Mothers Who Make a Difference


Genesis 3:20

INTRODUCTION… Genesis 3:20
Eve was the mother of all living people who have been and who will be. Her name, “Eve, ” means “living.” She was the first mother and the first woman to ever give birth to a child.
I wonder if she knew what to expect when it came time for Cain to be born?
I wonder if she was afraid of motherhood… no one had ever done it before?!
I wonder if she knew what an important and influential job being a mother is?
She had three sons mentioned by name in Scripture: Cain, Abel and Seth. Genesis 5:4 tells us that they had many sons and daughters in their life together, but we focus on these three boys. Cain had murdered Abel. Eve is not only the first mother, but also one of the first parents to lose a child in death. Really, they lost two sons because the other left and wandered the lands. It was through the line of Seth that people began to call upon the name of the Lord (Genesis 4:25-26).
Since the time of Eve, it has fallen to mothers to raise their children for the Lord. Our mothers bring us into the world. They nurture us. They provide for us. They raised us up. They teach us. They discipline us. Mother’s have a remarkable ability to change the world through
their children.

I. THE PROTECTIVE MOTHER: JOCHEBED in EXODUS 2:1-4
READ EXODUS 2:1-4
Moses’ mother took great risks to protect her son.
Mothers have protected us in many ways. They have protected us physically and kept us from danger. Mothers have protected us morally by teaching us right from wrong. Many times they have also protected us emotionally by keeping us from things they knew would hurt us. Mothers have also protected our spirits and brought us up to love and serve the Lord.

II. THE SUPPORTIVE MOTHER: HANNAH in 1 SAMUEL 1:24-28
READ 1 SAMUEL 1:24-28
Hannah prayed for a son for many years (she was barren). After years of prayer and endurance, God gave her a son (verse 20) and she in turn gave him to the Lord (verses 20-28). It was sort of a deal she had struck with the Lord… God give me a son and I will give Him back to you. Samuel was taken to the Lord’s house when he was of appropriate age and he was left with the priests to become a servant of the Lord. She continued to support him in the Lord’s work.
There are three things that we can learn from Hannah.
1. God answers prayer concerning children.
2. We should give our children to the Lord to use them as He sees fit.
3. We should support our children in doing the Lord’s will.

III. THE INSTRUCTIVE MOTHER: EUNICE in 2 TIMOTHY 1:1-5
Timothy, along with his mother and grandmother, were Jewish believers who heard about Christ and accepted Him. The faith that was in Timothy was first in his Grandmother and in his mother. They were an example of faith to him. They taught him the scripture.
Mothers and grandmothers… how much time do you spend talking to your children and grandchildren about the Scripture?
They should first hear about God from you.
Teach them the songs about Jesus.
They should be singing about Jesus before they are singing about Barney.
Teach them about Jesus.
Get them into church.
Share in their Sunday School lesson.

IV. THE LOYAL MOTHER: MARY in JOHN 19:25a
There stood by the cross of Jesus, His mother. She was loyal to her son till his death. Mothers have this wonderful ability that no matter what children do, no matter what they go through…they are loyal to their children. Mom’s don’t give up. This of course does not mean that you condone or approve of their sin. Many of us have Moms that could have given up on us…but they hung in there and were loyal to us.
