Children and Youth Sermon - "The Test" (Luke 7:36-50)

For this children and youth sermon/message you will need two volunteers as you tell a parable that is relatable and similar to the reading - Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman.

Help kids understand God’s forgiveness and grace with this fun, relatable lesson based on Luke 7:36-50.
Using an easy classroom-test analogy and Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the sinful woman, children learn that everyone sins—and that God’s forgiveness is a gift, not something we can earn. Through simple storytelling, object interaction, and discussion, kids discover that humility, gratitude, and love grow from realizing how much we’ve been forgiven.

Perfect for Children’s Church, Chapel, or Sunday Worship, this message connects Jesus’ words to real-life examples kids understand.
