Theme: Running toward faith and believing in the risen Christ.
This sermon connects the excitement of running a race with the events of Easter morning. As Mary, Peter, and John run to the empty tomb for different reasons—fear, confusion, and hope—children learn that faith itself is a journey.
Through a relatable object lesson about racing, this message emphasizes that believing in Jesus matters more than being first. The sermon reminds kids that Easter is not just a one-day celebration, but something we live out every time we gather to worship, serve, and follow Jesus together.
Key Takeaway: The greatest prize isn’t winning a race, it’s believing in Jesus and life everlasting with God in heaven.
