Tailgate Season-Faith Like a Child

Sep 6, 2026    Pastor Matthew Schultz

What does it actually mean to have childlike faith? Not childish faith, but the kind of quiet, settled trust that a young child has when they know a loving parent is nearby. Drawing from Psalm 131, where David compares his soul to a weaned child resting in the presence of God, we explore a picture of faith that is less about anxious striving and more about confident trust. The weaned child has learned through experience that their needs will be met, not through screaming and demanding, but through simply resting in the nearness of the one who provides. This is the faith we are called to, one that shifts our gaze away from the problem and toward the one who holds the solution. As we walk through the pressures, uncertainties, and burdens of everyday life, this message invites us to rediscover what it means to run to our heavenly Father the way a child runs to a parent on the playground.
