Bible Verses for Today’s Message

Matthew 21:15-16    And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased, And said to him, Hear you what these say? And Jesus said to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected praise?
Mark 10:13-16    And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said to them, Suffer the little children to come to me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Truly I say to you, Whoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands on them, and blessed them.
Matthew 18:2-6    And Jesus called a little child to him, and set him in the middle of them, And said, Truly I say to you, Except you be converted, and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever shall receive one such little child in my name receives me. But whoever shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.


Gains From the Meeting:
Brothers and sisters, do you have any new knowledge of God through today’s preaching? How will you put the Lord’s teachings into practice in your daily life?

Notice:
Brothers and sisters, please preach the gospel to your relatives and friends who haven’t believe in the Lord. Because this is the Lord’s commission and our mission.

During the preaching, please turn off your cell phone or turn it on silent. Do not loiter around or speak loudly. Or you may disturb others.

Pray:
Pray for being wise virgins and hearing the voice of God in the last days, so that we can welcome the Lord, and feast with the Lamb.
Pray for spreading the gospel of the heavenly kingdom all across the world, so that those who love truths and long for God’s manifestation will be able to return to God.
Pray that all brothers and sisters can cast off the binds of their sinful nature and live in the light of God.
Pray that God is always with us and protect us to live in God’s love.
