Welcoming Kids, Welcoming Christ – Sherri Guenther Trautwein

  September 22, 2024


As we continue our Walking with Jesus series this week, we overhear Jesus sharing serious words about where his life and ministry are headed, while his disciples are pre-occupied with arguing over “who is the greatest.” A little child in their midst catches Jesus’ eye, leading the adults to have an upside-down conversation about what it looks like to welcome God. What does this story reveal about Jesus and how does it invite us to walk with him?

Scripture: Mark 9:30-37 (additional lectionary texts include: Prov 31:10-31, Psalm 1, James 3: 13-4:3, 7-8a)
