Bible Stories For Kids
It’s All in the Delivery!

Bible stories for kids are not lectures.

I personally don’t even like the term “children’s sermons”.
Sermons are one way – talking at you. There is a time and place for that. But, not to kids every week.

Bible stories for children need to be interactive, engaging, captivating and fun.

How can you do that?

• Keep ‘em guessing – vary your delivery method
• Keep ‘em fresh – be creative – DON’T just read it
• Keep ‘em alive – invest energy – pour yourself into it
• Keep ‘em active – ask questions – use your kids as part of the story

Two Key Points

Use the Senses

Keep the image above in mind as you construct your Kids Bible stories.

Use Bible object lessons in your Bible stories for children. Be visual, hands-on, interactive and use SENSE!

Use your Bible
Keep your Bible visible no matter what other forms of media or peripherals you use. Even if you have memorized what you are going to say – carry around your OPEN Bible anyway.

Kids need to see that this isn’t just a story someone made up. This story is from the Bible…God’s Word!

Technology constantly changes. Our methods must also change to stay relevant. One thing that does remain constant is the Bible. No new technology, toys or “progress” will ever replace it.

Our Bible stories for kids come from one source. Kids need to see your Bible!

The Sweet Smell of Success

Remember the woman that anointed Jesus with expensive perfume in John 12? How could you present this Bible story for children?

You could just read the text. uh…yeah that’s true. Or, you could tell the kids about the woman in your own words. Yeah, that’s better.

She broke open a jar of perfume to anoint Jesus. WOW! Pretty exciting, huh?
