Faith Outside the Lines

This is a shorter lesson prepared for Sunday, December 19th, the day of our Children’s Christmas program.  I tried to pull out something unique to children to highlight why we should imitate their faith.  Much of what is contained in this lesson is inspired by Mike Yaconelli’s “Dangerous Wonder.”  He highlights the unassuming, wild, often wreckless, ways of the child and offers this up as the manner in which we should approach our King.  We have too often had our Jesus ears deafened by traditionalism, expectations of others and our own spiritual baggage.  These things prevent us from knowing the amazement and wonder that children experience day in and day out.
