A Mother's Influence
by Brad Whitt
I want you to take your Bible's now this morning and I want you to be finding your place at 2nd Timothy chapter 1 if you would. 2nd Timothy chapter 1, and we're going to be focusing really on one verse this morning, verse number 5, and I want to talk to you for a few minutes here this morning about ''A Mother's Influence.'' ILLUS: Abraham Lincoln said, ''No one is poor who had a godly mother.'' He went on to say, ''I remember my mother's prayers, and they have followed me; they have clung to me all my life. All that I am and hope to be I owe to my angel mother.'' A mother's influence. We're here this morning to...
Building a Foundation for Your Family (1 of 6)
by Scott Maze
Amy Chua made The New York Times bestseller list in 2011 for her book, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother. Chua is a mother of two girls, Sophia and Lulu. She is also a law professor at Yale Law School and is married to another professor at Yale Law School. Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is a memoir of her journey in being a strict parent and by strict, she is in a category by herself. ''A lot of people wonder how Chinese parents raise such stereotypically successful kids. They wonder what these parents do to produce so many math whizzes and music prodigies, what it's like inside the family, and whether they could do it...
Raising Eagles: A Mother's Day Sermon
by Zach Terry
Those of you who are mothers I want you to think back with me for a moment to that time when you first realized that you were going to be a mom. For us, it was the sonogram...as the outline of my daughter's head got clearer and clear.... As I saw that tiny heart beating as if to scream out... LIFE AS YOU KNOW IT IS OVER!!!! Julie was officially a mom. For her...Some things came instinctively, caring for the newborn, how to hold the baby... but what really scared us was questions like, ''What are we going to do when they learn how to walk??? Or even worse, what will we do when they learn how to drive!?!'' Being a parent...
Today Is Mother's Day
by Daniel Rodgers
1. As I thought about the message this morning, I thought, what can I say about mothers that has not already been said many times before? a. The answer is, I doubt seriously there is anything I can say that would be new to you or would be something you have not heard before. 2. There will be many messages delivered this morning about the virtuous and godly mother of Proverbs: ''Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her'' (Proverbs 31:10, 28). 3. No doubt the story of Jochebed will be repeated from many pulpits...
Gaze of a Godly Mother
by Robert Dawson
One husband, who felt the size of the gift was not important, wrote this poem to his wife. M - is for the mink coat you want O - is for the opal ring you crave T - is for the tiny sports care you'd love H - is for the hat that makes you rave E - is for the earrings you'd admire R - is for the rug on which you'd tread Put them all together and they spell bankrupt, so I'm giving you this handkerchief instead. On this Mother's Day I hope your family is a little more generous and loving in their actions than that. That poem uses a literary device known as an acrostic. Each letter of a word is used to form the basis or beginning of another word...
What to Give Your Mother on Mother's Day
by Stan Coffey
Jesus spoke seven times while He was upon the cross. His first word was a prayer to God, asking Him to forgive His enemies. His second word was a promise to the dying thief. His third word was to His mother and to John, the beloved disciple. To his mother He says, ''Behold thy son,'' and to John He says, ''Behold thy Mother.'' Let us picture the scene for a moment. Three heavy-laden crosses stand upon Calvary's hill. Jesus, the Son of God hangs upon the central cross. The mob jeers, the soldiers gamble, the religious leaders rejoice, and Jesus looks down and sees His mother standing near the cross. By her side is...
Being a Modern Day Mother
by Jim Perdue
I honestly believe that I have the second greatest job in the world. I mean, for me, there is nothing else that I could imagine myself doing. I love being a pastor. I know that God created me to be a pastor. It's a shame, but I'll never have an opportunity to have the greatest job in the whole world. It will never happen; because the greatest, most important job in the whole world is being a mother. Now, I understand the dangers of speaking on a topic with which I have little first-hand experience. But, I have had a mother all of my life and now I am married to a mother of four. And all I know about motherhood I learned from...
Things Our Mothers Taught Us
by Joe Alain
There are many things that our mothers have taught us. In 1 Samuel chapter 1 we find the story of a woman, a mother named Hannah. There are some important things that Hannah, a godly mother teaches us. This ordinary woman is an example of a great woman and a godly mother in the Old Testament. What does Hannah this godly mother teach us? What would Hannah tell us if we could ask her about her testimony, her story, her walk with God? First, Hannah might say to us...1. Bring Your Burdens to the Lord Hannah was a woman who had a burden. Hannah was one of two wives of a man named Elkanah. Elkanah's wife...
Mother's Day in Heaven
by Ken Trivette
Anna M. Jarvis first suggested the national observance of an annual day honoring all mothers because she had loved her own mother so dearly. At a memorial service for her mother on May 10, 1908, Miss Jarvis gave a carnation (her mother's favorite flower) to each person who attended. Within the next few years, the idea of a day to honor mothers gained popularity, and Mother's Day was observed in a number of large cities in the U.S. On May 9, 1914, by an act of Congress, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the second Sunday in May as Mother's Day. He established the day as a time for ''public expression...
A Mother's Wages: A Mother's Day Sermon
by Jerry Vines
Mother's Day is one of the most special days in all of the year. We are told there are more telephone calls made on Mother's Day than any other time of the year. If you haven't called your mom yet, I want to encourage you to do so. I went to the grocery story yesterday to pick up some bananas and there was a card shop near by and I just saw a constant stream of rough looking boys running into that card shop and I knew exactly what they were doing. They were all getting cards for their mothers. Mother's Day is a very special day. It is a day when we remember our mothers. We give her gifts and phone calls. I heard about a wealthy son...
