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 2
BIG IDEA: We can always forgive.
This is week two of the series called Throwback. The story that will be shared this week will be about the Unforgiving Servant and will come from the Book of Matthew. Jesus was teaching His disciples that they need to always forgive others. Jesus told them the story about a servant who had a huge debt that he would never be able to repay no matter how hard he worked for the rest of his life. However, he received mercy from the king. And while he was forgiven for this impossibly large amount, he did not reciprocate this to someone for a far smaller debt. When we forgive others, it's like a big weight has been lifted off of our shoulders. God forgives each and everyone one of us for our mistakes. God offers us another opportunity to improve. God always wants us to forgive others.
Matthew 18:23-35
1 John 3:1-7

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.
