10:30 AM SUNDAY WORSHIP

Sermon:  Pastor E. V.  Lightfoot

"He Took A Child"

   Sermon Text: Proverbs 22:6

Call to Worship: Psalm 11:1-4

Responsive Reading: Mark 9: 33-37

Introduction:  One of our earliest memories from Sunday school is the picture of Jesus blessing the little children. He had one on his lap and other boys and girls standing or seated all around him. Looking at that picture,

before we could read or write, we learned that Jesus is a child’s friend. We learned the most wonderful lesson of all: God loves us and cares about us, and we have worth even as children.

I. The Importance of Children.

II. The rights of children.

III. The discipline of children.

IV. Children and priorities.

 Conclusion: We need to give our children a few things. The first is roots, and the second is wings. We need to give them a sense of belonging. We need to give them freedom to prepare to be on their own. Our greatest

dream for our children is that one day we will be instrumental in placing their hands in the hand of God. This is not automatic, nor is it something we can force. There is no guarantee that our children will grow up to be Christians. The church must join parents in helping them place their children’s hands in the hand of God. Training children in the way they should go calls for dedication of parents, extended families, and the church. God, give us Christian homes!
