SermonSearch Staff
2 Chronicles 16:9
Good morning and Happy Mother's Day! Today we are going to be looking at a central aspect of the Christian faith, and to be real, a very central aspect to being a Mother. Prayer!
Let's pray.
A teacher gave her class of second graders a lesson on the magnet and what it does. The next day in a written test, she included this question: ''My full name has six letters. The first one is M. I pick up things. What am I?'' When the test papers were turned in, the teacher was astonished to find that almost 50 percent of the students answered the question with the word Mother.

Of the 10 children, 2 of them would impact this world in a significant way for Christianity. Susanna was the mother to John and Charles Wesley.
