(Je. 17:9; Mk 7:20-23).
I aimed the message at the children (6 and under), explaining where sin comes from.
I asked what kind of trees orange seeds and apple seeds produce.
I explained that fruits and vegetables grow on vines, bushes and trees. The seed produces the fruit.
We are all born with seeds of sin.
Sin seeds produce sin.
God removes sins and seeds.
PASSAGE AND MESSAGE...
Mark 7:20-23
20 And he said, That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
Explained the “seeds” in the passage.
Adultery and fornication is when a mommy or daddy stops loving the husband or wife and starts loving another person instead. This causes mommies and daddies to leave little children or families to be broken apart. The seed for a broken home is in the heart and can be removed by Jesus.
Murder is when a person becomes so mad at another person that they want to hit them, hurt them and sometimes even kill them. The seed produces anger then violence and finally murder. The seed for murder is in te heart and can be removed by Jesus.
Theft is when a person takes what does not belong to them, to steal something. To take from a friend, a store or anyone, starts with greed, wanting what is not yours. The seed for stealing is in the heart and can be removed by Jesus.
Deceit is when a person lies to someone else. It starts in the heart and then a parent is lied to, a friend is lied to and eventually everyone gets lied to. The seed for lying is in the heart and can be removed by Jesus.
Jealousy and Pride are when people think they are better than others or don't like it when others get good things in life. The seed for jealousy and pride is in the heart and can be removed by Jesus.
People need to be saved from ugly seed when they are young or the seed will produce more sin and be harder to get rid of.
JESUS SAVES FROM ALL SIN
Jesus will forgive us for the wrong we do, remove the ugly fruit form out lives.

We must learn to allow that Seed of God to grow and produce Christlike lives.
