Children’s Sermon, Bible Lesson, and Activities Based on John 10:27

Are you searching for a creative Bible-based children’s sermon that helps kids understand how to follow God’s voice? At sermons4children.com, we’ve created a powerful and engaging lesson titled Moses in the Wilderness: Follow God’s Voice—perfect for children’s church, Sunday school, and homeschool Bible classes. Based on John 10:27, this sermon shows kids how to listen to God and trust Him even when life feels confusing or challenging.

In this post, we’ll walk you through how this lesson helps kids grow in faith, and how it brings together the story of Moses with real-life application, crafts, and games.

✝️ Bible Verse of the Week: John 10:27

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.”
— John 10:27 (NIV)

This verse reminds children that just like sheep follow their shepherd, we are called to follow Jesus by listening to His voice—something Moses had to learn to do as well.

🌵 Why Teach the Story of Moses in the Wilderness?

The story of Moses in the wilderness is packed with lessons about trust, obedience, and God’s provision. During their long journey through the desert, the Israelites faced hunger, doubt, and fear. But through it all, God led Moses and His people, sending manna from heaven and quail to eat.

By teaching this story, children discover that even when life feels dry or uncertain, God is still leading us, and we must learn to follow His voice.

🎯 What Kids Will Learn:

• How to listen to and follow God’s voice
• That God provides for His people—just like He did with manna and quail
• How obedience brings blessing, even when the path is unclear
• That Jesus knows each of us personally and calls us to follow Him
• How to apply faith in their daily lives

📦 What’s Included in the Sermon Package?

This isn’t just a sermon—it’s a full Bible lesson packed with tools to keep kids engaged and inspired:

✅ A powerful object lesson using a GPS and blindfold to illustrate trust and guidance
✅ A modern-day parable that relates to real decisions kids face
✅ 10 interactive Q&A review questions
✅ 2 ice-breaker games and 4 indoor Bible-themed games
✅ 2 craft activities that reinforce the lesson
✅ A clear, heartfelt closing message and prayer

🌟 Object Lesson Highlight: God’s Positioning System (GPS)

Kids love visual demonstrations, and this object lesson will stick with them! One child wears a blindfold and tries to find their way across the room. Another child gives instructions—just like a GPS.

The catch? The room is full of other kids making noise. The lesson: If we don’t listen carefully to God’s voice, we can get lost. But if we follow Him, He’ll guide us every step of the way.

This hands-on example mirrors how Moses had to listen to God in the wilderness—and how we must do the same.

📖 Real-Life Story Connection

In the sermon, we include a true-to-life story about a kid named Josh who has to choose between following his friends or doing what he knows is right. Just like Moses had to follow God and not give in to pressure, Josh learns that listening to God brings peace—even when it’s hard.

This modern-day parable helps children connect ancient Bible truth to their lives today.
