Honouring Mothers
Worship Service: Childrens Talk & Adult Sermon - May 09, 2021
The 4th Commandment directs us to “honour your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which Jehovah your God is giving you.” I hope you have a chance today to do some of that honouring. But of course, this commandment goes far beyond just one day of the year and beyond just one earthly mother. More broadly we can reflect on how we honour motherhood in general, and how those qualities of motherhood come into our spiritual practices. Whether your mother is still here or has passed on, whether your relationship with your mother is deep, conflicted, or non-existent, it is possible to honour spiritual motherhood. | By Rev. Joel C Glenn | Westville, RSA

Standing Up for Her Children: A Mother's Day message
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 14, 2017
The mother of the disciples James and John approached the Lord and asked if it were possible for them to sit at His right hand and His left in His kingdom. Her understanding of the nature of the Lord's kingdom might have been faulty at the time, but, that doesn't mean that she wasn't being led by two powerful united forces from the Lord, the love of marriage, or conjugial love, and the love of children, or storge. | By Rev.

Mothers and Remains
Worship Service: Sermon only - May 14, 2017
But Zion said, "Jehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me." Can a woman forget her nursing child, and not have compassion on the son of her womb?

Honoring Mothers

The Lord teaches us to honor our mothers. Honor means to add weight to. The opposite would be to detract from. We should honor our mothers, but we should also honor our spiritual mother in the church. Video testimonial available at https://vimeo.com/165714114 | By Rev. Derrick Lumsden | Sarver, PA
