Description
In the gospels, there is a passage of scripture where we see how close to Jesus heart, little children are. For the scripture says that He was “greatly displeased”, when He found out that the disciples were trying to keep the little children from coming to Him. I can imagine that the disciples learnt very quickly not to transgress in this area again. So just why was Jesus so protective over small children? Jesus answers that question Himself, when He plainly tells us that, “of such is the kingdom of God”. Jesus stated that children were of the kingdom of God, because He knew that all children were born of God. This course teaches what the bible says on the subject.
This course is meant for all audiences. No previous theological study is required or expected, for it is meant to give a basic understanding of what the bible says about children.
Michael Maher will lecture from the bible, to walk the student through heaven's view of children, and how they fit into the kingdom of God. Quizzes have been developed to help test comprehension of the video lectures.
This course focuses on explaining the biblical view of all children in the earth. As a supplementary resource, this course can be taken in tandem with the reading of Michael Maher’s book, Of Such is the Kingdom.
I trust that the material and the dialogue with other students will be encouraging and enlightening for all.
Who this course is for:
- This is an entry level course for anyone wishing to understand how children fit into the kingdom of God.
- This course is not for those who wish to enter into religious debates.

From childhood, Michael E.B. Maher has always known that the Lord's call was upon his life for the ministry. When he was saved at the age of twenty-two, almost immediately the Lord Jesus began to deal with him about entering the ministry. However, it was only many years later that he committed to the Lord to answer the Lord's call to the ministry. And so, in 2014 Michael Maher Ministries was begun. From the beginning, the mandate given to Michael from the Lord Jesus was to preach the word. And so, this ministry preaches the word of God on every available platform around the world.
