Mother’s Day 25 - Mother’s Day 25

SPEAKER: Pastor Charlie Riley
May 10, 2025

Message Notes

What Ingredients Are Mothers Made Of?

Answer:
God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
Answer:
They had to get their start from men’s bones. Then they mostly use stirring, I think.

What Kind Of Little Girl Was Your Mom?

Answer:
My mom has always been my mom and none of that other stuff.

Answer:
I don’t know because I wasn’t there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.

Answer:
They say she used to be nice.

If You Could Change One Thing About Your Mom, What Would It Be?

Answer:
She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I’d get rid of that.

Answer:
I’d make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
Answer:
I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on her back.

“Son in college called to tell his mother he had met ‘the one’ — the girl of his dreams. He gushed about her for many minutes, then said, ‘Actually, she reminds me a lot of you, but without the annoying parts.’”

Moms Are Special People
Mom’s got to be as insightful as a psychologist, tough as a marine corps drill instructor, gentle as a nurse. She’s got to be a labor and management negotiator. A teacher, an electrician, a plumber and a carpenter….It requires an endless supply of energy, a massive amount of patience, iron will, and recognition of the fact that if she ever gets sick, she’s got to get well before the end of the school day.

Five Undeniable Characteristics Of A Godly Mother

A Mother’s Heart

There Is Nothing On This Planet Like A Mother’s Heart!

On the third day there was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does your concern have to do with Me? My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Whatever He says to you, do it.”
John 2:1-5

A Mother’s Heart Believes In You, When No One Else Does!

The Sacrifice Of A Mother

A teacher in one of our public schools put this question to little James in the arithmetic class, “James, suppose your mother made a peach pie, and there were ten of you at the table—your mother and father and eight children—how much of the pie would you get?”

“A ninth, ma’am,” was the prompt answer. “No, no, James. Now pay attention,” said the teacher. “There are ten of you. Ten, remember. Don’t you know your fractions?” “Yes, ma’am,” was the swift reply of little James, “I know my fractions, but I know my mother, too. She’d say that she didn’t want any pie.”

A Mother’s Love Causes Her To Willingly Lay Down Her Life For Her Children

The Strength Of A Mother

Mothers Are The Hidden Strength Of The Home

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and
He took one of his ribs (tsela- beam or side), and closed up the flesh in its place. Then the rib (tsela- beam or side) which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
Gen 3:21

And it was paneled with cedar above the beams (tsela- beam or side) that were on forty-five pillars, fifteen to a row.
1 Kings 7:3

Moms, You Feel Hidden At Times But You Are The “Beam” Of The Entire Structure

The Instructions Of A Mother

Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6

My son, keep your father’s command, And do not forsake the law of your mother. Bind them continually upon your heart; Tie them around your neck. When you roam, they will lead you; When you sleep, they will keep you; And when you awake, they will speak with you.
Proverbs 6:20-22

Instruct Them In:

The Personal Need Of Salvation
And A Relationship With God

Resisting Evil Thoughts And Desires

Self-Control

Honor

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: “that it may be well with you and you may live long on the earth.” And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.
Ephesians 6:1-4
