This document provides resources for a children's sermon about Jesus always leading us through life's obstacles. It includes a scripture reading from John 10:27-28 about Jesus' sheep listening to his voice and following him. The sermon suggests setting up an obstacle course for children to navigate blindfolded while being led by the pastor or assistants, demonstrating how Jesus guides us even when we cannot see. The debrief discussion emphasizes that Jesus will always lead believers through difficulties to heaven in the end.

Bible Text
My sheep listen to my voice; I know
them, and they follow me. I give
them eternal life, and they will
never die, and no one can steal
them out of my hand (John 10:27-
28).

3. Resources
You’ll need three or four
blindfolds and several objects to
set up a small obstacle course.
Ask one or two adult assistants
to help you set up the course.
Alternatively, blindfold everyone
and lead them about the church.

through an obstacle course?”
Let children respond.

3. Obstacle courses are used to
train soldiers to run fast and to
be quick and alert when they’re
on the battlefield. We’ve set up
a little obstacle course here
today.” Describe the course
you’ve set up.
4. “Could I have three or four
volunteers to try my obstacle
course?” Choose three or four
children. Let them begin the
course and then stop them.

5. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. You
have to do this obstacle
course blindfolded. But don’t
worry, I’ll lead you.” Have the
volunteers hold hands. Then
lead them through the
obstacle course. Other
children may call out
directions or encouragement.

Debrief
1. “What would have happened if
the blindfolded volunteers had to
go through the obstacle course
without a leader?” Let children
respond.

9. www. Creative Youth Ideas .com
2. “Without a leader, they might
have stumbled and fallen.
The Bible says Jesus leads us
like a shepherd leads sheep.
Listen.” Read the scripture
text from John 10:27-28.

3. “When we’re following
Jesus, we can’t always see
what’s up ahead.
Sometimes things may
seem difficult and even
unfair, but Jesus will
always lead us, just like I
led our brave volunteers.”

4. “Of course, what happens in
real life is a bit different from
our obstacle course. When
we’re following Jesus, we don’t
reach the end of the obstacle
course until we get to heaven.
Yet, no matter how many
obstacles are in our way, Jesus
will always lead us through.”
