Training For The Thrill – The Kiddie Rides Of Faith

Pastor Kevin Rutledge - 8/10/2025 10:00 AM

Not every part of a theme park is high-speed and high-stakes. In fact, the kiddie rides—often overlooked—are where courage is born. These smaller rides aren’t just filler; they’re training grounds, helping young riders build the confidence and trust needed for bigger thrills ahead.

In this week’s message, we’ll explore how the same is true in our faith. God often starts with small steps—simple acts of obedience, trust, and daily grace—that strengthen our “faith muscle” over time. As we grow, those early steps prepare us to face greater challenges with courage and joy.
