SERMON NOTES:

Are you jumping for joy in your faith? Or watching carefully and cautiously from the sidelines?

God loves you exactly as He created you and wants that child to receive Him and come to Him as your full authentic self. Don’t dim yourself. Don’t edit yourself to be “ready”.

Children are not to be brushed off regarding important matters such as faith. In fact, Jesus views children as the MODEL of faith and we should become like children in receiving His grace and love.

To speak negatively to or about the character of a child to diminish them in any way is a serious wrong and must be corrected in any and every way. To take away the fullness of that being who was made in God’s image is to not only shrink them, but shrink your perception of God’s love.
