Dear Tony,
Your free materials are really a blessing to me and the children.Since I started children ministry in 1995 tomorrow will be my first day to teach children about fathers day. I,m very excited waiting to meet my Bible club children tomorrow. God bless you as you reach thousands of children. Hebrews 6:10

My sister, Ludy shared this one to me and i find it so timely for the children ministry. I mother the youth of our church and at the same time i help the leader of the children ministry in one of her Sunday classes, i will share these lessons to her.
Thank you for sharing.
Let me add one thing, and i hope you wont mind.
Last week, i was struck by the words of Hebrews 2:8 and i quote, ” You put all things under your control” and when He puts all things under His control, He left nothing outside His control.”
This is one great character of the Father that i have proven myself as i have entrusted everything to Him, He controls every situation, difficult as it may seem, even giving back the life of a dying baby.
The Father deserves all the honor and praise through our Lord Jesus Christ who Himself bear all our sicknesses and diseases.

Hello Tony,
I read “A Father’s Day Sermon On the Fifth Commandment”. I’ve been working with children’s nministry for many years. One particular time always stands out for me. I believe it’s because of the impact this activity had on a group of girls who were not getting along. What I did was blow up a picture of Jesus face. I think I used one of Him wearing the crown of thorns. I stapled it to a rather large “cork” bulletin board. I then drew a target/bulls eye on a bigger separate sheet of paper. I stapled it over the face of Jesus. I gave each girl a blank sheet of paper and some markers and asked them to draw a picture of someone who they were mad at or someone who had hurt them because of gossip. Then each girl had the opportunity to staple their picture on the target and shoot darts at it. Some shot at it, some stabbed at it, others weren’t so dramatic. Before I removed the target, we discussed how hurtful gossip is, etc. When I removed the target and they saw the face of Jesus mauled, punctured, and stabbed, I almost had to walk around and pick up jaws that had hit the floor. I then let them tell me to describe what they saw and why they were so shocked/surprised? They were able to tell me that not only were they hurting others and thenmselves, but the One they never thought they were hurting was Jesus. SOme girls cried remorsefully for gossiping, others were apologizing to girls within the group. I has no idea that they were doing this to eachother.
This activity can be used the same with children to parents, or parents to children. What do you think?

Perhaps make it personal and have the one who is giving the children’s sermon hold up a picture of his father at the beginning.
