A Godly Mother

 

Introduction: 

A junior high school science teacher discussed magnets and their properties.  The next day he gave a quiz with this question.  “My name begins with an ‘M,’ has six letters, and I pick up things.  What am I?” Over half of the class replied, “Mother!”                                               

Discuss:  “The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world.” 

Body: 

I.   The Influence of a Godly Mother

  • Godly mothers can instill an authentic faith in their children.   (II Timothy 1:5)  Faith is not inherited.  It must be learned.  Eunice’s faith was real and genuine.  Mothers need to demonstrate their faith by reading the Bible, worshipping, teaching others.  A mother must be more interested in her children’s souls than in their clothes; more concerned about their eternal life than their success in life; more interested in their relationship with Jesus that their popularity; more concerned with their standing before God than their social status; their spirituality than their intellectual or athletic accomplishments.
  • Godly mothers can instill a respect for the Scripture in their children.  (II Timothy 3:14-15)  Eunice taught Timothy the Word from the time he was a baby.  She was following the advice given in Deuteronomy 6:4-7.  The influence of a godly mother cannot be overemphasized.

II.   The Work of a Godly Mother

  • Titus 2:1-5   All Christians should speak what is fitting for sound doctrine and adorn the doctrine of God.  (Titus 2:10“The godly mother puts on the lipstick of a kind tongue, blush of purity and innocence, foundation of godliness, eyeliner of compassion, and mascara of sincerity.”  Unknown
  • Older women should teach younger women how to be good wives and mothers.  (Titus 2:3-5)  Teach what it takes to be a wife and mother; what proper behavior is.  They must teach them to love their husband and children.  Note the end of Verse 5:  When the home is not what it should be, the Word of God is blasphemed, dishonored.
  • Proverbs 31
    1. A good manager of the home   (Verses 15, 21, 27)
    2. Not lazy   (Verses 17-19)

III.   Examples of Godly Mothers

  • Jochebed   (Exodus 2:1-10)   (yaw – keh – bed)    Moses’ mother protected her son from evil.  She entrusted him to God.
  • Hannah   (I Samuel 1:11, 28)   Samuel’s mother
  • Sarah   (I Peter 3:1-6)

 

Conclusion: 

Godly mothers should be honored.  (Proverbs 31:28
