Like a Seed (an object lesson using a packet of seeds)

Jesus said that if we had faith as great as a mustard seed -- and that's a tiny seed -- God could use us in a wonderful way. This children's sermon invites kids to thank god for what he is doing in their lives as he grows them up to serve him in special and exciting ways.

Sin: How Sin Began

My fellow sinners, I want to tell you a story. In front of us there are two men. They seem so far away because layers and layers of time and tradition intervene.
