Children's sermon
Object:
A computer printout list
Good morning! I know none of you are old enough to vote, but
when you do get old enough to vote you can only vote if you are
registered. You have to register before the election so they can
check you out and make sure you are eligible. When you are
approved, you are put on a list of voters and when you go in to
vote they have a printout like this (show the printout). They look
you up on this list and if you are on the list, they let you vote.
If your name isn't on this list, you can't vote.
Now, God also has a list. It's called the Book of Life. If
your name is in this Book of Life, you are permitted to enter
heaven. If your name is not on the list, you cannot get into
heaven. Is your name on God's list? Will he let you into heaven?
(Let them answer.)
Well, there is only one thing that determines whether or not
you are on the list. If you believe in Jesus Christ, if you know
that he is your Savior and died on the cross to pay for your sins,
your name is in the book! Do you all believe in him? Do you know
that he is your Savior? (Let them answer.) Okay! That means your
name is in the book! Isn't that great? (Let them answer.)
Dear Jesus: Thank you so much for being our Savior and putting our
names in the Book of Life. Amen.
