Scripture Reading - Matthew 18:1-9

Let’s talk about “sin”

“Sin” is not simply bad behavior.

“Sin” is when these arrows get crossed and confused.

“If anyone causes one of these little ones-- those who believe in me-- to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come! (Matthew 18:6-7)

Crossing & confusing the arrows scares the children. Stop scaring the children!

Uncrossing the arrows...for the children!

Stop asking “am I okay with God?” (You are!)

Start asking “am I okay with my family member, friend, ____________?”

(you might have some work to do)
