This Mother's Day, we're celebrating the strength, resilience, and dedication of moms — both in life and in fitness. In this episode, we dive into how motherhood mirrors the mindset of a committed fitness journey, how moms can prioritize their health, and how they inspire the next generation through movement. Whether you're a mom or just love one, this episode is all about honoring the strongest people we know — inside and out.

Too many believers today are simply DRESSED to IMPRESS, & DRESSED for SUCCESS, but rarely DRESSED for the BATTLE. This Mother's Day we are going to teach you how to fight! CONNECT: Text “BRBELONG” to 651-419-4409 DONATE: bethelsrock.org/give LEARN MORE: bethelsrock.org NEW SERMONS | EVERY SUNDAY

This Mother's Day, Shane Willard brings a powerful message on Pentecost—not just a moment in history, but the beginning of something new: God's Spirit dwelling in people, not buildings.Through Acts 2 and rich Old Testament imagery, we see that God's presence now lives in us. The wind, fire, and voices mark a new kind of temple—a community of love, peace, and blessing for all people, everywhere.

Sermon Summary:In our "Rooted" series this Mother's Day, we explored what it means to be rooted in love through 1 Corinthians 13. We acknowledged both the celebration of motherhood and the pain this day can bring for many, recognizing that being rooted in love offers strength even in difficult seasons.We examined how the Corinthian church valued impressive spiritual gifts, knowledge, and eloquence – much like our culture today – but Paul challenged this value system, declaring that without love, these accomplishments amount to nothing. Paul's definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 culminates with "love never ends" – a truth that resonates with our deepest intuitions about meaning and purpose.We reflected on Ephesians 3:17-19, where Paul prays for believers to be "rooted and grounded in love" and to know "the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge." This reveals two different ways of knowing – intellectual understanding versus experiential relationship.The sermon highlighted how love alone endures eternally. While our beliefs, gifts, and achievements will pass away, only what is done in love lasts forever. When our actions are motivated by love, they create eternal ripples that extend beyond our lives.We considered how church exists to create bigger ripples of love together than we could individually. When we gather as the body of Christ, we participate in something that doesn't end.Finally, we explored how God's love is always present in the now – not holding our past against us or withholding love because of our future. Like Jesus weeping with Mary and Martha before raising Lazarus, God's love meets us in our present moment while knowing our entire story.This Mother's Day, we're reminded that whatever our experience – whether celebrating or grieving – love always has the final word.URF WEBSITE: ➤ http://www.urfellowship.comSOCIALS: ➤ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urfellowship/➤ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/urfellowship

This Mother's Day, three mothers shared heartfelt messages about drawing closer to the Lord, placing their trust in Him, and embracing a childlike faith. May 11th, 2025

This Mother's Day, we honor the incredible strength and love of the mothers who shape our lives for the better. Those of us lucky enough to have them, or other nurturing parental figures, are truly blessed. But remember, not all maternal bonds are pure. What you think is love may be something darker, something that lingers long after the last breath. Proceed with caution, for not all mothers are what they appear, some don't live up to the title, if they're even living at all.

This Mother's Day, we'll explore the heart of motherhood through the lens of John 17, where Jesus said, “For their sakes I sanctify Myself.” In moments of fear, frustration, or uncertainty, God invites us to parent from a place of peace, faith, and purpose—seeing our children through their identity in Christ and speaking life into their future. Be encouraged and equipped to walk in your calling with renewed confidence, knowing your prayers and presence matter deeply.

In Part 2 (of 2) of our series on John 20, we return to the locked room where Jesus appears not in triumph, but in tenderness. This Mother's Day, we reflect on Thomas—the twin, the questioner, the one who names what so many of us carry: Unless I touch the wounds, I cannot believe. But Jesus does not shame him. Instead, Christ invites him—invites us—into the liminal space where wounds meet grace.Through Thomas's story, and through the witness of all who mother from their own woundedness, we glimpse a deeper truth: that faith can emerge from doubt, that healing begins with touch, and that even our broken places can become sacred portals. Blessed are those who mother, who mend, who believe without seeing—and who dare to reach for peace. Message by Pastor Jason Storbakken.

