Faith Passed On

May 10, 2026    Pastor Lonnie Campbell

This powerful reflection on motherhood and spiritual legacy draws us into the profound truth that God works through imperfect people to accomplish His perfect purposes. At the heart of this message lies 2 Timothy 1:5-10, where Paul reminds Timothy of the genuine faith that lived first in his grandmother Lois and mother Eunice before dwelling in him. We're invited to consider how faith passes from generation to generation, not through perfection, but through love, sacrifice, and dedication. The message beautifully weaves together stories of biblical mothers who did extraordinary things in ordinary circumstances: Moses' mother who hid him in the bulrushes, Hannah who gave Samuel back to God, Elizabeth who bore John the Baptist, and the mother of James and John who advocated for her sons. Each story reminds us that motherhood, whether biological or spiritual, is about cultivating faith and using the gifts God has given us. The core truth emerges clearly: God has given us a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline, and we are called to fan into flame the gifts He has placed within us. Whether we're mothers, children, or spiritual parents, we're challenged to use everything God has given us to bless those around us and advance His kingdom.
