THE KING AND HIS KINGDOM - Matthew 19:13-15

MATTHEW 19:13 

1. BRING THEM TO JESUS

YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE WORLD YOUR CHILDREN WILL GROW UP IN, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL WHETHER JESUS IS THE CENTER OF THE WORLD YOU BUILD AROUND THEM.

SOMETIMES THE GREATEST THING YOU CAN GIVE A CHILD ISN'T ANOTHER POSSESSION. IT'S THE PRESENCE OF JESUS.

WE CAN BECOME SO FOCUSED ON DOING SOMETHING FOR JESUS THAT WE BECOME TOO BUSY TO BRING PEOPLE TO JESUS.

MATTHEW 19:14

2. DON'T BECOME THE BARRIER

TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THIS STORY

1. PEOPLE WHO BRING PEOPLE TO JESUS.

2. PEOPLE WHO STAND IN THE WAY.

3. JESUS HAS ROOM FOR THEM

4. THE KINGDOM IS RECEIVED, NOT ACHIEVED

THE KINGDOM ISN'T ENTERED BY PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY NEED NOTHING; IT'S ENTERED BY PEOPLE WHO KNOW THEY NEED JESUS.

MATTHEW 19:15

5. WHAT JESUS TOUCHES CHANGES

1 TIMOTHY 4:12 “LET NO ONE DESPISE YOU FOR YOUR YOUTH…”

3 POINTS

1. DON'T UNDERESTIMATE WHO JESUS CAN USE.

2. DON'T STAND BETWEEN PEOPLE AND JESUS.

3. WHAT YOU PLACE IN JESUS' HANDS IS NEVER WASTED.
