     | 5,257 views

    Have you ever set out after something and you got close but you didn’t quite get it? Just coming close can be pretty debilitating and frustrating. But nothing would be worse than getting close to the kingdom of God but not getting there.

    Can you imagine a mother hearing her baby cry and just ignoring it? No way! A mother will do whatever she can to find out what her baby wants or needs and tend to that need. Can you imagine God knowing that we have a need and ignoring it? Not a chance!

    Good morning boys and girls! How many of you have a little brother or a little sister? How about a puppy or a kitten? How do they get attention when they want something? They whine or cry when they are hungry, thirsty tired or wet. For example, babies don’t care if they are home or in a ...read more

    Jesus is the Way INTRODUCTION The idea of the Way is something I can remember growing up with. Throughout my childhood, I heard the phrase.

    Philippians 4:8 calls us to think upon such things as truth, nobility, righteousness, purity, loveliness, etc. Why? What help will that be to the Christian. More importantly, what help will that be for the Kingdom of God in drawing others to Jesus?

Our new memory verse is actually a follow-on to one of our earlier memory Scriptures; Philippians 4:6-7. “Finally, Brothers (or Brethren) …” Newer versions have “brothers and sisters”. Why?
