Fresh Love Series - Part 52 • Luke 18:15-43 • Pastor Rick Brown at Dayspring Church in Star, Idaho

What does it mean to have a childlike faith? Jesus declared that we cannot enter God's kingdom without it, but this doesn't mean abandoning wisdom or becoming naive—rather, it means cultivating the open-hearted trust and dependence that characterizes a child's relationship with a loving parent. Christ calls us to be "wise as serpents but innocent as doves," combining spiritual discernment with pure-hearted trust in Him alone, not in riches or earthly security.

Like little children, we must practice stepping out in faith knowing that our heavenly Father is walking beside us. In this passage of Luke, we see this contrast between the humble dependence of children whom Jesus welcomed, and the rich young ruler who couldn't surrender his earthly treasures—showing us that true closeness with Jesus comes not from human wisdom but from childlike trust in our Savior's power and love.
