Sunday Morning Message - "The Proverbs 31 Woman"

In this special Mother's Day message titled, "The Proverbs 31 Woman", from Sunday, May 11, Pastor Kyle shares the key to understanding Proverbs 31 is recognizing that it's not about being perfect in every area at all times. Instead, it's about the entire impact of a woman's life as she walks with God through different seasons. Women don't have to do it all, all the time. Instead, focus on cooperating with God's grace in each season of life, knowing that over time, these efforts will add up to create a beautiful legacy.
