Date: 09 May 2009
Speaker: Pastor Derek Dunn
Venue: City Harvest Church

2 Timothy 1:3-5
I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day, greatly desiring to see you, being mindful of your tears, that I may be filled with joy, when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

Titus 2:1-5
But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine: that the older men be sober, reverent, temperate, sound in faith, in love, in patience; the older women likewise, that they be reverent in behavior, not slanderers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things— that they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

A godly woman has the ministry of teaching. A godly mother should teach about the scriptures, about salvation and about prayer.

Proverbs 6:20-22
My son, keep your father’s command,
And do not forsake the law of your mother.
Bind them continually upon your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
When you roam, they will lead you;
When you sleep, they will keep you;
And when you awake, they will speak with you.

2 Timothy 1:5
when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also.

A godly woman has the ministry of loving. A godly mother should love her husband and love her children.

Romans 12:10
Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another;

1 Thessalonians 2:7
But we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children.

A godly woman has the ministry of building.

Titus 2:5
to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it.
