Children’s Sermon on Romans 1:18-20 – Why We Believe in God

Use this children’s sermon about Romans 1 to show children that God is the Creator.

 

Scripture: Romans 1

 

Needed: any object with obvious design, a globe or picture of the world (https://www.pexels.com/photo/earth-wallpaper-41953/)

 

Children’s Sermon: Show students your designed object and ask, Who do you think made this?

 

What if I told you no one made it? That it just happened? Would you believe me?

 

You shouldn’t believe me if I told you that because it’s obvious someone made it, isn’t it? (Explain the purposeful design of your object.) So, you can tell someone made this. It’s too carefully designed just to have happened by accident.

 

(Show your globe or picture of the world.) Did you know that some people believe the world just happened? But we know differently, don’t we? Who made the world?

 

God did! In fact, we know there’s a God because we can see what He made. We can look at the world and see that it’s too carefully designed – everything works too well together – for it just to have been an accident. Someone had to have made it, and we believe that Person is God.

 

(Read Romans 1:18-20, quoted here in the NIV.)

 

“The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”

 

These verses tell us that people should believe in God because God has made it obvious that He created the world. He doesn’t show us Himself – He’s invisible – but He shows us what He made, the world.

 

Let’s pray and thank God for the world now.

 

Closing Prayer: Creator God, You made everything. Help us to remember that the world and the whole universe is the work of Your hands. And help other people to believe in You too, that when they see how well You made the world, they will turn to You and know that You are God. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
