    Good Mother’s Day message. Ten things things that Mary did that are good examples for us to follow in raising a godly child.

    Title: “What’s a Mother to do?” Introduction: If you want to raise godly children, let me encourage you to follow the example of Mary! There are ten things for a mother to do... 1.

    Now the question – was Mary really Jesus’ wife and mother of Sarah, the child Jesus supposedly fathered to establish a royal bloodline to rule the earth?

    Many women were also there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Jesus from Galilee and had provided for him. Matthew 27:55 (NRSVA) The DaVinci Code movie will be released this week. The fact that it coincides with Mother’s Day does not surprise me. Part of the conspiracy theory of ...read more

    Service As Worship Series

    Martha was not a whiner, or unspiritual when she asked Jesus to tell Mary to help. She was worshiping Jesus in her worship language... service.

    Multi-lingual Worship Luke 10:38-42 This past week, I was reading about a family. It is a family in the Bible… Mary, Martha and Lazarus. You remember they were the family Jesus stayed with whenever he came to Jerusalem. As I was thinking about that family, I realized they were a great picture of ...read more

    based on 19 ratings
     | 2,250 views

    This message looks at the cost to Mary of bearing Jesus (in terms of scandal and reputation) and then asks what the cost might be for us to obey God.

    - just read vv. 1-2 to open sermon. - only 4 women (besides Mary) are mentioned in this genealogy and they aren’t the big names of the O.T. WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE INCLUSION OF THESE WOMEN? - Three of the four of them were associated with sexual sin. - v. 3 - Tamar (dressed as ...read more

    I use a rubber band and an extension cord to illustrate how Jesus stretched Mary and Martha’s faith for their brother’s healing.

    LORD, STRETCH OUR FAITH! By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com I did this lesson in two parts, it could be done in one part, just move quickly from point to point. I have a huge rubber band and we discuss the flexibility and stretch that the rubber band has. 1. The rubber band has a ...read more

    Wisdom lies in knowing when to be busy and when to be reflective. Both Martha and Mary wanted the affirmation of Jesus. But it always comes by grace alone.

    Author Sam Keen, in his provocative little book called Apology for Wonder, tells us the lesson he learned as young boy swimming in the Indian River inlet on the Delaware coast. Keen says that swimming there was very tricky, because the outgoing waters from the bay met the incoming tides waves from ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 4,755 views

    The anointing of the Lord by Mary was an act that was to be remembered, which affected everyone around, and was an evidence of her love. She gave her best to the Lord.

    ANOINTING THE LORD John 12:1-8 1 Six days before the Passover, Jesus arrived at Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus’ honour. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint ...read more

    A Painful Privilege

     | 5,731 views

    Motherhood for Mary was a painful privilege. It was a privilege for her to be chosen to bear the Son of God, but so very painful to have to witness his death.

    A Painful Privilege I Thessalonians 5:16-24 Luke 1:46-55 Advent 3 December 11, 2005 I read a very interesting comment about motherhood the other day. One commentator said that motherhood is a painful privilege. I guess that it is easy for me to say, being a man, but I like that. A painful ...read more

    As Mary poured costly nard over the feet of Jesus, so the Church sings its love song to the Bridegroom sacrificed for our sins.

    Monday of Holy Week 18 April 2011 Spirit of the Liturgy Mary loved her brother, Lazarus. When he took ill, she and Martha immediately sent word to Jesus, trusting that He would come and cure Lazarus. She waited, and waited, and watched her brother get progressively worse.

    In front of Mary was a tomb lifeless and foreboding, a scene of death. As she turned around a whole new scene developed around the character of the Gardener.

    We live in uncertain times – Droughts, bushfires and now a dreaded pestilence! • Isn’t it amazing how quickly our priorities change when events like this occur? • Instead of striving for that new job, that new house, that new car, that new outfit, suddenly simple things like toilet paper takes on ...read more

    God took those pottery shards and put together, in the end, a beautiful mosaic, our Gospel tells us, of Joseph, Mary and Jesus.

    December 17 of the 3rd Week in Advent 2020 Today’s Gospel makes no sense unless we know something about the history of God’s relationship with the chosen people, Israel. Genealogies in Scripture always mean more than we modern Americans understand. They always point in some way to the Lord, and ...read more

    Mary was not a sinless saint. She was a meddling mom. But did that make her a bad mother? Or did it make her a better witness for Christ?
