On this Mother’s Day, we are blessed to honor our mothers who will be there in attendance. We also get excited about calling our moms who aren’t nearby. The extra blessing some of us enjoyed was an example of faith first seen in our mothers. Of course, we know that isn’t everyone’s story. That is why it is so important for the moms of NHCC to recognize that they have an extra responsibility to be an example of faith to the younger Christians in our church. ————— Obviously, faith is not simply limited to the moms of the church, but on this Sunday, please remember as we honor our moms, we collectively worship the Father for He is certainly worthy of our praise. ————— Join us this Sunday as Frank shares a message that honors the faith of our mothers, but more importantly, worships that one in whom they have their faith.
Episode Notes
Big Idea: Mothers often make risky decisions that require faith…
God bless Mothers.
Faith: Belief, trust, and obedience.
Hebrews 11:1, Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
1. Courageous Faith.
Exodus 2:2, The woman conceived and bore a son, and when she saw that he was a fine child, she hid him three months.
- Sometimes faith calls us to do risky things.
Psalm 27:14, Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!
2. Sensible Faith.
Exodus 2:3-4, When she could hide him no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank. And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
- Sometimes faith calls us to do thoughtful things.
2nd Timothy 1:7, …for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.
3. Rewarded Faith.
Exodus 2:8-9, And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Go.” So the girl went and called the child's mother. And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages.” So the woman took the child and nursed him.
- Sometimes faith calls us to blindly trust.
Hebrews 11:23, By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king's edict.
Next Step: Do what you can…. And trust God with what you can’t.
