Fighting for the Future
Today we'll celebrate Mother's Day by reflecting on the lesson in Nehemiah that the work of rebuilding requires diligence, and effort against outside (and sometimes internal) opposition. Famlies today are under tremendous pressure, parents are under-resourced and over-burdened, and kids right now have had their futures thrown upside down after 2020. We are all called to fight forward... to be strong and courageous on behalf of the future generation. In this message we'll speak directly to moms and maternal caregivers and aunties about the holy role of parenting, and the reassuring truth of God's protection and presence over our children.
