Are you called to share God’s message? What is the journey like for people who write and share sermons? This term, the 4A students worked hard to answer those questions for themselves.
In our Bible and Language Arts classes, we worked through a six-step sermon creation process (informed by resources including “The Art of Teaching” and the “Wycliffe Bible Storytelling Course” and our collective years of watching great sermons).
The students learned how to move from exploring scripture to writing and preaching an original, thoughtful, Bible-based message.
Along the way, students practiced skills for deeply studying God’s Word, identifying biblical truths, making personal connections, speaking with courage, and trusting that God can use young voices to encourage others.
The goal was never to create miniature pastors—but certainly the future of church leadership is looking bright and can be seen here!
Rather, the goal was to help students discover that God’s truth is not only something they receive—it is also something they can faithfully share…now! (And, of course, greater reading, writing, and speaking skills have been developed along the way!)
While our students may still be children, they are already disciples, and disciples are called to tell others about what God has done.
As Jesus commanded, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
– Mark 16:15
Sermons Examples…
Below you’ll see the process we used, examples of student work, and the remarkable sermons that emerged when young people were invited to take God’s Word seriously and speak about it with faith, wisdom, and joy.
