Motherhood was God’s idea, and it comes with both blessings and challenges. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the difficult assignment God gave Mary when He chose her to be Jesus’ mother. He walks through different seasons of Mary’s motherhood and shows how even the “unwanted parts” of parenting can be a part of God’s perfect plan. Pastor Allen also emphasizes that when we choose to be obedient and follow God—when it's easy and when it's difficult, and whether it brings cheers or jeers—we will experience the faithfulness of God.
