SHARE LIFE WITH CHILDREN

March 17, 2024

The movie, “Hawaii” was taken from James Michener’s novel.  In it, Abner and Jerusha Hale sail to Hawaii to minister to the people of the islands.  They save a baby with a facial birthmark from being intentionally drowned in the ocean while they work to dissuade the islanders from the terrible practice of killing imperfect children.

Jerusha ends up having babies and working herself into an early death.  Abner’s children get sent to the United States, and Abner feels all alone, forsaken by the people of the island.  However, when he comes home, he finds a young man who said he wants to help Abner with his missionary work.  Suddenly Abner realizes that the young man is the one whom he saved as a baby.  He runs into his house to tell Jerusha about the young man’s presence.  Then he remembers that his wife is dead.  Yet now this young man’s presence gives him hope.

Sunday I’m preaching on “Share Life with Children” from 2 Kings 11:1-12.  We’ll look at “Protect Children,” verses 1-1; and “Crown Children with Honor,” verse 12.  We’ll see how Prince Joash was protected as a baby from a murderous grandmother, and was then crowned as king of Judah at age 7.  He will then reign for forty years.  This shows us the beauty and power of protecting and honoring children.

Let’s invite children, their parents and single people to our Good Friday events at 5:00 and our Sunday School and worship services on Easter at 10:30.  It can lead to protecting and honoring people for eternity!

Love,

Jim Meek
