1. Not of this world!
Where is your eternal home?

2. Not of this world!
• Good morning children.
• I want to read to you
something that Jesus
said.
• Jesus said that as
Christians we are “not
of this world.”
• Heaven is our true
home.

3. Not of this world!
• Jesus said that we are
“not of this world” in
the same way that he is
“not of this world.”
• Isn’t that interesting?
• As Christians and
followers of Jesus our
true home is heaven
and this world is just a
place we are visiting.

4. Not of this world!
• Imagine someone
brought a little duck to
church.
• How do you think this
little duck will feel?
• What do you think
would happen if you let
him loose in the
church?

5. Not of this world!
• It would be difficult
because this church is
not the duck’s real
home.
• I’m sure he would sit
here dreaming about
his true family and
friends at home in the
duck pond.

6. Not of this world!
• Jesus said that as
Christians and followers
of Jesus our true home
is heaven and that we
are only visitors in this
world.
• Because heaven is our
true home we might
sometimes feel like this
little duck here this
morning.

7. Not of this world!
• Sometimes other people will
make fun of us because we
follow Jesus.
• Sometimes others just won’t
understand what being a
Christian is all about.
• Sometimes we will feel like
this world is not our home.
• But that’s ok.
• Our real home is with God in
heaven.
• Even here on earth we are
members of the Kingdom of
God.

8. Not of this world!
• One day we will be with
God in heaven but in
the meantime there is
so much for us to do
here.
• Jesus sends us into this
strange world to show
his love, his power and
his life to the many
people who are lost and
don’t know him.

9. Children’s Prayer
• Dear God.
• Thank you that we have a wonderful home
with you in heaven.
• While we are here on earth help us to share
the love of Jesus in word and example.
