HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Even as I write this I know I have isolated a portion of those who either read this or will be there Sunday. Every pastor faces a Catch-22 on Mother’s Day. He can stand in the pulpit and read from Proverbs 31 and gain the ire of every women in the congregation, especially if she feels he is preaching to them. OR he takes a chance isolating those who are not mothers-either by choice, inability, or life choice. I have chosen to take a different approach and speak about godly woman.

The Everyday Gospel Devotional we are using for 2025 is not focused on holidays or special days like Sunday. So I took each day of this week and found a theme for each day. I then hunted the Scripture for a woman who illustrated that quality. The following is what we will be looking at Sunday: A GODLY WOMAN…

Prays (Hannah)

Receives and Gives Grace (Samaritan woman in John 4)

Worships with Passion (Mary of Bethany)

Leaves a Godly Legacy (Rahab/Ruth)

Exhibits Humility (Abigail)

Stand Hopeful (Woman caught in adultery in John 8/woman with illness in Mk 5)

Gives Glory to God (Deborah)
