“Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” — Mark 10:15
 
Imagine a child running into the arms of their parent — completely trusting, completely dependent, entirely at peace. That’s the kind of faith Jesus is calling us to.

The title of this message may surprise you. After all, maturity is often celebrated. In church, at work, or even at home, we hear: “Good job! You’re very mature!”

But spiritual maturity does not mean abandoning the innocence, humility, or vulnerability of a child. In fact, lacking these childlike traits may reveal true immaturity in our relationship with God.

This Sunday, we’ll explore this passage together and check what it means to be childlike in the Kingdom of God — and why it is essential for every follower of Christ.

 Your prayers are greatly appreciated, and I look forward to seeing you there.

“The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear Him you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else. To be brought into His presence is to be made childlike, simple, and free.” Oswald Chambers
