In this Mother's Day message, we turn to Exodus 2:1–10 and the story of Jochebed — a mother whose courage and trust in God changed the course of history. Her willingness to defy Pharaoh and entrust her son to God's providence points us forward to Jesus, who embodied that same courage and trust on the cross. Whether you are a biological mother or called to invest spiritually in others, this message is a reminder that faithful women have always played an essential role in God's saving work — and that your ordinary obedience matters more than you know.

In this message, we dive into 1 Corinthians 9:1–18, where the Apostle Paul sets a radical example for the church in Corinth — and for us today. Rather than demanding what he was rightfully owed, Paul willingly laid down his right to financial compensation so that nothing would get in the way of the gospel taking root in people's lives. Paul's pattern points us back to Jesus, who gave up the glories of heaven and laid down his life for ours. So what are you willing to lay down so that Christ can be formed in others? This message challenges us to loosen our grip on our rights — especially our right to a full schedule — and make ourselves genuinely available to the people around us.

When we read Paul’s first letter to the church in Corinth, we see a church whose attitudes and actions are sometimes indistinguishable from the Roman culture around them. The church in Corinth is messy and divided, but it belongs to God. The letter of 1 Corinthians shows us a beautiful picture of how the gospel can bring transformation and renewal to every area of life.
