In this sermon, Pastor David explores the deeper meaning behind Jesus’ statement about children inheriting the Kingdom of God. Often, we wonder what is so special about children that makes them an example of entering God’s Kingdom. However, the focus of this passage isn’t on their innocence, but on their lowly position in society—yet they are still deserving of love and grace. Jesus uses this to show us the kind of humility and selflessness we must adopt to fully embrace the values of the Kingdom. David also dives into how we, as caregivers and mentors, can nurture children through their natural developmental phase of self-centeredness, guiding them with love and patience into becoming individuals who truly love others. Join us in this thought-provoking journey as we reflect on the humility and love required to live out God’s Kingdom here on earth.
