Jesus and the Children
by Rex Yancey
A bachelor wrote a book on rearing children. He entitled it the ten commandments of raising children. He got married and had one child. He changed his book title to ten suggestions for rearing children. He had a second child. He changed the title to helpful hints for rearing children. One man took of poll of what children thought about death and dying. One said, ''When I die, I don't want to go to heaven because I want to be with all my friends.'' Another said, ''When you die you don't have to do homework in heaven unless your teacher is there, too.'' Another one said, ''I am not afraid to die, I'm a Boy Scout.'' Another said...
Children: God's Gift
by Robert Dawson
A young couple had been married a few years. One day the husband came home from work to find his wife waiting at the door with a great big hug and kiss with a huge smile on her face. A little taken back the husband asked what was going on. She said she had a big surprise for him. The wife looked at her husband still grinning from ear to ear just giddy with excitement and said, ''Soon we will not be the only two people living in this house!'' Her husband swept her off her feet, swung her around, hugged her and kissed her and said, ''You have made me the happiest man alive!'' The wife looked back at him and...
The Place of Children in the Family
by Miles Seaborn
God uses the family to illustrate the relationship between us and God and between us as God's children. 397 times he refers to Father - Mothers - Children in their human relationship. God mentioned children and this earthly relationship so often because he meant them to be! They are a blessing of God and are to be treated as such. They can add the spice and joy to life or they can make a home hell on earth. They do not do it; right or wrong by themselves, but are guided - influenced and controlled through their parents. We urgently need to know what is God's plan for children and therefore, parents. Our world literally...
Jesus Loves The Little Children
by Daniel Rodgers
On Friday evening we had "Awards Night" in our church for our Neighborhood Bible Time program, which ran from last Sunday through Friday. We had many children throughout the week—teenagers and younger, who received the Lord as their Savior. How wonderful to see boys and girls come to Jesus. Many of those children we will never see again. Some people might ask, "Why all the fuss? Why all the expenditure of money, time and effort?" That was the attitude of the disciples in Mark, chapter 10: "And they brought young children to Him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked...
Jesus Loves Children
by Jerry Vines
Tonight gives me the perfect setting for what I have been wanting to talk with you about for a good while. Listen to these verses in Mark 9, beginning with verse 36. "And he (the Lord Jesus) took a child and set him in the midst of them. And when he had taken him in his arms he said unto them, Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me. And whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me but him that sent me." Look at verse 42 of that chapter."And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and he were...
Children (11 of 15)
by Zach Terry
CONTEXT: When the Gospel came to the Roman Empire a revolution came with it. It was said of the Apostles, ''These men are turning the world upside down'' well in fact they were turning it right side up, but this is the nature of the Gospel. It is a revolutionary notion. MARRIAGE WAS REVOLUTIONIZED Marriage in the Colossian culture was a very flippant thing. - Wives were treated like a combination of concubine and household slave. - Even in a Jewish home men were permitted to divorce their wives for the slightest infraction. If she lost her attractiveness, divorce. If she burnt dinner, divorce. But God called His men to love their wives..
Children and Parents (1 of 2)
by Brian Fletcher
17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them. 20 Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. 21 Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged. Introduction: Let me guess what happened in your house this morning… Parent: Time to get up, you've got 45 minutes til we leave for church. Child: uuggh. 15 minutes later… Parent: please get up, we are leaving in 30 minutes 15 more minutes later… Parent: Get out of bed, now! We are leaving for church in 15 minutes. Child: why do we have to go to church? church is boring. 10 minutes later… child walks into kitchen Parent: what are you wearing?
The Children of God (1 of 4)
by Patrick Edwards
We conclude our Christmas series this morning ''Why God became Man,'' by looking at perhaps one of the most neglected aspects of Jesus Christ, that being His life. We spend considerable time on his birth, considerable time on His death and resurrection, but we tend to pass over or ignore the significance of His life. I've shared this with a few of you before, but as a kid I use to find this intermediate season between Christmas and Easter terribly confusing. I always wondered how could Jesus have grown from a baby to adult man and done all the things that He did in only three or four months? I mean its funny how a child's mind works...
