The Amazing Mom!

May 12, 2019 • Lead Pastor Tim Moen

It was 1914 when President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother’s Day a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.
This day was set aside to honor the ladies in our families who have taken on the task of motherhood.

An honor greatly deserved!

2 Timothy 1:5 “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.”


Luke 1:26-35 “n the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth,

27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary.

28 And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!”

29 But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be.

30 And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.

31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus.

32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David,

33 and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’

34 And Mary said to the angel, ‘How will this be, since I am a virgin?’

35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God.”

The Power of SPIRIT-Mom

In Romans 16:13... Paul is sending his personal greeting to his friends in Rome. He says, effectively, “Say hi to Rufus...and to his mother who was a mother to me.”

Mark 15:21 “And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.”

Three Ways to Thrive At Being a Spiritual Mother

1️⃣ Be Lead By the Holy Spirit
God will bring people into your life that He wants you to mentor.

• Let Him lead it.
• Be available.
• It will happen naturally.

2️⃣ Love Like A Mother Loves

Whether she is a...
• biological,
• foster,
• step,
• or adoptive mom

All mothers have offered a glimpse into the “love chapter” in the Bible...

1 Corinthians 13:4-6 says, “Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

This portrait of... Perfect Love... Can be seen through these imperfect ladies in the things that they do EVERY DAY!
From...
• Their simple acts
• Their unrelenting patience
• Their profound endurance

Mothers stand as an example of the impact of love.

3️⃣ Believe In Them
There is a powerful dynamic that takes place when someone believes in us.

• Encourage them
• Call out their strengths
• Shoot straight with them
• Spend Time with them
• Give them responsibility
