Object Lessons for a Year (Object Lesson Series): 52 Talks for the Children's Sermon Time

Meaningful Lessons. Timeless Truths.

Each lesson in this new release commands the attention of children while at the same time communicating a significant truth of Christian faith. All are pretested, having been used effectively in both television and worship service settings. These messages reflect the author's awareness that "children need to know that they are very special and that they possess unique God-given qualities." In writing these object lessons, David Claassen was motivated by the example of Jesus, who used objects such as birds, rocks, bread, lost coins, and water to communicate his message. Though simple and direct, these lessons do not underestimate the imagination and comprehension of children. Adults will also benefit from the clever analogies. Jesus did not limit his "object lessons" to children and every pastor knows that no adults ever fall asleep during the children's message!
