Mother's Day 2026

This powerful message centers on the often-underestimated impact of motherhood through the lens of Moses' mother in Exodus 2. We discover a woman living in a time of terror, when Pharaoh decreed that all Hebrew baby boys must be killed. Yet she defied this evil decree, hiding her son for three months and then placing him in a basket on the Nile River in an act of desperate faith. What she could never have imagined was that her simple act of courage would preserve the life of the man who would one day part the Red Sea and lead millions to freedom. This story reminds us that faith is better caught than taught. Our children absorb who we are more than what we say. They watch how we respond under pressure, how we treat others, and whether our Sunday faith matches our Monday actions. The message challenges us to consider what we're passing down to the next generation. Are they catching peace or panic? Faith or fear? Hope or negativity? We're reminded that every sacrifice matters, every prayer is heard by heaven, and the ripple effects of faithful parenting extend far beyond what we can see in our lifetime. The call is clear: determine to live for Jesus in your home, because little eyes are always watching and catching what we model.
