The sermon centered on the idea that motherhood is not just a natural role but a divine calling, designed to form the next generation in godliness. Pastor Bryan emphasized that this calling involves training children intentionally, teaching them personally based on their unique design, and trusting God completely for the outcomes. We were challenged to see motherhood as sacred and to embrace the lasting influence of a mother’s love, words, and presence. Even for those without children, the call to invest in younger lives spiritually was highlighted. In the end, the message pointed us toward the ultimate parent—God Himself—who invites everyone into His family, regardless of their past.

How would seeing parenting as a sacred act reshape your daily interactions with your children or others?
Why do we sometimes try to shape our children into our own image, and how can we shift that mindset?
What does it look like to move from passive parenting to active parenting in your context?
Pastor Bryan shared a heartfelt Mother’s Day message centered on the sacred responsibility of motherhood. We were reminded that God has entrusted mothers with the powerful task of shaping their children’s hearts and lives in truth, love, and purpose. Pastor Bryan humorously opened with 'momma' jokes to lighten the mood but quickly shifted to emphasize the eternal impact of a mother’s influence. He highlighted Proverbs 22:6 and encouraged intentional and personal parenting that reflects God’s wisdom. Moms were uplifted with the reminder that even if their efforts don’t yield immediate results, their faithfulness leaves a lasting imprint. The message closed with a broader spiritual invitation, affirming that God's love is deeper and more faithful than even the best parenting.
Pray and ask God for guidance on how to train your children with intentionality and love each day.
Let go of control and trust God with the future of your children, knowing your faithfulness is not in vain.
