stuck up a tree?

What do you do when you're too short to see through the crowd and too unpopular for the crowd to help. Well Zaccheus found himself facing this problem. His solution? was to climb a tree. His hope was to see Jesus go by, but the Lord knew that Zaccheus needed more than that small hope. Zaccheus not only saw Jesus, he met him in such a way that it literally changed his life. Have we met this same Jesus?

let the children come..

This week we looked at Jesus' attitude to the children. Even his friends had not recognised how diferently jesus viewed people. In a society where children were not valued, Jesus told the leaders that they could learn a lot from the children and their attitudes. Today we have the same challenge, how do we view the children that we know?

We also learnt that God does not set age limits for those that can know him, we are never to young or to old.

A listening ear.

Well this week we looked at Mary and Martha. In today's society we always seem to be busy, DOING something even if it's fun. Martha would understand that, but the Bible tells us that Mary chose a beter way, because Mary took time out to LISTEN to what was ebing said. Are we wiling to stop our busyness so that we have time to listem?
