Without a doubt preparing for Mother's Day sermons are among the toughest. After all, what can you say that you haven't already said? I do know this, mother's are pretty sentimental and they expect to get their props on Mother's Day (and they certainly deserve it)
Mother's Day is always one of our higher attendance days of the year. One of the big reasons is because we do our Parent/ Child Dedications on Mother's Day, so all of the grandparents, aunts and uncles usually come. Today we had so many parents and kids that we had to stand in front of the stage because we couldn't get everyone on stage at the same time. As I looked at all of those little children I couldn't help but think that right before me were lives with unlimited potential. There is no telling what impact those little ones will have in this world. Thank God for parents who are committed to raising their kids in Christian homes.
It's no wonder that Jesus had a special place in his heart for children.
By the way, we had 1,254 people today! That's a 42% increase from Mother's Day last year.
