Subject: The Faith of Our Mothers

• Motherhood is serious business
• Encourage and compliment from mother are inspiring to a child
• Give mother her flowers while she yet lives.
• Faith unfeigned = not putting on a false appearance.
• Motherhood is a position of high regard.
• Mothers pass on their wisdom to their children.
• Mothers make the deepest and most lasting impact on their children.
• 2 Timothy 3:14 - But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them.
• Faith dwelled in Lois and Eunice.  Faith (in God) dwelled in Mary, the mother of Jesus.

Happy Mother's Day to the ladies of Brown Chapel A.M.E. Church

Tyler District Planning Meeting - Brief

Above is a very small clip from the dynamic Rev. Reginald Houston.  His subject message was, "When your back is against the wall," taken from Jeremiah 29:10-13 and 2 King 20:1-6.  Let me say, you just had to be there to really appreciate the "Word!"
