Psalm 7:1-5, 8-12. 17

    1    O Lord my God, in you do I take refuge;
              save me from all my pursuers and deliver me,
    2    lest like a lion they tear my soul apart,
              rending it in pieces, with none to deliver.

    3    O Lord my God, if I have done this,
              if there is wrong in my hands,
    4    if I have repaid my friend with evil
              or plundered my enemy without cause,
    5    let the enemy pursue my soul and overtake it,
              and let him trample my life to the ground
              and lay my glory in the dust. Selah

    8    The Lord judges the peoples;
              judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness
              and according to the integrity that is in me.
    9    Oh, let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
              and may you establish the righteous—
          you who test the minds and hearts,
              O righteous God!
    10   My shield is with God,
              who saves the upright in heart.
    11   God is a righteous judge,
              and a God who feels indignation every day.

    12   If a man does not repent, God will whet his sword;
              he has bent and readied his bow;

    17 I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
              and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.

Kids and the Kingdom 

The Kingdom of Jesus: A Study in Luke’s Gospel (#67)

Luke 18:15-17

Pastor Steve Gilbertson

In recent weeks we’ve heard Jesus tell stories affirming the value of oppressed widows and sinful tax collectors. Today we encounter the third in this series of events, where Jesus affirms the importance of children in the kingdom of God. What does this teach us about kids and the kingdom? Let’s find out....
