Good Sunday, August 30th, 2026, to you who love Jesus and those we might lead to Jesus.
DAILY PRAYER:
Father God, we come to You in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Thank you for this new and beautiful day that You gave us today. Lord, we ask that You open our eyes, ears, hearts, and minds to the message You have for us today. Give us ears to hear, and set our hearts a blaze for You! Father God, we thank You for Your care and provision in our lives, and Your Holy Spirit with us! Amen.
TODAY’S MESSAGE:
Mark 10:14 NIV
“When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
Pastor’s INSIGHT:
Friends,
The disciples' initial response reflects a common misunderstanding of who is worthy of God's attention. We see this all the time, even today. Jesus corrects this by showing that God's kingdom is open to all, regardless of status or age.
Brothers and Sisters,
Jesus' reaction to the disciples' rebuke shows His open-heartedness for welcoming all, especially those who are often marginalized or undervalued, the weak and dependent. This teaches us about the inclusive nature of God's kingdom.
Church,
The kingdom of God is accessible to all who approach with a childlike heart. This challenges us as believers to examine our attitudes and approach to faith. As believers, we are encouraged to cultivate childlike attributes like innocence, trust, and humility as we come to the Lord in our spiritual lives.
Disciples,
The Kingdom of God belongs to those who come as children do, conscious of need, dependent on another, and trusting rather than self-reliant. Jesus was not commending childish immaturity, but rather the humble faith that receives God’s grace as a gift. His words also affirm the value of children before God. Jesus said that entrance into the kingdom requires receiving it with childlike dependence.
