{"product_id":"9780788017803","title":"Childrens Sermons A To Z","description":"Anyone who has done children's sermons will sooner or later hear from someone that \"I learn more from the children's sermon than I do from the real sermon.\" And indeed, the truths of scripture are so simple that even a child can understand them. So it's no accident that children's sermons have become a central part of the worship service in many churches.\u003cp\u003eBrett Blair and Tim Carpenter offer a year's worth of object lessons that engage children and impart profound lessons for all ages. Two sermons are provided for each Sunday in Cycle C of the Revised Common Lectionary, one based on the Second Lesson and one based on the Gospel. The messages are structured in two parts: the \"lesson\" uses an object to draw out active responses from children, then the \"application\" connects that object to the assigned scripture reading. Each message includes a clear statement of its exegetical aim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBright, innovative, perceptive, creative, grace-filled Brett Blair and Tim Carpenter are all of those and much, much more, and that is reflected beautifully in their new book Children's Sermons A To Z.\u003cbr\u003eJames W.
