[Music] This is the children's hour. All of the children in the congregation from the kindergarten level through the fifth grade come forward at this time.

00:22:23.560 - 00:22:56.280

Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, forbid them not." Do not hinder them for such is the kingdom of God. Wise men long ago said train up a child in the way that he should go and when he is old he will not

00:22:56.280 - 00:23:17.200

depart from it. [Music] The Apostle Paul said, "When I was a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things."

00:23:17.200 - 00:23:56.940

(bell tolling) [BELL RINGING] [MUSIC PLAYING] [Bells ringing]

00:23:56.940 - 00:24:27.260

From the God's Word, the 130th Psalm and the fourth verse are these words, "But there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared." But there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared. Would you repeat that with me?

00:24:27.260 - 00:24:54.140

But there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared. All right, that's wonderful. The subject of our sermon today is "Even if I'm bad." "Even if I'm bad."

00:24:54.140 - 00:25:17.140

There was once a little boy whose name was Johnny. And Johnny stayed in an orphan home. That's the place where children are taken who have no fathers and mothers and relatives to take care of them. They are put in an orphan home.

00:25:17.140 - 00:25:36.140

So Johnny was in an orphan home. And Johnny was what is called a bad little boy. He was always getting in trouble. He was always doing something wrong.

00:25:36.140 - 00:25:51.140

When he was supposed to be quiet, he was always noisy. When he was supposed to be still, he was always wiggling. When he should be listening, he was always talking. He was what they called a bad little boy.

00:25:51.140 - 00:26:20.140

He was getting in fights and doing things that the people didn't want him to do. So they said that Johnny is a bad, bad boy. So there would be people who would come to the orphan home from time to time to get a child, to adopt a child. They would take Johnny home to be their boy, but Johnny was such a bad boy, they'd bring him back.

00:26:20.140 - 00:26:46.300

And this happened time and time again. again Johnny would be brought back. So the people would say that Johnny is a bad boy. Even the people in the orphan home said Johnny is a bad bad boy. But there came a family to this home one day and they were talking to the social

00:26:46.300 - 00:27:25.580

worker in that home about Johnny and Johnny overheard them talking about him and they said well we think we will take this little boy so well we don't know whether you want this boy or not so maybe you should take him on trial to see if you like him and so they said no we'll take him to be our boy so they

00:27:25.580 - 00:27:52.380

took Johnny home Johnny still was acting like he'd always been acting getting into trouble in fact he seemed to try to get worse when he was taken to the home So he said to them after he did several things he said aren't you gonna take me back? They said no Johnny we aren't gonna take you back to the orphan home.

00:27:52.380 - 00:28:09.380

We love you Johnny. You are our boy always. And he said even if I'm bad? They said yes even if you're bad we still love you. You are our boy.

00:28:09.380 - 00:28:28.380

Well, that's the way God is. He loves us. Even if we are bad, even if we do wrong, He still loves us. He wants us to be good and to do what's good. But even if we are bad and don't always do what is right and good,

00:28:28.380 - 00:28:46.480

God loves us. He forgives us. He gives us another chance. Let's bow our heads. We thank you, O God, that you love us, that you are concerned about us, you care about

00:28:46.480 - 00:29:12.480

us even when we are bad. Amen. [music] [ Music ]
