08.17.25 - Childlike Kingdom
from South Lansing Christian Church · host Eric Sheldon
Jesus flipped the cultural script by treating children, who had no power, no status, and no voice, as the blueprint for Kingdom living. He showed us that kids aren’t just future church members, but vital here and now because they teach us humility, reveal the health of our community, and remind us that we can’t earn our way into God’s Kingdom. We’ve got to be carried, just like them. So maybe instead of just teaching our students, we let them teach us too—about faith, dependence, and what it really means to follow Jesus.
