Mothering for the Glory of God

Back to Message Archive

Mothers are an amazing gift from God, but mothering is something that is getting increasingly difficult in certain respects. Not in the sense of child-birthing or lugging jugs of water from the well to the house to boil it to wash clothes. In many respects modern technology has made mothering easier with epidurals, indoor plumbing, microwaves, etc. However, with the explosion of information at our fingertips with the internet being a mother has gotten harder. There are endless opinions on what being a good mother looks like and just as many hot topics that mothers have to make decisions on concerning their kids; all the way from whether or not to vaccinate your children to organice verse processed food. With all of this constantly in front of mothers it can all be overwhelming. It can become very easy for mothers to doubt if they are good mothers or are giving their child the best. Tonight we will be looking at 2 mothers who are praised in the Bible for the way their raised their son/grandson, Timothy. As we look at our 2 passages we are going to see 3 ways that you can be a mother that pleases God. If you can be this kind of mother then what else do you need? Do you need the favor of the world?  (2 Timothy 1:3-7; 3:14-15)
