Mother’s Day Children's Sermons –
Listening Like King David
Use this Mother’s Day children’s sermon to teach kids to show
appreciation for their mothers by being more obedient.
Scripture: Genesis 3:20; Psalm 116;16
Children’s Sermon: Show your pictures of pregnant women and ask, What do all these women
have in common?
They’re all pregnant! They’re all going to
have a baby. And we all need mothers, don’t we? Our mothers carry us in their
womb and give us life.
In fact, that’s why the first man named the
first woman Eve.
(Read Genesis 3:20.)
“Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.”
The name “Eve” means “living.” Adam named his
wife “Eve” because he knew that she would give her children life, just our
mothers gave all of us life.
But not only do our mothers give us life; they also help us all the good things in
life, don’t they? What are some good things that your mothers do for you?
They take care of you and make sure you’re
healthy. They help you have fun. They teach you. They tell you about God.
King David said…
(Read Psalm 116:16b.)
“I serve you just as my mother did…”
He’s saying that his mother was a good example
of what it means to follow God. She probably did a lot to help him know who God
is and how He wants us to live.
Our mothers give us life, and then they keep doing a lot of good things
for us. I wonder what we can do for our mothers to say thank you for all the
good things they do for us. (If mothers are present, ask them to call out
somethings they wish their children would do. Otherwise, help students think of
what their mothers might want them to do.)
One thing I bet every mother wants is for us
to listen to them and not talk back when they tell us something. Our mothers do
so many good things for us that we want
to treat them well by doing what they ask us. We don’t want to make life
difficult for them, right? We love our mothers and want them to be happy. So,
let’s all listen and do what they ask us to as a thank you for all the good
things they do for us.
Closing Prayer: Lord, we thank You for giving us our mothers. We thank You for making
them to give us life and to give us all the good things in life too. Help us to
show our love and appreciation for them by being more obedient to them. In
Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
(If you have gifts for mothers, have the
children take them to them now.)
Mother’s Day Children’s Sermon - How God is Like a Woman
Needed: Nothing
Scripture: Isaiah 66:13; Matthew 23:37
Children’s Sermon: Ask students, Is God a man or a woman?
Actually, God is not a man or a woman. God is a Spirit. The
Bible usually talks about God being like a man, but it also talks about God being
like a woman.
How do you think God might be like a woman?
When you’re upset or sad, does your mom ever hug you and
make you feel better?
Isaiah 66:13 says, “As a mother comforts her child, so will
I comfort you”
You can picture God hugging you and making you feel better
just like a mom does.
If there was some sort of danger, do you think your mom
would try to keep you safe?
In Matthew 23:37, Jesus says, “how often I have longed to
gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.”
When there’s danger, a hen, or a mother chicken, gathers all
her chicks and hides them under her wings to protect them. Jesus says He wants
to do that for us. He wants to pull us close and protect us, just like a mom
would do.
So, when you think about God, think about God as having the
good qualities of a man, but also think about God as having the good qualities
of a woman. God is like a father and a mother.
