Pastor David preaches from Luke 18:15–17, showing how Jesus welcomes even the smallest children into His kingdom, not because of their worthiness but to reveal the radical grace and dependence required of us all. In a world that either idolizes or discards children, this passage calls us to welcome them and to become like them, utterly dependent, if we are to receive the kingdom of God.
Mark 10:13-16 ESV And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.
James speaks on retaining the simplicity of faith and remembering the importance of children.

Jesus was displeased when children were not permitted to come to Him. This message starts from Mark 10:13-16 to learn from Christ's teaching about the safety of children in God's kingdom and then to recognize Jesus's severe warning against those who lead children astray from Him in Mark 9:42-48. To complete this message, we apply Jesus's teaching about marriage and divorce in Mark 10:1-12.
Send us a textToo often, churches send the unspoken message that children are distractions rather than disciples in the making. But in Mark 10, Jesus makes it clear—children belong in His presence. In this episode, we dive into what it truly means to welcome children in our churches and in our hearts. From personal experiences with resistance to creating spaces of belonging, we'll explore how embracing the voices of children reflects the very heart of God.What if, instead of seeing children as interruptions, we saw them as invitations to encounter Christ? What if we truly lived out Jesus' words: Let the little children come to Me—do not hinder them?Join us as we challenge ourselves to make room, to listen, and to love the way Jesus does.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Enjoy this message?

The Mystery of Belonging: Receiving the Kingdom as a Child The readings today explore the profound mystery . . . . . . behind Jesus' invitation for children to come to Him. We all have heard the story of Jesus holding a child. But do we really understand the meaning behind the mystery? The Essence of Being a Child It emphasizes that the essence of being a child is belonging—to a family, to one another, and ultimately to God. Just as children must be raised, humanity, too, requires guidance and teaching from God. The Homily highlights the familial relationship we share through Christ, as both children of God and of Mary, reinforcing that true freedom comes not from independence but from recognizing our belonging. The call to receive the Kingdom like a child is a call to embrace this belonging fully, a message that extends to families and the entire Church. Listen to this Meditation media.

Read OnlineJesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children who sit in marketplaces and call to one another, ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance, we sang a dirge but you did not mourn.'” Matthew 11:16–17What does Jesus mean when He says “We played the flute for you…” and “we sang a dirge…?” The Church Fathers clearly identify this “flute” and “dirge” as the word of God that has been preached by the prophets of old. So many came before Jesus to prepare the way, but so many failed to listen. John the Baptist was the final and greatest prophet, and he called people to repentance, but few listened. Thus, Jesus points out this sad truth.In our day and age, we have so much more than the prophets of the Old Testament. We have the incredible witness of the saints, the infallible teaching of the Church, the gift of the Sacraments and the life and teaching of the Son of God Himself as recorded in the New Testament. Yet, sadly, so many refuse to listen. So many fail to “dance” and “mourn” in response to the Gospel.We must “dance” in the sense that the gift of Christ Jesus, by His life, death and resurrection should be the cause of our wholehearted rejoicing and eternal adoration. Those who truly know and love the Son of God are filled with joy! Furthermore, we must “mourn” on account of the countless sins in our own lives and in the lives of those all around us. Sin is real and prevalent, and a holy sorrow is the only appropriate response. Salvation is real. Hell is real. And both of these truths demand a total response from us.In your own life, how fully have you allowed the Gospel to affect you? How attentive are you to the voice of God as it has been spoken through the lives of the saints and through our Church? Are you tuned in to the voice of God as He speaks to you in the depths of your conscience in prayer? Are you listening? Responding? Following? And giving your whole life in the service of Christ and His mission? Reflect, today, upon the clear, unmistakable, transforming and life-giving words and presence of the Savior of the world.Reflect upon how attentive you have been in life to all that He has clearly spoken and to His very presence. If you do not find yourself “dancing” for God's glory and “mourning” over the evident sins of your life and within our world, then recommit yourself to a radical following of Christ. In the end, the Truth that God has spoken throughout the ages and His holy and divine presence are all that matter.My glorious Lord Jesus, I acknowledge Your divine presence in my life and in the world all around me. Help me to be more attentive to the countless ways that You speak to me and come to me each and every day. As I discover You and Your holy word, fill me with joy. As I see my sin and the sins of the world, give me true sorrow so that I will work tirelessly to combat my own sin and bring Your love and mercy to those who are most in need. Jesus, I trust in You.

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Have you ever seen the face of a child on Christmas morning? The joy that fills their eyes is absolutely contagious. In Luke 18, we read where Jesus rebukes his disciples and tells them to let the children come to him. Can you imagine the scene? The disciples were probably feeling a bit annoyed by these pesky little children trying to get a peek at Jesus. Peter might have even said something like, "Back away; we've got important things to do." But Jesus says, "Let the children come." At that moment, the disciples had to release all the children so they could push in and get close to Jesus. I'm sure they would have had the same joyous look in their eyes as I see children have on Christmas morning. This Christmas, let's remember the reason why we celebrate and let's also remember to let the children come to Jesus by sharing the most important gift of all with them, the free gift of salvation.

Let the Children Come to HimPastor Scott HedtkeOctober 6, 2024 The post Let the Children Come to Him appeared first on Promise Ministries.
Some parents bring their children to Jesus for a blessing, and this causes kind of a ruckus between Jesus and the disciples. Why is Jesus so intent on those children, and what does he know about them that we as parents need to know?
Jesus blesses the children and invites them to draw near, encouraging us to remove the obstacles that keep our kids from encountering the Lord's love. (Lectionary #418) August 17, 2024 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com
Mark 10:13–31 (Listen) Let the Children Come to Me 13 And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. 15 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” 16 And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them. The Rich Young Man 17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.'” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How difficult it will be for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” 24 And the disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said to them again, “Children, how difficult it is1 to enter the kingdom of God! 25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” 26 And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to him,2 “Then who can be saved?” 27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” 28 Peter began to say to him, “See, we have left everything and followed you.” 29 Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands, for my sake and for the gospel, 30 who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” Footnotes [1] 10:24 Some manuscripts add for those who trust in riches [2] 10:26 Some manuscripts to one another (ESV)