In a world full of conflict, pride, and offense—what does it look like to extend grace when people least deserve it?This Mother's Day, Pastor David looks at the powerful story of Abigail in 1 Samuel 25. While her husband Nabal acted like a fool, Abigail showed courage, wisdom, and grace. She stepped in, took responsibility for what wasn't hers, and spoke life when death was on the horizon. Her actions saved lives—and changed hearts.Grace isn't passive—it's bold. It goes first. It absorbs offense. It chooses peace. And it calls out the best in others when they're at their worst.To learn more about Cross Points, check out our website:http://crosspointschurch.comTo stay up to date, check out our social media:Instagram: @crosspointskcFacebook: Cross Points ChurchYoutube: CrossPointsKCTwitter: @crosspointskc

Through heartfelt stories, biblical insight, and encouragement, it challenges us to believe God is beside us and to trust His timing in every season.

This Mother's Day we spent talking about something mothers often bring to our lives - JOY! We know that the ultimate joy comes from the Lord, no matter the circumstances we may face in life, we can still have GREAT JOY. – Listen to the message here!

In a culture that celebrates open-mindedness and endless spiritual options, the claim of Jesus is strikingly clear: “I am the door.” Not a door. The door. The only access point to salvation, to eternal life, and to joy that doesn't fade. Religion can't save us. Good works can't unlock eternity. The door to Eden was closed by sin, and only Jesus can open what we lost. This Mother's Day, we'll explore the joy and hope found in the One who invites us in, not just to heaven someday, but to abundant life today. Because when you walk through the door of Christ, everything changes.

What's your one thing? In a world full of distractions, Jesus invites us to choose what matters most. This Mother's Day message dives into the story of Mary and Martha, exploring the tension between doing and being, and the power of choosing presence over performance. Join Laurie Hoyt as she calls us back to our first love, encouraging us to remember, repent, and repeat.

Have you ever noticed how the messiest, most unfiltered family photos often capture the truest moments of joy? Through the chaos of missing shoes, juice spills, and impromptu glitter projects, motherhood reveals profound spiritual truths that transform our understanding of God.This Mother's Day message explores three powerful "snapshots" from God's photo album that illuminate His heart toward us. First, we discover that love—both divine and human—is fundamentally a choice rather than a feeling. When the newborn glow fades and 3 AM feedings stretch our patience thin, parents choose love daily, mirroring God's decision to love us "while we were still sinners." This realization liberates us: since love is a choice, it remains possible even when emotions falter.The second snapshot reveals the sacred power of presence. Just as children demand our full attention ("Mom, mom, look!"), God prioritizes being present with us. We witness Jesus pausing amid a pressing crowd to acknowledge one desperate woman's touch—demonstrating that being present isn't a detour from purpose but is precisely the point. This challenges our achievement-oriented mindset, reminding us that relationship itself constitutes our primary purpose.Finally, we explore God as the ultimate provider, prepared for every circumstance yet sometimes offering protective "no's" rather than harmful "yeses." Like parents denying a toddler's request to lick the flyswatter, God's refusals often reflect perfect wisdom rather than indifference.Through practical spiritual practices like gratitude journaling, prayer of examine, and faith "scrapbooking," we can train our souls to recognize God's presence in both extraordinary and ordinary moments.

This Mother's Day, we're celebrating the unsung heroines of our faith and our lives. We'll look at Deborah, one of the nation of Israel's leaders who emerged during a crucial time to govern God's people. We'll look at how she not only broke the mold but gave all the credit to God- which is easier said than done.

This Mother's Day, Impact Church is going beyond the traditional narrative.

They open up about the challenges of infertility, the profound transformations in identity that motherhood brings, and the heartwarming journey of adoption. Whether you're a mother, hoping to be one, or simply want to understand the complexities of this role, this sermon will offer profound insights and heartfelt connection.

Motherhood often feels like a nonstop evaluation of what you do or manage in a day, especially around Mother's Day. But we are reminded that, just like Hannah, a mother's identity is rooted in being seen and loved by God—not in her endless tasks or visible results.Hannah's pivotal moment was when she opened her heart to God and was reminded of her worth, not just when her prayer was answered. This Mother's Day, discover deeper comfort and worth in God's unconditional love rather than the pressure to produce or perform.

This Mother's Day, we're reminding women to stop comparing their calling to others. You were intentionally and beautifully created by God for a unique purpose. Comparison distracts and discourages you from walking confidently in what you were made to do. True success is being faithful where God has placed you—loving your family, honoring Him, and using your voice, gifts, and story to bless others.

This Mother's Day, I sit down with the woman who raised me—my mom—for one of the most personal conversations I've ever recorded. From her childhood in rural Oregon to navigating life as a young ranch wife, to adopting four kids and ultimately raising us on her own after the sudden loss of my dad—her story is one of love, grit, and endless strength. In this episode, she reflects on motherhood, loss, traditions, and what it means to give everything for your family. I'm proud to share this with you today, and grateful for the woman who shaped so much of who I am.