Honor Your Father and Mother
by Mike Stone
I heard about a kids' SS class where they'd been learning the Ten Commandments. The teacher asked if someone could quote one of the commandments. Little Johnny got the commandment on coveting and adultery completely confused and said, ''Thou shalt not uncover thy neighbor's wife.'' He actually wasn't too far off base!!! But today's commandment is not about adultery or coveting. It's about the family. Specifically, it's about your relationship to your parents. 1. An ordinance to examine The command itself is only 5 words in the NKJV. Yet it contains a fundamental building block for the family, the society and...
Superwoman! A Mother's Day Sermon
by Joe Alain
Mary and Martha were two sisters who were as different as night and day. Martha was the picture of the perfect hostess. She loved to entertain company; of course, as long as they called in advance. If they had such magazines in her day, Martha certainly would have been a subscriber to Southern (Bethany) Living and Better Homes and Gardens. The Bible does not tell us, but perhaps her last name was even Stewart! Martha is a perfectionist and yet, she is her own worst enemy. She sets expectations that she can never meet. She is never able to completely rest and be content. Life for Martha is always an unfinished...
The Power of a Praying Mother
by Mike Stone
Woodrow Wilson said on May 9, 1914 when congress declared the 2nd Sunday in May as Mother's Day. President Wilson said that this day has been set aside as a time for ''public expression of our love and reverence for the mothers of our country.'' It is perfectly consistent to honor God and honor mothers at the same time. In fact, one of God's 10 commandments deals with this. Whether in Exodus 20 or Ephesians 6, we are commanded to ''Honor your father and mother which is the first commandment with promise. (Ephesians 6:2).'' So, the OT and NT alike command children to honor and bless their mothers. But in...
A Model Mother (2 of 7)
by Jim Perdue
I want you to take God's precious and powerful Word on this Mother's Day morning and I want you to be finding your place at 2nd Timothy chapter 1 if you will. And while you're finding your place there I want to make this one statement as a way of introduction - you know, a lot of times we talk about the faith of our fathers (there's even an old hymn by that title), and I do believe that men are to be the spiritual leaders of their homes. As I've said from this pulpit on numerous occasions the husband is to be the pastor, protector and provider for his home. But if we were to be real honest this morning, more times that not, it's not...
Parenting On Mission
by Josh Malone
Happy Mother's Day! Mothers play a critical role in the spiritual formation of their children, as do fathers. -- You are the key faith influencers in the lives of your children. I wouldn't trade being a daddy for anything, nor would my wife trade being a mommy. - There is one thing we understand-- it is us that has to take responsibility for the spiritual investment in our children's lives. As a church, we want to come alongside and RESOURCE parents not REPLACE. This can mean many things but it means we have to equip parents. You can have the best children's ministry hour in town... but if the parents are not growing spiritually you...
God’s Surprising Work Through Mothers
by Scott Maze
Today is Mother's Day, when one-fifth of all floral purchases are made for holidays. In a day where over programmed kids and hectic family schedules dominate, mothers are incredibly powerful not in the weightlifting sense of that word, but in the areas of trust, encouragement, hope, and courage. You are incredibly powerful in the life of your husband. You are an amazing influence in the lives of your children, adult or still at home. In fact, I would go so far as to say that for the average man, no one's opinion of him matters as much as his wife's. Mothers, I have one point this morning - in hopeless times God works...
A Mother's Faith
by Daniel Rodgers
Today is Mother's Day—a time to talk about moms and their kids. There is nothing that can compare with the relationship a mother has with her little boy or girl. Dads love their children just as much, but they always seem so busy with outside things. And when they do take the time, they like to do the big stuff—go to the zoo, take the son fishing or hunting or teach him how to fly a kite, but mothers do all the little insignificant things like; give birth, change diapers, wash their clothes, give them a bath, feed them, take them to school, sit by their bed when they are sick, place Band-Aids on the knees when they fall, and dry their...
The Influence of a Godly Mother
by Ernest Easley
As you are turning to 1 Samuel 1, let me say that on May 9, 1941 the United States Congress under the leadership of President Woodrow Wilson did a good thing! They proclaimed the second Sunday in May as ''Mother's Day'' for ''public expression of our love and reverence for the Mothers of our country.'' Thank God for our Mothers! For without them, we wouldn't be here today! It's true, a Mother's job is never done! How wonderful it would be for Mothers if they could collect time-and-a-half for overtime. And especially for single Mom's. I believe they have the hardest job in America. It's hard enough where there is...
A Mother's Pursuit of Christ
by Zach Terry
We are in a series of messages called, "Angels and Demon", so far we have learned about the fall of Satan and Demons and last week we learned how to combat their mainline of attacks against us. Now we come to part III and it's Mother's Day. MOTHER'S DAY - When some of the guys realized that we were in a series on demons and it was also mother's day, they suggested that this is the perfect opportunity to preach a sermon on mother's in law. But I didn't find that humorous at all, so I took another route. INTRODUCTION: One of my favorite things about being a parent is tucking my kids in at night. A couple of years ago...
Mother Knows Best
by Keith Krell
Today, I'm going to preach a Mother's Day sermon, and some of you may be dreading it. You'd just as soon do eight loads of laundry or get a root canal than listen to a Mother's Day sermon! One group says, ''I'm tired of getting hammered on Mother's Day with impossible expectations. I'd like to be the ideal mom, but I'm too busy raising children!'' A second group says, ''I'm a woman without children. Mother's Day is hard for me. It's awkward because I feel like I don't fit.'' To women in both groups, I want to say, ''Relax! I don't want to add to the pressure or pain that comes from being a mom or not being a mom. I want to encourage...
