Christian Humor to Brighten Your Day—Because Laughter is a Blessing

They say laughter is good for the soul—and the Bible agrees. Proverbs 17:22 tells us, “A cheerful heart is good medicine.” And while faith is serious business, that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy a little lighthearted fun now and then.

So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, relax, and enjoy these wholesome, church-friendly jokes that are guaranteed to make you smile.

1. The Forgetful Preacher
A pastor was preaching a sermon about loving your enemies. At the end, he asked, “How many of you have forgiven your enemies?” Almost everyone raised their hand—except one sweet lady in the back.
“Mrs. Jones, you mean you haven’t forgiven your enemies?” the pastor asked.
“Oh, I don’t have any enemies,” she replied with a smile.
“That’s wonderful! How old are you?”
“Ninety-three,” she said.
“And how have you managed that?”
She shrugged. “Easy. I just outlived them all!”

2. The Sunday School Answer
A Sunday school teacher asked her class, “What’s small, brown, and has a bushy tail?”
Little Johnny thought for a moment and said, “Well, it sure sounds like a squirrel… but since we’re in church, I’ll say ‘Jesus.’”

3. The Honest Prayer
A little boy prayed before bed: “Dear God, please make me a good boy… but if You can’t, don’t worry—I’m having a lot of fun the way things are.”

4. Bible Diet Advice
A woman once told her friend, “I’ve found the perfect diet in the Bible.”
Her friend asked, “Really? Where?”
She grinned and said, “Proverbs 13:25—‘The righteous eat to their heart’s content.’ So clearly, I’m just being righteous!”

5. The Pastor’s New Horse
A pastor bought a horse and decided to train it differently. Instead of “giddy up,” he would say, “Praise the Lord.” Instead of “whoa,” he’d say, “Amen.”
One day, the horse got spooked and ran toward a cliff. The pastor panicked—“Whoa! Stop!”—but nothing happened.
Finally, he shouted, “Amen!” The horse stopped just in time.
Relieved, the pastor wiped his brow and said, “Praise the Lord!”

Final Thought
Life has its share of challenges, but joy is one of God’s sweetest gifts. So keep smiling, keep sharing, and remember—sometimes the best sermon is a good laugh shared among friends.
