Speaker: Zac Poonen Title: The Example Of Two Good Mothers Date: 07-08-2018 Our Goal as Christians is this: To be an exact reflection of Jesus, the Son of God (Romans 8:29) We do this individually by growing in purity in our personal lives (1 John 3:2-3) We do this corporately by becoming fully functioning members of a local Church (Ephesians 4:11-16)

Summary

The sermon emphasizes that the goal of Christians is to reflect Jesus by growing in personal purity and functioning corporately within the local church. It draws parallels between Old and New Covenants regarding dedication to God, stressing that all children belong to the Lord. A key focus is placed on the vital role of parents, especially mothers, in raising godly children, citing Moses's mother as a prime example of faith protecting a child.

Why we publicly dedicate children to the LordAlthough child dedication is not a strict command or law, we follow the example of Jesus being dedicated as a baby in the temple.Luke 2:21–22

From Old Covenant shadows to New Covenant realityIn the Old Testament, only the firstborn son was dedicated because of the Passover deliverance, but under the New Covenant, 100 percent of our children belong to God.

The failure of most parents and the call of the remnantMost Christians fail to raise wholehearted disciples, leaving only a small remnant who are truly serious about honoring God in every department of life.

The parental responsibility for a child's spiritual pathGod's word states that if you train a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it, placing the responsibility squarely on the parents.

Raising a godly child is counted among the greatest miraclesHebrews 11 lists incredible miracles alongside the faith of parents who brought up a child in a godly way in an evil world.

Protecting Moses by faith and sending him to Pharaoh's palaceMoses' parents trusted God with their baby, hid him, placed him in the Nile in a basket, and eventually sent him to Pharaoh's palace after formative years at home.

Moses rejects Egypt's wealth and sinAfter spending his youth in the wicked palace of Egypt, Moses chose to suffer with the people of God rather than enjoy the temporary pleasures of sin and the treasures of Egypt.

The lasting impact of a mother's trainingMoses made these monumental decisions decades later because his mother drilled godly values into his mind during his early years at home.

Paul selects Timothy for his missionary teamThe apostle Paul was extremely strict about who he brought onto his team, yet he chose young Timothy, pointing to a remarkable background shaped by his mother.

A mother's dedication despite a difficult marriageTimothy's mother was a Jewish believer who had married a Greek man focused on worldly wealth, yet she made up for it by bringing her son up in a profoundly godly way.

Imparting sincere faith, not just Bible knowledgePaul noted the sincere faith that lived first in Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, showing that imparting faith to a heart is far deeper than teaching mere facts.2 Timothy 1:5

Teaching children to trust God through life's stormsRather than wishing for a trouble-free life, parents should teach children to pray and trust God through everyday trials and storms, building solid faith that lasts for eternity.
