Give It Up

Luke 18:15-30

Sermon Notes

1) Give it up … and come as a child

2) Give “it” up … that idol you’re clinging to

3) Give it up … and get something greater

Reflection questions:

1.    What characterizes a child? What about a child might Jesus be asking us to mimic when he says "come like a child"?

2.    What are some ways you have failed to love God above anything else? What are typical things that you tend to really love in this world?

3.    In what ways have you fallen short in "loving your neighbor" to the best of your ability?

4.    How is money a particularly dangerous idol?

5.    How might you, today, respond to Jesus' call to "give it up", to give up whatever might be holding you back from fully following him, fully loving him, fully loving your neighbor?
