Jon Paden starts off talking about love.    What do you associate the fundamental trait of being a christian to be? Church attendence?  Bibiblical familiarity?  Gifts of the Spirit?  The scriptures clearly point out that the fundemental trait of being a christian is love.  Lets explore this...

Jon completes the message going over what an Elder is emphasizing humility and being an example.

The Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9 and Luke 11:2 is for all those of
God's creation who may for the first time or how many times in their
heart desire to know the heights and depths of their heavenly daddy.

Twenty-eight times in 1 Kings, 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles mothers of the individual kings are being named as the king is being referenced.  Why?

The job of mothers according to the book of Proverbs is to teach their children to keep from immoral women, resist peer pressure and stay sober.

Lets continue to look at the unique calling of mothers.

We played this before/during the beginning of our worship time.
