All God’s Children Have Shoes (an object lesson using a shoe)

Take Your Temperature (an object lesson using a thermometer)

In the same way grown-ups sometimes take a child's temperature to check up and find out just how sick she might be, as we read God's Word every day, we get a regular "check up." This children's sermon talks about how God's Word and Spirit help us take our spiritual temperature.
