Mother's Day Sermon 2010

In everything that you’ve needed to know, somewhere along the line a mom probably taught you. Mothers taught us LOGIC: "If you fall off that swing and break your neck, you can’t go to the store with me," as well as, "If everyone else jumped off a cliff would you do it too?" Mothers taught us MEDICINE: "If you don’t stop crossing your eyes, they’re going to freeze that way." Mothers taught us TO THINK AHEAD: "If you don’t pass your spelling test, you’ll never get a good job!" Mothers taught us TO MEET A CHALLENGE: "What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you...... Don’t talk back to me!" HUMOR: "When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me." BECOME AN ADULT: "If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up. GENETICS: "You are just like your father!" ROOTS: "Do you think you were born in a barn?" WISDOM of AGE: "When you get to be my age, you will understand," or, "I will explain it all when you get older." ANTICIPATION: "Just wait until your father gets home." RECEIVING: “You are going to get it when I get you home.” The all time favorite thing mothers taught us, JUSTICE: "One day you will have kids, and I hope they turn out just like you. Then you’ll see what it’s like! I can’t wait!"

Eunice was Timothy’s mother, She was the wife of a pagan Greek; She was a “Jewish woman who was a believer” Lois was Eunice's Mother and Timothy's Grandmother.
Eunice taught her son Scriptures “from childhood” (2 Tm 3:15). Eunice, Greek Εὐνίκη Euníkē; It's a feminine proper noun. Meaning "happily victorious". Mother's were singing "Victory is mine" before the song ever was written or recorded. Lois, Greek, Agreeable; desirable, she's described as a "Good" woman. It is right therefore to connect this home training of Timothy in the fear of God, with his conversion to the gospel. The Apostle Paul loved Timothy as if he were his own son. He writes to him, in verse 5 "I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 2 Timothy 1:5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.
Mothers Have a Sincere Faith
Mothers Have Stable Faith,
Mothers Have A Stable Faith
“The faith of my mother stirs my soul!”
“Nobody can pray like my mother can!”
“Nobody can stir the heart of God like my mother can.”
