Today is a special day, Mother's Day. Mothers, we recognize you. We honor you. We lift you up. We appreciate you. My objective is to describe the task of being an ideal mother as defined in our text.
It is my desire to speak on an unpopular subject. It isn't "seeker friendly" but it is a message which needs to be heard.
Sometimes lost people think they are not bad enough to require salvation. Sometimes they think they are too bad to be saved. Our text deals with a man who appears to be beyond hope. Not so!
I come to the final lesson on what WE BELIEVE. We consider the fact that Jesus rose again from the dead and will one day return to Earth and set up His earthly kingdom.
