My sermon title today, inspired by “The Incredibles,” focuses on the real-life superhero children who walked the earth. Unlike the fictional characters in the movie, they didn’t wear masks or capes, nor did they have superpowers like invisibility or super speed. Instead, their powers were faith, compassion, and obedience. It is through their unwavering commitment to these virtues that they were able to make a profound impact on the world around them.
