Sermon for kids on the love of Jesus 
Ephesians 3:18 βHow wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ?β
Childrenβs sermon idea: Ask the children if they know how big the love of Jesus might be. Show various measuring devices (Start with a small ruler, a small measuring tape and then extend a large surveyors tape measure) Read out a paraphrase of Ephesians 3:18. Explain how the love that Christ has for us is so great itβs impossible to measure. We need to ask for Godβs supernatural power to help us understand how great and wonderful his love is.
Object lesson items needed: Ruler, tape measure, etc.
Full kidβs sermon: Good morning children! One of this morningβs bible readings, from Paulβs letter to the Ephesians, is about the wonderful love of Jesus Christ. I want you to think about this question: How big is the love that Jesus has for us? β For you and me? (Let the children respond. Then hold up a ruler). Do you know what this is? Yes. Itβs a ruler. We use it to measure things. If I could measure the love of Christ how big would it be? Maybe it is so big that we would have to use a tape measure like this one. (Extend the tape as wide as your hands can go) Do you think Christβs love for us is this big? No, itβs even bigger than that. Extend the tape out all the way. Is it this big? No, itβs even bigger still. (If you have one extend a surveyors tape the whole length of the church). Is the love that Jesus has for us this big? No, itβs even bigger! The love of Jesus is so big and wonderful that itβs almost impossible to measure and fully understand. In our bible reading today the apostle Paul said that he needed to pray for supernatural wisdom, from the Holy Spirit, in order to understand this amazing love. I believe itβs important for us as well to try to understand how big this love is. So letβs pray:
Childrenβs Prayer: Dear God, we know that itβs impossible to measure your love with a ruler or tape measure. Give us special (supernatural) wisdom through your Holy Spirit to try to understand your great love that you have for us. In Jesusβ name β Amen!
