More powerful than death ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 \|
Happy Easter! The season of Lent is over, and it's finally time to celebrate! How wonderful it is to be at the end of our waiting.

Spread the news! ... from CSS Plus \| Gospel \| John 20:1-18 or Luke 24:1-12 \|
Today's Bible reading is taken from the Gospel of John. The word "gospel" means "good news." Let's see if we can find out why the story of Jesus is called good news. See this newspaper? This is how a lot of people hear important news these days. We also get our news from television, the computer, the radio, and magazines, >> More

Spread the news ... from CSS Plus \| Activity \| John 20:1-18 or Luke 24:1-12 \|
Alleluia! He is risen! Sometimes it seems like Lent will never end, but it always does. We have been given the promise of Easter for every Good Friday of our lives. For a group activity, think with the children about how we might spread the news if the actual Easter happened today. What would the newspapers say? What would >> More

Christ is risen! ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 \|
Good morning! Who can tell me what we are celebrating today? (Let them answer.) That's right! Today is Easter, and who can tell me what happened on Easter that makes us happy today?

He has risen! ... from CSS Plus \| Gospel \| Luke 24:1-12 \|
Good morning! HE IS RISEN! (Pause and wait for a reply.) When I say, "He is risen!" ... you say, "He is risen indeed!" Let's do it again ... "He is risen! (Let them respond once or twice.) Okay, now let me ask you this ... "Who is risen?" (Let them answer.) That's right! Jesus is risen, and that's >> More

"He has risen!" ... from CSS Plus \| Activity \| Luke 24:1-12 \|
Teachers or Parents: Amid all the secular symbols of Easter such as bunnies, chicks, and candy, it is essential that we instill in our children a knowledge of the real meaning of Easter. They need to see clearly that the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb is a central doctrine of Christianity. As Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15:14: "If >> More

The last enemy ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 \|
The Apostle Paul says that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. Can you tell me what death is? (Let them answer.) Death is when the life goes out of something that is living. I had a pet that died. The life was gone and only the body was left behind. I was very, very sad. Death is a >> More

Evidence and testimony ... from CSS Plus \| Gospel \| John 20:1-18 \|
Very early on this day, Easter, many years ago the disciple Peter and one of the other disciples -- probably John -- went to the tomb where Jesus had been buried on Good Friday. They got to the tomb and what did they see? (Let them answer.) They saw a sight very much like the one we have before us >> More

Evidence and testimony ... from CSS Plus \| Activity \| John 20:1-18 \|
Teachers or Parents: Today's children's sermon uses legal language. If there are enough people willing to participate, play court. Let Peter and John testify on the evidence they witnessed and then have Mary provide testimony based on her account of what she saw. Children and adults alike need to know that our Christian faith is not based on >> More

A wretch like me ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| 1 Corinthians 15:1-11 \|
When I think of what Paul says in these verses I think of a wonderful hymn titled "Amazing Grace." Do any of you know it? How does that first verse go? ... In that verse it talks about how God's grace saved a "wretch like me." A "wretch" is a very, very bad person. I brought this dirty >> More

Jack-in-the-box ... from CSS Plus \| Gospel \| Luke 24:1-11 \|
Good morning. I have here a Jack-in-the-box. How many of you are familiar with one? Raise your hands ... I see. You know what to expect, then, don't you? You will expect the Jack to pop out of the box when I turn the crank. Today that will not (do not emphasize the word "not" as you tell it) happen. >> More

Jack-in-the-box ... from CSS Plus \| Activity \| Luke 24:1-11 \|
Teachers or Parents: Today's children's sermon is an exercise in listening. Children, like most of us, do not listen well. They expect the Jack to pop up and it does not just as the disciples expected Jesus to stay dead and he did not. You can try other little listening games to show how important it is to listen to >> More

In order ... from CSS Plus \| Second \| 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 \|
But each in his order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. (v. 23) Good morning, boys and girls. Happy Easter to everyone! Let's try something.
