In this heartfelt Mother's Day message, Pastor Lawrence explores the profound impact of motherhood through the lens of 1 Thessalonians 2. Beginning with a special child dedication ceremony, the service acknowledges children as gifts from God and emphasizes the community's role in raising children to know Christ.
The sermon examines three remarkable gifts that mothers provide: First, the gift of selfless love—a mother loves her child before birth and continues giving her very life to nurture them. Second, the gift of unceasing labor—working "night and day" without expectation of recognition or reward. Third, the gift of lasting influence—more than any other person, a mother shapes her child's character, faith, and future.
Through touching personal stories and biblical insights, Pastor PL encourages listeners to recognize the "I Owe Yous" we all carry toward our mothers. The message concludes with a beautiful prayer of blessing for all mothers, acknowledging their irreplaceable role in God's design for families and communities.
Whether you're celebrating your mother today or honoring her memory, this episode will inspire gratitude for the priceless gifts mothers give and the spiritual legacy they create.
