February 1, 2009: Jesus and the Little Children
The text for this lesson is Mark 10:13–16.
Key Points
- Jesus came to us, who in our sin are helpless, dependent, and needy, to bestow His love and eternal gifts upon us.
- Law: Sinners look up: up to the bigger income, the larger house, the greater popularity. They thrill over the feel of the next ladder rung, clawing their way to the top. The “beatitudes” of this world run like this: “Blessed are the rich… blessed are the independent… blessed are those who take care of themselves.” But as wise Solomon says (who ought to know!), “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death” (Proverbs 14:12)
Podcast Scheduling
We apologize to our listeners that this week’s podcast is being delivered much later than is normally planned and/or expected. Several factors—including inclement weather here in St. Louis—have unfortunately interfered with mastering the delivering the audio for this week in a timely fashion.
We intend to get the podcast back to a regular schedule as soon as possible, and will be making a concerted effort at jumping ahead slightly over the next couple of weeks so that circumstances such as those that occurred this week will not interfere with the publishing schedule. The intention is for the podcast to be posted on the afternoon two Saturdays before the lesson date. This gives listeners a full week of preparation and devotion prior to teaching, and also permits pastors or superintendents who wish the ability to burn CDs of the podcast for distribution to Sunday School teachers a full week in advance.
We hope to have the podcast for the 1st posted early this afternoon and the podcast for the 8th posted on Monday afternoon.
If you have any comments regarding the site or podcast, commenting is open in this post and we invite you to leave a comment to let us know what you think of Seeds of Faith. Please feel free to spread the word regarding this helpful resource and encourage others—even those who are not Sunday School teachers—to download and listen.
We hope and pray that you will continue to find this resource a helpful and edifying one as you prepare your Sunday School lesson, desire to know what your children are learning in Sunday School, or listen just to hear and learn.
