For the Love of Children | Matthew 18-19 | Gary Hamrick

1/17/2021
The Bible teaches us that God has a big heart for all people, but especially for children. Between Matthew 18-19, children are mentioned nine times. In particular, those references teach us (1) the example of children, (2) the warning against harming children, (3) the angelic protection of children, and (4) the eternal reward for children. Have you ever wondered what happens to children when they die before they have a chance to accept Jesus? What happens to the souls of aborted or miscarried babies? What can we learn from children? Join us for a Sanctity of Life teaching as Pastor Gary shares about the value and importance of children.

My daughter was diagnosed with brain tumor at the age of 12 and half.We lost her after one year. She had made a personal decision to accept Christ. She loved hearing Jesus stories from the age of 4, when I read to her from the Bible. She was unbelievably calm and at peace throughout her treatment ( surgeries, radiation and chemo). I know by that, that Jesus was with her.
I'm at peace, knowing that I'll meet her one day and that she's not lost forever.

In the romantic poet William Wordsworth’s poem, Intimations of Immortality, the child is the teacher of the adult.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Help my family, those I love, your church and me to come closer to Jesus and ask wise questions,
Help us to turn away from our sins and become like children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven,
Help us not to make anyone fall into sin,
Help us to make believers who sin against us see the fault either speaking to them privately or with two or three witnesses who can confirm everything I say,
Help us to prohibit on earth and it will be prohibited in heaven, help us to allow on earth and it will be permitted in heaven,
Help us to agree on earth regarding your word so that your father who is in heaven does it,
Thank you for being where there are two or three in your name,
Help us to forgive our brothers in heart,
I ask and declare all of the above in the powerful name of Christ Jesus
Inspired by Matthew  18 & Matthew 7:7–8.

Ask the God of Israel what, how, when, where, why, with whom, and for what, of every verse in your Bible, and you will be surprised.

I was just thinking about JENIN, the child situation in PALESTINE, . Where is the church ?

Apparently Cornerstone Chapel does not officially observed "Sanctity of Life Sunday." Hopefully this oversight has been corrected since this sermon.
