“I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” – 2 Timothy 1:5

Mother’s Day invites us to reflect on the deep, often quiet influence of a mother’s faith. The Apostle Paul’s words to Timothy reveal that sincere faith often passes from one generation to the next through the loving guidance of mothers and grandmothers. Today, we celebrate that legacy.

When we think about the value of moms, it’s usually in terms of intangible gifts—love, wisdom, compassion, and sacrifice. These are treasures that can’t be priced.

But what if we did try to measure the economic value of a mother’s daily work?

According to Salary.com, a working mother averages 54 hours a week managing her household in addition to her job. Stay-at-home moms? They often work the equivalent of 15-hour days, seven days a week. The roles include everything from chef and nurse to financial manager, event planner, and counselor.

Based on these duties, a mother’s annual salary would exceed $185,000—and that’s before bonuses, overtime, or hazard pay. Factoring in those extras, a stay-at-home mom could easily command over $200,000 a year. And truthfully, she’s worth every penny.

Still, even that figure falls short of her true worth. The value of a mother’s love and faithfulness can’t be calculated. It's personal. It's spiritual. It’s eternal.

The Bible doesn’t just acknowledge the role of mothers—it esteems it. Proverbs 31:28 paints a moving picture of a godly woman’s reward:

“Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her.”

Honoring your mother starts with your words. Tell her what she means to you. Thank her for the sacrifices she has made and the ways she has reflected God’s love in your life.

But biblical honor doesn’t end with gratitude. It matures into care, especially as our mothers age.

In Mark 7:10–13, Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for neglecting their duty to care for their parents, even though they claimed their resources were dedicated to God. Their so-called righteousness became a mask for selfishness. Jesus made it clear: caring for your parents is not optional; it's a direct expression of your devotion to God.

In today’s terms, honoring your mother might look like:

• Making time for her amid your busy schedule
• Offering financial assistance or managing her needs
• Including her in decisions that affect the family
• Listening with patience and respect
• Praying for and with her regularly

These acts aren’t just thoughtful gestures—they reflect the heart of Scripture and offer a meaningful way to live out our faith in everyday life.

Whether it’s your biological mom, your wife, a grandmother, or a spiritual mother who’s poured into your life, this Sunday is your opportunity to show them they’re not alone or forgotten.

Let her know she’s seen. Let her know she’s loved. Let her know that her quiet faithfulness—the prayers whispered, the tears cried, the meals made, the lessons taught—isn’t wasted. It is, in fact, shaping generations and pointing hearts toward Jesus.

Because when a mother models faith, she’s not just building a home—she’s shaping eternity.

This Mother’s Day, let’s rise up and call her blessed, not just with words, but with actions that honor God and her.

• Is Bitcoin something that someone should have in their portfolio? I don't necessarily know much about it, so I don't invest in it, especially since I'll be going into retirement.
• My husband and I have an annuity, and I'd like to know

Imagine the weight of the moment as Abraham, with unwavering faith, stands on Mount Moriah, ready to obey God's command. Dr. John takes us into this powerful scene where God provides a ram as a substitute for Isaac. This act of provision points forward to the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, whose death on the cross offers salvation to all. As Dr. John connects the dots between Abraham's faith and Christ's sacrifice, we see how God's redemptive plan was unfolding long before Jesus walked the earth.

Confident Faith: In this 4-week series on Genesis 18-25, Dr. John Neufeld looks at the life of Abraham and unpacks the topic of faith. How is faith formed? How does faith mature? And how can faith help us trust in what God has promised, even though we can’t see it yet.

Living with a verbal abuser can be devastating. Can an abuser change? Yes, but the abuser must be willing to change. If they don't, separation might be the loving action you'll need to take to motivate them to change.

Do you see yourself the way God sees you?  We’re unpacking this important question this Mother’s Day, especially for daughters, here on today’s BOLD STEPS with Pastor Mark Jobe. Last time, he began exploring how our relationship with our earthly father profoundly shapes our understanding of our Heavenly Father.  For many listening today, this subject touches some very tender places in the heart.  Whether you experienced abandonment, neglect, or even abuse from your father figure … or perhaps never knew your father at all … these wounds can create significant barriers in fully experiencing God’s love.  In today’s message, Mark addresses these “father wounds” by showing how healing in this area is essential for embracing who God has called you to be and loving others as He’s called you to love.
