Teaching | Infants, Faith, and the Kingdom: A Look at God's Love for Children

Pastor Nate explores the Christian understanding of children, rooted in Jesus’s teaching in Matthew 19:13–15. He emphasizes that a defining mark of Christian culture is a deep love and value for children. The discussion highlights Jesus’s welcoming posture toward children, encouraging early professions of faith and their participation in the Lord’s Supper. The episode also addresses infant baptism as a sign of God’s love and inclusion—an act of divine blessing rather than human initiative. Pastor Nate calls us to embrace this vision by seeing children as a gift and committing to nurture them in God’s love, even amid the challenges of parenting.
