Sermon Notes
What the Bible Has to Say about Moms
Mother’s Day Weekend 2021
TRUTH #1 – MOTHERHOOD IS A GIFT FROM GOD
“Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” – Psalm 127:3
TRUTH #2 – MOTHERHOOD IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THE WORLD
“For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.” – 1 Timothy 2:13-15
“For the hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world” – William Ross Wallace (1865 poem)
“My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All that I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual, and physical education I received from her.” – George Washington, about his mother Mary Ball Washington
“I learned more about Christianity from my mother than from all the theologians of England.” – John Wesley, about his mother Susanna Wesley
“I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well… But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.” – 2 Timothy 1:5, 3:14-15
TRUTH #3 – MOTHERHOOD IS PREPARATION FOR FUTURE MINISTRY
“Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.” – Titus 2:3-5
TRUTH #4 – MOTHERHOOD IS AN INVITATION TO BE BLESSED
“Her children rise up and call her blessed…” – Proverbs 31:28a