This Mother's Day at CCV, we're celebrating the impact of women who live out courageous faith. With special guest Jaime Wooldridge, we'll be reminded that even in uncertainty, God's faithfulness is worth trusting 11 out of 10 times.

“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” – 2 Timothy 1:5Mother's Day invites us to reflect on the deep, often quiet influence of a mother's faith. The Apostle Paul's words to Timothy reveal that sincere faith often passes from one generation to the next through the loving guidance of mothers and grandmothers. Today, we celebrate that legacy.A Mother's Work: Beyond MeasureWhen we think about the value of moms, it's usually in terms of intangible gifts—love, wisdom, compassion, and sacrifice. These are treasures that can't be priced.But what if we did try to measure the economic value of a mother's daily work?According to Salary.com, a working mother averages 54 hours a week managing her household in addition to her job. Stay-at-home moms? They often work the equivalent of 15-hour days, seven days a week. The roles include everything from chef and nurse to financial manager, event planner, and counselor.Based on these duties, a mother's annual salary would exceed $185,000—and that's before bonuses, overtime, or hazard pay. Factoring in those extras, a stay-at-home mom could easily command over $200,000 a year. And truthfully, she's worth every penny.Still, even that figure falls short of her true worth. The value of a mother's love and faithfulness can't be calculated. It's personal. It's spiritual. It's eternal.How Scripture Calls Us to Honor MothersThe Bible doesn't just acknowledge the role of mothers—it esteems it. Proverbs 31:28 paints a moving picture of a godly woman's reward:“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”Honoring your mother starts with your words. Tell her what she means to you. Thank her for the sacrifices she has made and the ways she has reflected God's love in your life.But biblical honor doesn't end with gratitude. It matures into care, especially as our mothers age.Honoring Through Care: A Biblical MandateIn Mark 7:10–13, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for neglecting their duty to care for their parents, even though they claimed their resources were dedicated to God. Their so-called righteousness became a mask for selfishness. Jesus made it clear: caring for your parents is not optional; it's a direct expression of your devotion to God.In today's terms, honoring your mother might look like:Making time for her amid your busy scheduleOffering financial assistance or managing her needsIncluding her in decisions that affect the familyListening with patience and respectPraying for and with her regularlyThese acts aren't just thoughtful gestures—they reflect the heart of Scripture and offer a meaningful way to live out our faith in everyday life.Honoring a Legacy of FaithWhether it's your biological mom, your wife, a grandmother, or a spiritual mother who's poured into your life, this Sunday is your opportunity to show them they're not alone or forgotten.Let her know she's seen. Let her know she's loved. Let her know that her quiet faithfulness—the prayers whispered, the tears cried, the meals made, the lessons taught—isn't wasted. It is, in fact, shaping generations and pointing hearts toward Jesus.Because when a mother models faith, she's not just building a home—she's shaping eternity.This Mother's Day, let's rise up and call her blessed, not just with words, but with actions that honor God and her.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:Is Bitcoin something that someone should have in their portfolio?

In this heartfelt episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg shares a powerful message for every woman who has ever lost herself in the beautiful, brutal role of being a mum. You’ll learn: *Why losing yourself in motherhood isn’t weakness, it’s a sign you’ve been putting everyone else first for too long. *How to gently reconnect with the parts of you that have been left behind. *What it means to show up for your dreams without stepping away from your family. *How your own aliveness might be the most powerful gift you can give your children. This episode isn’t about guilt. It’s about grace. It’s about remembering the woman you were before the world called you “Mum” and realising she’s still there, waiting. This Mother’s Day, don’t just be appreciated by others. Learn how to appreciate yourself, from the inside out. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.

Elaine Welteroth had already made a name for herself as a trailblazer—breaking glass ceilings as the youngest-ever and first Black Editor-in-Chief of Teen Vogue, elevating the conversation around politics and culture in fashion media, and later stepping into new roles as a bestselling author and Project Runway judge. But it was motherhood that sparked her most personal and powerful pivot yet. In this episode, Elaine opens up about the challenges of her pregnancy journey, how discovering midwifery care changed everything, and why she launched birthFUND—an initiative aimed at tackling America’s maternal health crisis by expanding access to affirming birth care. This Mother’s Day, we celebrate the pivots that are born from love, challenge, and resilience—just like Elaine’s.
