Like a Child: Learning Like a Child

What if the secret to growing deeper in our faith is not gaining more knowledge, but actually unlearning the comfort of thinking we already have it all figured out? This message takes a fascinating look at how children absorb the world around them with open curiosity, and challenges us to ask whether we approach Jesus with that same willingness to learn. Drawing from Matthew 11, where Jesus praises the Father for hiding spiritual truth from the wise and intelligent and revealing it to little children, we are confronted with a humbling question: have we become so settled in our spiritual routines that the words of Jesus no longer move us or change us? The psychological concept of proactive interference, the mental habit of dismissing new information because we assume we already know it, turns out to be not just a learning barrier but a spiritual one. When we come to Scripture, to worship, to prayer with the posture of an expert rather than a student, we risk missing what God is actually saying to us right now. This message calls us back to the childlike posture of listening, watching, and doing, and reminds us that genuine transformation begins the moment we decide we are not done learning.
