This Week’s Bible Story
Let the Little Children Come to Me (Mark 10) The gospel is for everyone in the world. Because everyone in the world is small, helpless, and weak compared to God. No one can live with God forever until they realize they are as weak and helpless as toddlers. That’s how God wants us to come to him. And when we do, he will take us in his arms and bless us.
