It is imperative that children see and hear other kids worshipping God. Why? Because Jesus desires for them to come to Him. They are each invited to be part of the kingdom right now and they need to know that! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that kids don\u2019t have to wait to grow up to be part of His kingdom. But sometimes we forget to communicate that well to children; whether we tell them or show them they are included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children are the church of today.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jesus tells the disciples to \u2018let the children come\u2019 in Matthew 19:14<\/a>. And this message still rings true for us today. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Why<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We have the special opportunity as children\u2019s leaders, parents, and disciple-makers to inspire this generation and the next in the wonder of worship. If we truly believe there is no junior Holy Spirit, then we must recognize that our kids are Christ followers and worshippers today<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we serve children, engage them, and give them freedom to worship, we should encourage them to be bold in their worship of Jesus. We can do that by allowing them to lead in worship time, or other areas of the service. Let\u2019s be passionate and spread the message that children are the church of today\u2014not just tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And let\u2019s work to inspire them in their journey of worship and adoration. We believe in the next generation of worshippers. Our prayer is that they are inspired to be totally abandoned in praise to our King Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And what wonder comes with that! When we allow kids to celebrate Jesus with song, their praise really does change things.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t

Leading Our Children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Worship<\/a> is such a powerful way for kids to connect with the Lord. Sometimes as parents, we feel like we need to facilitate the Holy Spirit to work in their lives, but let\u2019s remember that He doesn\u2019t need us to. We are responsible for shepherding our children, and He will do the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
