Guest Speaker Lee McFarland delivered a Mother's Day message centered on the story of Salome, the mother of James and John, from Matthew 20. He opened with a humorous story about gifts for a mother to illustrate the importance of heartfelt appreciation. Pastor Lee emphasized that great mothers, and all believers, inspire us through five key actions. First, they intercede on their knees in prayer for breakthroughs, a powerful way to change circumstances. Second, they see and speak potential into people, especially when others doubt them. Third, they link arms with those facing challenges, offering support and belief. Fourth, they run to help those experiencing setbacks, reminding us that Jesus never forgets or overlooks anyone in their pain, as seen when Salome witnessed the resurrection. Finally, true greatness is found in serving others, as Jesus taught, not in lording authority over people. Pastor Lee wove in personal testimonies, including his and his wife Sandy's long journey to parenthood through adoption and an unexpected pregnancy, to illustrate God's mysterious and faithful orchestration in our lives. He closed with a call to accept Jesus as Savior and a prayer of blessing for all women, acknowledging that Mother's Day can be a complex day for many.
