's name like Jesus did. In John 12:27-29, Jesus prayed, "Father, glorify your name!" instead of asking to be saved. Troubles come so God's name can be glorified. Let's face troubles with courage and faith, asking God to help us glorify His name. This lesson encourages kids to trust God in hard times and respond like Jesus, seeking to glorify God's name.
Summary of this sermon...
Building a model life means following Jesus' example, with God providing a picture through Jesus, instructions through the Bible, and prayer as the glue that holds it together. We thank God for these gifts, just as Paul encouraged others to follow his example as he followed Christ's. John 13:15 and 1 Corinthians 11:1 remind us to follow Jesus' example and live a life that honors Him.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus loves all children, regardless of their differences. The story of "Dum-dums" flavors illustrates how some are often left out or rejected because they're different. Jesus commands us to love one another as He loves us, just as He loves all children. We should remember to include and love everyone, just like Jesus does. John 13:34-35 reminds us to love one another, and by doing so, we show we are His disciples.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus is the Way: Finding direction in life can be challenging, but Jesus provides the answer. He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). Unlike feelings or popularity, following Jesus ensures we're on the right path to heaven. Let's ask God to help us follow Jesus daily, knowing He is the only way.
Summary of this sermon...
Showing love through actions is what truly matters. On Mother's Day, we express love to our moms, but we can also show love by helping, obeying, and serving. Jesus wants us to demonstrate our love for Him by obeying His commands and loving one another. As Scripture says, "If you love me, you will obey what I command" (John 14:15) and "Anyone who does not love his brother, cannot love God" (1 John 4:20).
Summary of this sermon...
The Holy Spirit is our power source, just like batteries power a music player. Jesus promised his disciples they would do greater things than he did, and the Holy Spirit gave them the power to do so on Pentecost. We, as children of God, have the same power within us to do great things, not in our own strength, but through the Holy Spirit. (John 14:12, Acts 2:4)
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus promises the Holy Spirit as a helper and comforter in John 14:15-21.

Jesus will return to take us home to heaven, just like Andrew's father returned for him after preparing a new home.

We can talk to Jesus daily in prayer, thanking him for his promise and looking forward to joining him in heaven. John 14:26,28.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus is the vine, and we are the branches; apart from Him, we can do nothing. A withered branch, like the one found in the yard, cannot grow or produce fruit without being connected to the tree. Similarly, our lives will wither and die without Jesus. Remaining in Him allows us to grow, producing beautiful leaves and delicious fruit. John 15:5 reminds us to stay connected to Jesus, the source of life and fruitfulness.
Summary of this sermon...
The Holy Spirit is our guide, leading us in the way God wants us to go. Just like a magnet guides a metal car, the Holy Spirit guides us when we believe in Jesus and stay close to God. Through the Holy Spirit, we can feel God's power in our lives, guiding us to make good choices and show love to others. (John 16:12-13)
Summary of this sermon...
God provides us with a map, the Bible, and a guide, the Holy Spirit, to navigate life's journey. The Bible shows us the way, while the Holy Spirit helps us understand and guides us in the right direction. Just as a compass points north, the Holy Spirit points us to truth, as Jesus promised in John 16:13a.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus prayed for his disciples to remain separate from the world, just like the colored water and oil remain separate in a mixed bottle. As Christians, we are called to live in the world but not become part of it, adding God's love to the world without being stained by it. John 17:16,18 reminds us that we are sent into the world to share God's love, remaining faithful to Jesus' call to be separate from the world.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus prays for his followers to be one, just as he is one with the Father.

Through unity, the world may know God's love. John 17:20-23 emphasizes Jesus' prayer for complete unity among believers.
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus is the true King, born to care for His people, unlike Simba's selfish idea of kingship. Jesus' kingdom is in heaven, and He came to earth to make a way for us to live with Him eternally. We can crown Him as our King today, honoring and obeying Him. John 18:33-37 reminds us of Jesus' kingship, and we're invited to enjoy eternal life in His heavenly kingdom.
Summary of this sermon...
Mary Magdalene and the disciples searched for Jesus at the tomb, but He wasn't there. Jesus appeared to Mary, and she recognized Him when He called her name. Jesus is risen and seated at the right hand of His Father in heaven. To see Jesus, look in His Word, and He will reveal Himself to you. John 20:18 (NIV).
Summary of this sermon...
Jesus has risen from the grave, believe it or not! Like Thomas, we may doubt, but Jesus' resurrection is true. Thomas needed to see Jesus to believe, but Jesus blesses those who believe without seeing. We accept Jesus by faith, just like Thomas eventually did. Remember, Jesus' resurrection is true, whether we believe it or not. (John 20:24-25)
Summary of this sermon...
On the Sunday after Jesus' crucifixion, Mary found His empty tomb, and Peter and John reacted differently to the news. Peter was curious, Mary was sad, and John believed Jesus had risen as He said. Today, people still react differently to Jesus' story. This lesson teaches children about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, encouraging them to see and believe in His promise. (John 20:2)
Summary of this sermon...
Thomas doubted Jesus' resurrection, demanding proof of identity. Jesus appeared, showing Thomas his nail-scarred hands and side, and Thomas believed. Many still doubt Jesus' resurrection, seeking proof. But Jesus said, "Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed" (John 20:24-25). Will you accept Jesus by faith, without needing proof of identity?
Summary of this sermon...
Seeing Is Believing: We believe in Jesus. Today, we'll explore how sometimes we need to see something to believe it, just like Thomas, who doubted Jesus' resurrection until he saw Him. Jesus appeared to His disciples, showing them His wounds, and Thomas finally believed. We haven't seen Jesus, but we can still believe in Him. John 20:19-31.
Summary of this sermon...
Saying "I love you" is easy, but showing it through actions is harder. Jesus asked Peter three times if he loved him, and each time, Jesus replied, "Feed my sheep." This teaches us that loving Jesus means loving and caring for one another. We can show our love in many ways, like helping others, and it's a language that can be understood by everyone. John 21:17 (NIV)
