Children's Church Sermons for Worship Service offers adult leaders and teachers a complete year's worth of scripts for presenting the truths of the Christian faith to children from four to eight years old. Drawing upon long experience, including more than two decades teaching children in the public schools and nineteen years leading children's worship, author Sunday Burger offers season-specific messages crafted to encourage children to explore their developing faith. Building upon the foundation of research into the ways children in this age group learn, this collection offers lessons field-tested in worship with children. Each week's script highlights a passage from the Scriptures, presents a central Christian truth, suggests a visual aid, outlines a message for an adult to share with children, and ends with an invitation for the children to join the leader in a prayer. Depending upon children's inquisitiveness, the scripts encourage them to explore the message's theme by connecting the visual aid with the Bible's message and by answering questions along the way. If your ministry involves working with children between the ages of four and eight, then this guide can equip you to share the truths of the Christian faith in the main worship service, Sunday school classes, children's church, Bible school, or whenever young children gather. Through these lessons, the Holy Spirit can use encounters with God's Word to prepare children to live by faith, lead the Church, and extend the Kingdom of God.
