Giving the “children’s sermon” can be intimidating, even for experienced pastors or Sunday School teachers. But finding good object talks for kids has never been easier. Here are a few places to find the right Bible lesson for your next ministry moment. As always, use discernment. Our website has a growing collection of children’s sermons. You can read and print off a growing number from our site.
Salvation Object Lesson: Here is a simple way to teach children about what happens when Christ saves us. All you need is one hard boiled egg and a marker. Kids will discover that Jesus removes our sin and takes away our hard heart toward God.
Children’s Sermons in a Sack: This is a fun variation of the tradition kids sermon. These kids messages in a sack are creative, interactive ways of sharing Bible lessons, scripture passages, or characteristics of God. It’s an object lesson, utilizing an object of the child’s choosing.
Freedom in Christ: This children’s message would be great for patriotic holidays like the 4th of July. It can be used anytime you want to remind kids about the freedom they can only experience by knowing Jesus Christ. It’s based on John 8:31-37. These notes are long, so you can actually teach this over several weeks.

He Sat Down! – A simple reminder for kids and adults that Jesus finished our salvation and we must trust him rather than our own efforts.

Do you have anything on the Parable of the Great Banquet? I don’t know where to start and what activities to do with the children…
Thanks so much, in advance, for your consideration in this matter!
cannot find your Spanish sermons
We don’t have any Spanish children’s sermons on the website. Sorry.
I just wanted to thank you for all the lessons you ahve sent me. All the children in my church have enjoyed them. Even some of the adults have told me they enjoyed them too. Keep them coming and keep up the good work. God has blessed you.
Thanks,
Brenda
Do you have lesson (s) on the topic of Baptism for children 7-12?
4 children accepted Jesus as Savior last Sunday and want to be baptized ( I have parental consent and joy) and I we are a new ministry and have hot baptized children as yet. I pray you can help.
Thanks do much!

Hi Pastor Pat,
I’m sure you’ve already completed the Baptism lesson by now, but thought I’d post this for anyone interested.
One of our FAVORITE ways to teach children about Baptism is by using a Cucumber object lesson…
Before we accept Christ & are Baptised, we are just a simple Cucumber… but once we are Baptised we become like Pickles
… A Pickle is simply a Cucumber who has been “submersed” and soaked in vineger, and thru this decision and commitment it is forever changed into a Pickle… still a Cucumber, but a CHANGED Cucumber…. just as a Christian who has accepted Christ and chosen to be Baptised, to be changed both internally and externally (thru a visible life change) and making a commitment to follow Christ!
Don’t know if that helps, but as you can see MANY object lessons from the Cucumber / Pickle object lesson can be made to help children understand (and adults too!) the commitment of Baptism!
want to thank you for the lesson plans. i realy love the ministy of children but i didnt know how to go about it. i am feeling so blessed that i now have topic to teach the little ones. may God bless you, keep you, meet the desire of your heart and continue annoiting you to enable you continue with this ministry of children. you are wonderful, God bless.
Do you have any lessons on the Fruit of the Spirit? Thank you.
Praise the Lord!
Wel I m looking forward any such kind of material for children by which they receive the complete knowlege of Bible (Basics)
Serially from Genesis to Revelation……………..
The children in my class had a chance to say what they would like a lesson on, as a reward. I told them I would do what they requested. I didn’t expect them to say, “cowboy story”, but they did. I prayed about this and I would hope it was God that set me on to an old record by Marty Robbins. It’s called, The Master’s Call . It is certainly a song about rebellion and redemption. I can do a story around the song and I think it will be a good lesson for them.

This is very interesting, we need to catch them young by presenting all these stories that can transform their little hearts for Christ. Keep up the good work.

Hi! My name is Karina. I’m from Argentina and I work with kids. They are spanish native speakers but I’m teaching them the Bible (stories) in English. I hope giving them a tool (English) and the word of God for the missionary work. It is a hard work because I work with a lot of visual aids in order to make them understand English language. So pray for these argentinian kids and any suggestion is well received. Thanks.
