Title: THERE'S NOBODY LIKE MOMMA!
Author: Dr. Darrow Perkins
Text: Matthew 15:21-28
A Sermon Preached by the Rev. Dr. Darrow Perkins, Jr., Th.D., D.Min.
Pastor of the Mesa View Baptist Church of Poway, CA
On the Occasion of Mother's Day
INTRODUCTION: We all have many relationships in our lives, both now and in the past. We've met many people who have benefitted us, pleased us, delighted us, and some who have also brought a measure of disappointment as well. These relationships have all been based on our mutual agreement and understanding as to how we will deal with one another, help one another, put up with each other, and do our best to be there for one another. As a result of these relationships, we have been afforded the opportunity to compare them and identify the ones that have been the most and least rewarding for us.
Henry Blackaby talks about the fact that God pursues a love relationship with us. This relationship is initiated by God and is for our benefit overall; however, God wants to be in such a relationship with us that it surpasses all other relationships in our lives. He writes, "God Himself pursues a love relationship with you. He is the One who takes the initiative to bring you into this kind of relationship. He created you for a love relationship with Himself. That is the very purpose of your life. This love relationship can and should be real and personal to you."
That for me, sounds a lot like how a mother works to take care of her family and her household; she takes the initiative to get it together and does what she needs to do to keep it together. She understands that it takes a special love and desire to make the house a home and a special ability to ensure it remains that way. Knowing that there will be obstacles to deal with, she takes the steps necessary to handle them appropriately for the good of the entire household. Again, I say...There's Nobody Like Momma!!
