A Mother's High Calling – Part 2 of 2

November 8, 2023

Rather than dismiss or discourage the importance of motherhood, the Bible considers it an honor. There’s no better role model than Mary, who experienced pain and conflict about her firstborn: Jesus, the Son of God. In this message, Pastor Lutzer encourages mothers to embrace their role. Imagine the rewards of nurturing children in the faith.

When You’ve Been Wronged
Conflict in relationships is inevitable, but healing and reconciliation often is not. Time and again we've tried every option and failed, and all we are left with is a load of guilt and pain. Pastor Erwin Lutzer shows how the blessing the Lord gives to those who suffer unjustly is worth the pain involved. He also illustrates the need to leave our broken relationships in the hands of God and move forward in our lives toward freedom.
