Let the Children Come: The Place of Children in Worship


Listen Later

Discover the true meaning of grace, inclusion, and receiving God's gifts in this inspiring Reformation sermon from First Lutheran Church. Pastor Huenink explores Jesus’ command to “Let the children come to me” and connects it to Martin Luther’s rediscovery of a faith centered on receiving—rather than earning—salvation. Learn how infants, children, and tax collectors in the Gospel are powerful examples of God’s unconditional love and how the church is called to welcome the lowliest among us.
