Summary
In our third day focusing on what it means to be the child of God, we’re going to look at how we can live with childlike faith. One of the wonders of being children of the Creator and Sustainer of all, is our ability to let go of fear, and live with trust.
May you experience peace and courage today as you allow God to take burdens off of your shoulders, and live with childlike faith.
Our Scripture for today comes from Mark 10:15, and today's worship is Faithful Now by Vertical Worship.

Message From Craig:
We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.
I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.
And, if you give today, a generous donor has stepped forward with a $30,000 match, to DOUBLE every dollar you’re able to give! Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.
