No Age Limits!
Matthew 19:13-15
Pastor Willie Behrends
Many things in life come with an age limit, but today Matthew shares a wonderful truth with us: according to Jesus there’s NO age limit in the Kingdom of Heaven!
These three short verses contain three powerful truths…
I – What we ________________________, Jesus welcomes! (13)
II – Faith has no __________________ requirement! (14)
III – Stop being the _______________________! (15)
Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself…
1. “Who am I tempted to _________________ in my world?”
2. “Do I ___________ and _____________ Jesus like a child?”
3. “Are there ways I’m ______________ others from Jesus?”
NEXT WEEK: The Dad Who Doesn’t Give Up! Luke 15:11-32

LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS…
‘Getting to know you…’
What was one of your favorite things to do as a kid? When you think of ‘childlike faith’ what personal images or experiences come to mind?
Read Matthew 19:13-15 (Questions based on the English Standard Version© (ESV) Bible, 2001)
Questions…
1. Read verse 13. Why do you think the disciples tried to stop the children from coming to Jesus? Who are the people we often ‘rebuke’ or overlook in our church (or Our Worlds) today?
2. Read verse 14. List some of the qualities of children that you think Jesus might have been referencing as ‘kingdom-worthy.’ What are some ways we might unintentionally, (or even intentionally!) make it harder for some in Our Worlds to come to Jesus?
3. In verse 15, why is it significant that Jesus took the time to bless the children before He went away? What would it look like for us to ‘lay hands’ on others in a blessing-oriented way?
GROW…
What would it look like for you to return to a more ‘child-like’ faith in your walk with Christ? What ‘grown-up baggage’ do you need to lay down, and how will you go about doing that?
GO…
Is there someone in Your World, (a child, a new believer, an overlooked person, etc.) that God is prompting you to welcome, encourage or bless? How can you reach out to them, and how can this Life Group help, (even through the summer months until we meet together again in the Fall?)
Pray for each other as you go to Your Worlds this week.
