Theme: Understanding God’s Grace Toward All People—Not Just “Us.”
Us and Them! explores one of the most relatable struggles in faith—the tendency to divide people into “good guys” and “bad guys,” insiders and outsiders. From sports rivalries to school cliques, politics to everyday disagreements, we naturally draw lines between our side and their side.
This children’s sermon walks kids through this idea using real-life examples before connecting it to the story of Jonah and the people of Nineveh. Jonah wanted justice for them, but God showed mercy, compassion, and grace—even to people Jonah believed didn’t deserve it.
Key Takeaway: God’s love and grace are for everyone—both “us” and “them.” And God calls us to share His forgiveness with all people, not just those like us.
