The Wild at Real Life is a Bible-based, age-appropriate, community for children from birth through 5th grade. Childhood is the most crucial time of development in a person's faith and we are committed to loving and teaching your children about God.

Whatever your child's age or personality, you can know they are being loved and taught right on their level. In today's difficult culture, we stand with you in making your family all it can be. We like to say it this way: Around here we are WILD about families and WILD about Jesus.

Week 3
BIG IDEA: Jesus is always fair.
This is week three of the series called Throwback. Again, this story comes from the Book of Matthew. The parable Jesus told was about workers in a vineyard and how that was like the Kingdom of Heaven. The early shift workers were upset that individuals who put in fewer hours were paid the same as others who started earlier in the day. The idea that someone who worked for an hour should be paid the same as someone who worked all day seems unfair. However, Jesus wanted people to think differently about fairness. What we consider to be fair or unfair does not determine how God gives. It's possible that someone else will receive more from God than we do, yet He is still sufficiently kind to give us what we need. However, this parable is not that God gives us things; rather, it is about how God invites everyone to know Him. Fairness, according to God, is granting each person an equal number of opportunities to encounter God's love.
Matthew 20:1-16
John 10:11-18

THROWBACK: A 4-Week Series from the Gospels on Jesus' Teachings

SERIES OVERVIEW
From retro toys to fashion trends, we all love a good throwback. (Especially for grown-ups because it reminds us of being young again.) There are things that remind us of a moment in time, but other things feel timeless and like they’re always in style. In this four-week series, kids will travel through the decades and see that the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels are always trending. As we hear from Jesus, we’ll see it’s always good to be humble, we can always forgive, Jesus is always fair, and love always needs action.
