Mother’s Day: Women Are... - Audio

Hope Fellowship Church May 12-24, 2019 ========== Mother's Day: Women Are... ========== Matthew 6:22-23

 "The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you 

is darkness, how great is the darkness!" • Your whole body will be full 
of light… • Your whole body will be full 
of darkness… A bad eye is an eye that cannot see the power of grace or the beauty of generosity. The win on Mother’s Day for your soul is not to receive honor but to give honor. 1. Women are Highly Influential. Negative Influence Mark 6:21-25

 But an opportunity came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his nobles and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee. 22 For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased 

Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you." 23 And he vowed to her, "Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom." 
24 And she went out and said to head her mother, "For what should I ask?" And she said, "The head of John the Baptist." 25 And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the of John the Baptist on a platter.” Positive Influence 2 Timothy 1:2-5

 To Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. 3 I thank God whom I serve, as did my ancestors, with a clear conscience, as I remember you constantly in my prayers night and day. 4 As I remember your tears, I long to see you, that I may be filled with joy. 5 I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well. 2. Women are noticeable Ministry Models. Titus 2:2-8

 Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. 6 Likewise, urge the younger men to be self-controlled. 7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. Titus 2:5

 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, (involved in the discipleship process in your home) KIND, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled. Proverbs 1:8 

Hear, my son, your father's instruction, and forsake not your mother's teaching, Proverbs 6:20 

My son, keep your father's commandment, and forsake not your mother's teaching. Proverbs 29:15

 The rod and reproof give wisdom, but a child left to himself brings shame to his mother. Women are vital and imperative to the life of a healthy church. “Greatness is not in where we stand but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it—but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor.” 
-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.
