Sunday 5-10-26 with Pastor Chris

This powerful message challenges us to examine the delicate balance between our desire to be seen and our calling to live for God's glory alone. We explore the profound story of Jochebed, Moses' mother, whose name means 'Yahweh glorified' yet remains largely unknown to many believers. Her story embodies a transformative principle: our stories exist not for personal recognition, but for His glory. Jochebed's act of faith—placing her son in a waterproofed basket and releasing him to the Nile River during Pharaoh's deadly decree—demonstrates extraordinary courage and trust. She risked everything, not for fame or acknowledgment, but because she recognized God's hand on her child's life. This message speaks directly to mothers who struggle with control, worry, and the fear of letting go. We're reminded that God doesn't have problems, only plans, and that our role as stewards requires us to trust Him with those we love most. The scriptures from 1 Peter and Philippians guide us to cast our cares upon God, to pray continually, and to experience His peace that surpasses understanding. Whether we're mothers worried we haven't done enough, or children who've failed to appreciate the silent sacrifices made on our behalf, this message calls us to a deeper faith—one that looks forward rather than dwelling on past regrets, and trusts that God's faithfulness extends beyond our own limitations.
