Motherhood on SermonAudio

Zion's Daughters Shamed by Outsiders What happens when women raised in churches and Christian homes question the old paths, while women without that upbringing begin recognizing the destructive fruits of feminism and seeking a return to marriage, motherhood, and submission to husbands? Ezekiel describes a startling reversal: the daughters of the Philistines were ashamed of Jerusalem's lewd ways! Those blessed with greater light had become a reproach to the God they professed to serve. Through Isaiah, Ezekiel, Titus 2, and Christ's warning to Laodicea, this message examines haughtiness, Christianized feminism, and a form of godliness that stops short of surrender. Are we truly returning to God - or merely fleeing sin's consequences while preserving our rebellious independence? God calls His people to more than outward worship, religious names, or partial reform. He calls us to humble ourselves, examine our foundations by Scripture, and embrace full repentance.

The fourth study in the seven dispensations series turns from the failure at Babel to God's call of Abram in Genesis 12, where the Lord begins again with one man and one family. Abram is called to leave his country, his kindred and the idolatry of his father's house, showing that the believer must be separate from the world to be used of God. From Genesis 18, Psalm 127, Malachi 2 and Ephesians 5 and 6, the message sets out the family as the foundation of a nation and the place where the next generation is taught the way of the Lord. Fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and children are each charged with their duty, in contrast to a culture that undermines marriage, motherhood and the authority of parents. It closes with Joshua 24:15 and a call to decide early to serve the Lord and raise a family for Christ.

You do not need to discover an impressive platform or hidden assignment to live a meaningful Christian life; God calls you first to belong to Christ and faithfully serve Him where He has placed you. In this episode of SheRises, we gently examine the discouragement, comparison, and confusion many women experience when they feel "stuck" or believe God must be calling them to something bigger. Ephesians | 2:10 reminds us that believers are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works He prepared beforehand. We explore the foundational call to salvation, the call to holiness (1 Thessalonians | 4:7; 1 Peter | 1:15–16), loving service (Galatians | 5:13; 1 Peter | 4:10), and faithful living in our present circumstances (1 Corinthians | 7:17; 1 Corinthians | 4:2). We also consider marriage, singleness, motherhood, family responsibilities, and ministry within the church. Through 1 Corinthians | 12, we are reminded that every believer has a valuable place in Christ's body. Your calling may not look prominent, but humble faithfulness is precious to God. Listen and prayerfully reflect on how you can honour Christ today.
