"And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 'Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me, but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.'"
Matthew 18:2–6 (ESV)
Christ Community Church values children. For that reason, we need an active children's ministry which can communicate the glory and value of God to the youngest of children. Beyond that, younger families are not likely to make a church which does not minister to their children their church home.
But, in spite of this, as we bang the drum for people to step up and volunteer to serve these children and their families, you may yet wonder, "Why me?"
Reason #7 - You will be reminded of the nature of faith.
I am going to keep it very simple this week.
Jesus calls us to the faith of a child.
Do you know what that looks like?
Do you know what that means?
How would that look in your life?
Spend some time with a child.
Think about it.