Children's Rights
by Jim Henry
Our parental responsibility is to teach our children. In teaching our children we need to remember that ''folly is bound up in the heart of a child,'' as the writer of Proverbs says. The word folly means ''foolishness,'' which can be driven out by the ''rod of discipline.'' That rod of discipline doesn't always mean a spanking with a hand or a belt or something else; it can mean other forms of discipline. But we need to remind our children that they are part of a fallen race, and have inherited an evil heart, but that Christ can make them right and cleansed, and forgiven, and good. Our society says you're good, and then you may become evil. God's Word says you have a sinful heart but by the help of Christ you can be good. So it's important that we teach them about their fallen nature and that their hearts are foolish. That doesn't put them down, that doesn't make them seem less of a person; it helps them basically...
Parents and Children in the Home (5 of 6)
by Josh Malone
Is there a topic a parent feels less qualified to talk about than parenting? I have 3 children ages 5, 3, and 6 months. I have not parented someone through elementary school much less the teen years, so this topic intimidates me. - At the same time it highly interests me because... I'm living it every day 24/7. And I want to do it well because I have been entrusted with parenting 3 image bearers of God. 3 souls God sent His Son to die for. While I feel like I have a lot to learn I take heart today in that as far as we know the Apostle Paul had no wife or children, and yet God used him to teach on both marriage and...
Jesus and the Children
by J. Gerald Harris
The message this morning has to do with Jesus and the children. The Bible teaches that children are a blessing from God. In Genesis 17:16 God was talking to Abraham concerning his wife Sarah. And God said, "I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother." In Genesis 33 we read that Jacob and Esau came together to restore their severed relationship. For many years they had been separated because of bitterness and deceit and hatred. But when they came together, Esau said to Jacob, "Who are those with thee?"And Jacob said, "The children which God has graciously given...

Lie #10: ''I Can Teach My Children to Love Jesus While Neglecting Jesus' Bride.'' (10 of 10)
by Wyman Richardson
I would like to ask you to imagine with me that your son gets married. The wedding is beautiful. Everything goes off without a hitch. You and your spouse finally leave the reception with feelings of joy, contentment and exuberance. It is late when you finally decide to turn in for the night. You change our of your wedding clothes into your pajamas, cut off all the lights and lay down in bed. Just as you go to shut your eyes, there is a knock at your door. ''Who on earth could that be?'' you mutter as you make your way down the hall to the front door. You crack the door to see your son standing, alone, outside. Alarmed, you throw open...
Children of Promise and Children of Flesh (29 of 48)
by Patrick Edwards
The church in Galatia during the first century found itself locked in a dispute over whether faith in Jesus is sufficient for salvation. You see as we've discussed before, there were some from the Jewish religion who argued faith was necessary, but by itself could not save a person. Works of the Law, namely obedience to the Law of Moses, were required in order to be accepted by God. For anyone whose read the book of Galatians, you know, then, that Paul's major weapon for response was the Jewish Scripture, the Old Testament. He shows how faith has always been sufficient for salvation, and one of the many Old...
Lie #5: ''I Should Not Make My Children Attend Church.'' (5 of 10)
by Wyman Richardson
It was certainly an attention-grabbing headline: ''Some Atheist Scientists Are Taking Their Children to Church - But Why?'' The article was reporting on recent research revealing that ''17 percent of non-believers who have children said that they attended religious services more than one time in the past year.'' Their reasons for taking their children to church were interesting: - Some want their children to be informed about the religions of the world. - Some do so because of the religious convictions of their spouses. - Some appreciate the sense of community they feel at church. Regardless of their motivation, it is a tragic but...

The Silence of a Father, the Sins of the Children
by Ken Trivette
There is one thing I have learned in the past 23 years; being a father is not an easy job. It is at times a delightful experience, but there are times when it is also a difficult excursion. As every parent knows, parenting is not without it's rewards, but it also not without its responsibilities. It is not without its thrills, but it also not without its tears. It is not without its proud moments, but it also not without its painful moments.Sometimes, fathers feel like the expectant father who passed out in the waiting room. Several fathers were sitting in the waiting room, while their wives were in the delivery room. A nurse came in and announced to one...
