Sermon Focus Points
►In our lives, we have many opportunities to choose the Lord. Our young children have the opportunity to receive great blessings from the Lord, when their parents choose to have them blessed.
►As parents, we choose to have our children blessed, because we want our children to have a great opportunity to learn of God, learning His ways and what He has in store for them.
►As a parent, a relative, or as a friend, we should seek to find ways that we can reach out to our young children to provide them opportunities to hear our testimonies and learn about God.
►In general terms, our purpose in life is to prepare ourselves to return to the Kingdom of God.
►More specifically, we should study and prepare to find the roles or jobs that God would have us do to build his Kingdom on earth.
►We have to have faith in God, that when we ask of God, He will give us that which He wants us to have.
►Regardless of what religious background you have, there is one God, and He loves you, and has a great desire to come unto Him, and receive the greatest of all gifts.
►God offers to us the opportunity to receive of the fruit of the Spirit which is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; (Galatians 5:22-23)
