Series - Like a Child
Jesus’ saying in Matthew 18:3, “Unless you change and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven (NRSV),” is often mentioned in the Children’s Ministry to encourage everyone to welcome little children. Through his life and ministry, Jesus taught and showed what it means to be like a child and what it looks like to be like a child. This sermon series is based on children’s storybooks loved in various periods at different places. Intertwining with a well-known biblical passage, each storybook teaches us our Christian values and helps us to be “like a child” regardless of our age. Let us remember that God calls us God’s children.
Like a Child: Giving Tree – August 28, 2022
Giving Tree, written by Shel Silverstein, is one of Pastor Jiyeon’s favorite storybooks from her childhood. The giving tree has remained in her heart since then and helped her to grow up as a disciple of Jesus Christ. The tree, like our God, teaches us God’s love which gave up the only Son’s life, and our child-like heart that comes back to the tree over and over again whatever happens in our lives. This sermon encourages all of us to come back to God who is always there for us, loves us, cares for us, and gives us all God has.
