Not all the answers but I do know where get them along with advice from others

Going to share about 2-3 scriptures for use to discuss / feel free to be part of things

We need Jesus - Matthew 18:1-6

v1 - Side conversation while Jesus was doing miracles among them
Disciples we arguing about who was the greatest... maybe they were saying - I am the best parent or I have the best kid

v2 - God thoughts: The ones we are to teach are the ones who teach us the very lesson we need to teach them

v3 - It does not come naturally, we need to change

Starts with us - to get our relationship with God in order first - to be a child of God

Why is it so important to become childlike?

  • So we can have a relationship with God / welcome Jesus
  • Make it to heaven / considered the greatest
  • Not become a stumbling block
In what ways do we need to become like a child?
  • Humble ourselves
  • Rely on God
  • Seek out answers/advice from others
  • Earniestness to learn
  • Be relatable

Key Phrase: The ones we are to teach are the ones who teach us the very lesson we need to teach them
