Matthew

📖 Matthew 19:13–15 – Children 🎙️ Sermon | Foundation Baptist Church | Euless, TX 📅 January 2026 In this tender and searching sermon from Matthew 19:13–15, Jesus teaches us how He views children—and what that reveals about the nature of true faith and citizenship in the kingdom of heaven. In a world that often treats children as interruptions or burdens, Christ reveals that they are precious, purposeful, and central to God’s redemptive work. This message calls parents, families, and the entire church to examine how we treat children and whether our lives lead them toward Christ—or hinder them. 🔍 Major truths from this sermon: 1️⃣ Take Children to Christ Parents brought their children to Jesus so that He might lay His hands on them and pray. This action flowed from spiritual concern, not convenience. The sermon emphasizes that parents and church members are called to actively care for the spiritual condition of children through prayer, teaching, training, and daily example. Children are born sinners in need of salvation, and their greatest need is not physical provision but spiritual instruction and dependence upon the Lord. 2️⃣ Do Not Hinder Children Going to Christ When the disciples rebuked those bringing children, Jesus was indignant. Hindering children—through neglect, poor example, hypocrisy, or indifference—is a serious offense. The sermon presses that Christians are called to be a blessing, not an obstacle. Our words, actions, priorities, and attitudes all either lead children toward Christ or push them away. 3️⃣ The Nature of Those Who Belong to the Kingdom of Heaven Is That of a Child Jesus declares that the kingdom belongs to those who are like children—humble, dependent, and trusting. Salvation does not belong to the proud or self-righteous, but to those who come to Christ with childlike dependence. This truth applies not only to children but to every person who claims to belong to Christ. This sermon ends with a personal call to self-examination: Do we humbly depend on Christ ourselves? Are we actively leading children to Him? And are we living in a way that reflects the heart of our Savior? 🙏 Subscribe for weekly expository preaching from Foundation Baptist Church 🔔 Turn on notifications to stay grounded in God’s Word
