Scripture Focus: John 21:1–19, Acts 9:1–19
Theme: Second Chances Through God’s Grace
No one is too broken or too flawed for God to use in incredible ways.
We all mess up—and sometimes those mistakes leave us feeling like failures. But the Bible shows over and over that God can take our biggest failures and transform them into something incredible. This children’s sermon highlights that truth through a fun, relatable illustration about Post-It Notes, a product that began as a “failed” invention but became one of the most successful office supplies of all time.
In Scripture, we see the same pattern in the lives of Peter and Paul. Peter denied knowing Jesus three times, but Jesus restored him with love and gave him an important mission: “Feed my sheep.” Paul persecuted Christians, yet Jesus met him on the road to Damascus, changed his heart, and turned him into one of the greatest missionaries who ever lived.
God did not discard these imperfect people—He redeemed them, repurposed them, and used them powerfully. The message for kids (and adults!) is simple: God’s grace can turn your failures into something beautiful. Give yourself the same grace God gives you.
Key Takeaway: Everyone fails, but God never gives up on us. He can transform our mistakes into new beginnings and use us for amazing things.
Perfect For: Children’s sermons, Youth devotion, family devotion time, Sunday School lessons, and messages about forgiveness, grace, and second chances
