Includes: Activity booklet with answer key in color and grayscale. Key Scripture: John 9:1-31 Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind. Isaiah 6:9–10 is also referenced to reinforce the theme of spiritual sight.
Theme: Spiritual sight vs. physical sight — understanding God’s work with the heart, not just the eyes.
This children’s sermon uses a hands-on object lesson and the story of Jesus healing the man born blind to explore the difference between seeing with our eyes and understanding with our hearts.
Through simple language and gentle humor, children learn that it’s possible to look at something and still miss what God is doing. The message helps kids understand why the Pharisees struggled to believe, while encouraging them to keep their hearts, eyes, and ears open to God’s work in their lives.
This sermon is interactive, relatable, and ideal for helping children grasp deeper spiritual truths in an age-appropriate way.
Key Takeaway:Seeing isn’t just about what we look at—it’s about what we understand. When we listen to Jesus and keep our hearts open, God helps us move from spiritual blindness to true understanding.
