Mother's Day Sunday : God's WOW Mom

Proverbs 31:10-31 (NKJV)

10Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.

11The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.

12She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

13She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.

14She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.

15She also rises while it is yet night,
And provides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.

16She considers a field and buys it;
From her profits she plants a vineyard.

17She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.

18She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.

19She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.

20She extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.

21She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed with scarlet.

22She makes tapestry for herself;
Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

23Her husband is known in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.

24She makes linen garments and sells them,
And supplies sashes for the merchants.

25Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.

26She opens her mouth with wisdom,
And on her tongue is the law of kindness.

27She watches over the ways of her household,
And does not eat the bread of idleness.

28Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her:

29“Many daughters have done well,
But you excel them all.”

30Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
But a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised.

31Give her of the fruit of her hands,
And let her own works praise her in the gates.

Life That Is Grounded and Steadfast in the Faith

Colossians 1:18-23 (NKJV)

18And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.

19For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

21And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.

Come Over and Help Us

Acts 16:5-10 (NKJV)

5So the churches were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
6Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. 7After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. 8So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. 9And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.”10Now after he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them.

The First Church Plant

Acts 11:19-26 (NKJV)

19Now those who were scattered after the persecution that arose over Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to no one but the Jews only. 20But some of them were men from Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus. 21And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.

22Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. 23When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. 24For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.

25Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. 26And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
