Two weeks ago at CFBC, we discussed what it meant to have faith as a child! It's clearly discussed throughout the gospels. This is very important as we approach the Christmas season!
There is a difference between child-like faith and immature faith, and today we dive into another parable of Jesus to examine those differences. When Jesus said that a child was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven, he was actually giving us a blueprint of what our faith should look like.
Jesus loves kids! He wants children to know Him personally. Children trust Him completely. Jesus wants us adults to trust Him completely as well. In fact, He said that we cannot enter into His Kingdom unless we have the faith of a child. Our everyday lives should be marked by child-like faith.
In this episode, I share some thoughts on a child's faith. What does childlike faith mean? To me, it means full of wonder, simple, and teachable;I can only speak for myself and my personal experience; however, through the years, I have had many opportunities to interact with little children, observe, and learn that faith, like a child, is pure, uncomplicated, and unwavering. Children naturally trust and believe in the world around them. They are innocent, open, having a sense of wonder. They are free from judgment, skepticism, or suspicion. They have complete trust and confidence in something greater than themselves. from the scriptures, I learn repeatedly to remember to be like a little child, such as: "…submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." Mosiah 3:19Jesus reminds us to embrace childlike faith, emphasizing its importance in the spiritual journey. In Matthew 18:3-4, Jesus says, "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." I have learned so much from children, and I want to share a few valuable reminders from the Savior's teachings and other traits of a child. I found them helpful to me in continuing my faith journey.1. Being Submissive means being gentle, willing to follow guidance, and accepting direction without resistance.2. Humble means humility, allowing me to recognize my limitations and rely on God. 3. Being a Meek means to remain calm, gentle, quiet, and composed, especially during challenging situations.4. Trusting means believing in God, in His goodness, but also the goodness and honesty of others. It means embracing uncertainty with the assurance that things will work out.5. To Forgive means letting go of anger or resentment toward others and being willing to mend relationships by giving grace and moving forward. Forgiveness brings freedom from the burdens of resentment and bitterness.6. Being full of Love means expressing affection and warmth freely and unconditionally, creating a loving and nurturing atmosphere. Children easily express love and affection, and they accept love and affection so freely. Be willing to be open-minded to new possibilities, see the good, and believe in positive outcomes. Avoid doubts and skepticism.Embrace Wonder as children do by looking at the world around us with awe. Find joy in the simple things and appreciate the beauty in everyday life.Live in the present, embracing every moment. Focus on the present rather than being consumed by past regrets or future anxieties.In closing, I share a song titled "Noc Czerwcowa" (The Night of June)“Great is the human who has not lost his childlike heart.” – Mencius.www.kasiasmusic.comwww.kasiasfaithjourney.comhttps://www.facebook.com/kasiasfaithjourney/

Hi, I'm John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you're listening to Share Life Today. Just like adults, children need the hope of the Gospel. When they come to faith in Jesus, it changes everything for them. Jesus told His disciples in Luke eighteen, "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, many churches attended a training to learn how to disciple the children of their churches with the Gospel. As practice for the training, they went house to house sharing the Gospel. Children all along the way decided to follow them up to the church where the workshop was being held. In two afternoons, they shared the Gospel to four hundred and eighteen children and adults; and among them, three hundred and fifty-five made professions of Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Many of the parents of the children asked the Sunday school teachers to come back and share with the families as well! To learn how to share your faith, visit www.sharelife.today.

In the Gospels, Jesus shows great affection towards children. In Matthew, he says “unless you turn from your sins and become like little children you will never enter the kingdom.” In her wonderful book, Faith Like a Child, our friend Lacy Borgo writes, “Our first and most natural inclination as children is to connect with God in deeply uniting and often ordinary ways.” In this series, we are asking how have we left these childhood aspects of ourselves behind. And more importantly, how can we get them back so we might once again attach to God with faith like a child? This week, Kirsten Hitchcock gtaught us about the formational role of childlike play. Play ushers us into the freedom of Christ and invites us to be with Jesus. For some additional resources, please visit our website.

I've often been captured by a little line in the gospels. The disciples ask a question that has been burning in their hearts and minds, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” We signs of competition among the disciples, each wanting to prove himself the most faithful or the most gifted. They want to know how they can best get to the top in the eyes of Jesus. I don't think they're expecting the answer Jesus gives. He says, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (Mt 18:3).” Become like little children. What does that look like? How does that work? Why would little children be the greatest in the kingdom of God. To help us with that question and others like, my guest today is Lacy Finn Borgo, and we'll be talking about her latest book, Faith Like a Child: Embracing Our Lives as Children of God. I found our conversation personally helpful, and I'm hopeful you will, too. _________________________________________________________Connect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website.

Some of life's greatest lessons come from unexpected teachers. For Lacy Finn Borgo, some of her greatest teachers have been children. In Lacy's new book, Faith Like a Child: Embracing Our Lives as Children of God, Lacy invites us to consider what we might learn from children. Moreover, could welcoming our child selves draw us deeper into wholeness and our relationship with God?Lacy Finn Borgo teaches and provides spiritual direction through Renovaré, Mercy Center Burlingame, Companioning Center, and with children at Haven House, a transitional facility for families without homes. She holds a doctor of ministry degree in leadership and spiritual formation and a certificate in spiritual direction from Portland Seminary. Borgo has also authored Spiritual Conversations with Children and the children's book, All Will Be Well. In our time together, Lacy and I discuss what we can learn from children and what it means to welcome our child selves. We also consider the importance of tending to childhood wounds, how to remain open to wonder amidst life's griefs and brokenness, and why imagination is pivotal in the life of faith. This episode is filled with so much wisdom; I can't wait for you to listen.Learn more about Lacy's book, here.Buy Melissa L.

Next Generation Pastor Bruce Roberts dives in what it means to have "the faith of a child."
The word faith is not an unfamiliar word but true biblical defined faith may be to many. Jesus commends the innocent faith of child and told his disciples that they must become like a little child regarding their faith. That lesson is a difficult process but not when the Holy Spirit is running the show. When a believer surrenders their life to Jesus and the Holy Spirit now connects with them, their faith is now influenced and developed by God and becomes like that of a child.
Do you remember the days when you were a child? When everything seemed new and exciting, and you had a sense of wonder about the world? Kids have a way of approaching the world with openness and curiosity, making friends easily, and bouncing back from disappointment quickly. They're not afraid to admit when they're wrong and apologize openly. In this series, we'll explore what we can learn from the childlike mindset and how it can help us see the world in a new and exciting way.

Two men went to the temple to pray. But only one went home justified. Guess which one? The one with faith like a child.
When we think of childlike faith, we tend to think of this mindless, leap-but-don't-look, blind kind of faith in God. But those who say childlike faith means not asking questions must not have been around too many children. What if questions aren't a sign of unbelief? What if questions are actually an invitation into deeper intimacy with God? This week, we explore three ways children teach us about the Kingdom of God.
