Mother's Day

May 10, 2026    Pastor Allen Bates

This message reveals an important truth about Mother's Day and family relationships: even the best mothers are human and imperfect. Ephesians 6 reminds us that honoring our parents isn’t about their perfection, and that this honor leads to a fulfilling life. Mary, chosen by God, lost Jesus for three days, showing us to extend grace to ourselves and our mothers. Honoring our parents means acknowledging their humanity and respecting them despite flaws. This Mother’s Day, let’s celebrate the real women who mothered us, embracing their struggles alongside our own, allowing us to live well and long.
