The Mother Was So Wrong, Yet So Right

Matthew 20: 20 – 22
Mothers Day Sermon
Mat 20:20 KJV - Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him.
Mat 20:21 KJV - And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom.

We live in a very warped society and it begins in the church. We have parents that will allow their children to chase after everything but God. We teach them that school is more important than God. Money is ...
