Faith of Our Mothers

Mary

July 21, 2024

Though most likely only a teenager, Mary was selected by God to be the first embodiment of the gospel. This morning we have “Christmas in July” and learn from the faithful mother of Christ.

Esther

July 14, 2024 • Annette Sharp

This morning we visit the queen who chose a path of faithfulness for “such a time as this.” Join us as we explore this rich story and how it can empower us to do hard things.

Ruth

July 7, 2024 • Eddie Sharp

Though a short and simple book in the First Testament, Ruth is a foundational witness to faithfulness as she refuses to abandon her mother-in-law and “finds a way to make a way” for the eventual fulfillment of God’s mission in Jesus.

Deborah

June 30, 2024 • Becky Burroughs

Today we join the judges, early rulers of Israel, and take note of the mighty Deborah. Deborah is not only leading but singing as she leads Israel into rest for forty years.

Rahab

June 23, 2024 • Mark Hooper

Taking a cue from Matthew’s genealogy, we notice an unlikely descendant of Jesus and wonder aloud how God uses the most unlikely women to accomplish a mission.

Miriam

June 16, 2024 • Kyle Hooper

Come and listen to the joyful celebration as Egypt is led across the Red Sea into the promised land. This morning we notice who is leading the nation in worship and how we might join in her song of victory.

Shiphrah and Puah

June 9, 2024 • Pat Bills

Join us as we explore a crucial moment in the story of Israel’s hardship in Egypt. While the king of Egypt made a sinister command, the Hebrew midwives spoke truth to power and made way for the birth of Moses and the deliverance of a nation.

Sarah

June 2, 2024 • Pat Bills

This morning we venture back into Genesis and take notice of the faithfulness of Sarah. We look at her abiding trust in the midst of laughable circumstances while providing the doorway for God’s mission to “all the families” on the earth.

Faithful Living

May 26, 2024 • Pat Bills

We begin a new series by receiving a word of encouragement from our mentor, Paul, who reminds his young protege, Timothy, of his faithfulness. But Timothy’s faithfulness was not grounded in his own efforts but in the story of the faithful service of a mother and grandmother. Join us as we begin to explore the value and importance of the “faith of our mothers” and remind ourselves of God’s witness through the voice of women throughout the story of scripture.
