Listen "Dreaming Reckless: For The Future | September 28, 2025"
Episode Synopsis
The final sermon begins by reiterating the question, "What if we made it easy for people to meet Jesus?" and addresses the challenge of "busyness" in culture. It highlights Jesus's compassion in Matthew 14:13-14, where he ministered to crowds despite his own grief and need for solitude. A significant portion is dedicated to Jesus's welcoming of children (Matthew 19:14), contrasting their "unburdened, uncalculated, reckless faith" with adult complexities. The sermon poses the question, "What is the faith of the next generation worth?" and answers, "It's worth EVERYTHING." This leads into the story of the rich young man (Matthew 19:16-22), who "came with everything and walked away with nothing" because he was unwilling to be "recklessly invested." The message calls for the church to be "recklessly invested" in young people, prioritizing their spiritual well-being over personal comfort and busyness. The call to action is to "Serve" in the church's student and kids' ministries, encouraging adults to be authentic mentors and make time to "invest in their lives and model a faith that's not just a belief, but a way of living." The overarching theme is that "dreaming reckless" involves "investing big," particularly in the next generation.
