Matthew 18:1-4
The disciples
came to Jesus and asked,
“Who is greatest
in the Kingdom of Heaven?”
Jesus called a little child to him
and put the child among them.
Then he said,
“I tell you the truth,
unless you turn from your sins
and become like little children,
you will never get into
the Kingdom of Heaven.
So anyone
who becomes as humble
as this little child
is the greatest
in the Kingdom of Heaven.”

Stressed Out

Wish we could turn back time
to the good old days
When our momma sang
us to sleep, but now we’re stressed out

EXCERPT FROM SERMON
Why are we so stressed out?
Because life forces us to trade-in
our fun for busyness,
our peace for fear,
and our freedom for slavery.

And what have we chained
ourselves to?
Success, perfection,
and other people’s approval.

from my childhood.
He’s the picture of

He has two homes,

And this man
who wants for nothing
broke down in tears
as we talked.
“I have no friends.
I have no purpose.
My life is just stuff.
All I do is work.
People are only interested
in my money.”

He told me the only thing
he enjoyed anymore
was remembering
when we were kids…
