The Good People over at Spill the Beans have put out a free Summer Sermon Series (Seven Weeks) called, “The Genius of Jesus,” which be found here: Spill the Beans.
I have put together a video that walks through the seven weeks, and gives a springboard for ideas to help with your children sermons. I hope you find these ideas helpful! It is kind of a rough and bumpy ride, but I do believe there are some gems to be found!
And while the intent was to be used as part of the Narrative Lectionary Cycle, I do believe that anyone wanting to do a sermon series would find this resource from Spill the Beans useful.

Greetings!
In October of last year, I self-published a book.
This is a little aside from the Dollar Store Children Sermons page. However, I am proud of this work, and wanted to let you know about it.
Last year, during the Fall, I compiled poems I had been writing about various subjects. I put them into sections, “Faith, Love and Hope.”
You can take a look at the book here: Fall Into Life
Through this link, you can order a physical copy of the book, or if you would like a PDF copy, I have that option available. You can get a copy directly from me, through using the donation page. I am asking a suggested price of 5 dollars for the PDF.
Thank you!
John
P.S. For those who have been following the Haiku (#HaikuLent2015 and #HaikuEaster2015) writing during Lent and Easter, I will be compiling those into a book soon.
