Message: Matthew 18:1-5 “The Faith of Children”
In a time and culture where children were to be ‘seen and not heard,’ Jesus offers a powerful, counter-cultural message. We have much to learn about faith from children, and if we are to truly be ‘kingdom people’ we will need to become more like children in our faith. Of course, this is a two way street, since our children learn much about their own faith and trust by their relationship with their parents. In a culture where women were not considered ‘teachers,’ we discover that children often learned much about faith and trust in God through their relationship with their mothers.
