Mother's Day

“be one, so I wish that to myself as well as to all of you. And I'm thankful to be able to celebrate the joy of this day in my family, even as I have been blessed with a good father, an earthly father who's now with the Lord, but also just the joy of being a dad every day. But every year when Father's Day rolls around, I'm always sort of amazed at the, well, the contrast and the difference between Mother's Day and Father's Day. I mean, Mother's Day is a day that is full of a lot of”

“poignant. Today is Mother's Day. And I'm saying that for some of you men, if you don't know, you are way behind the eightball. You need to get going. Even if you're on your phone right now, I won't call you out. But Mother's Day is an interesting day because on the one hand, Mother's Day for many is exactly what it's meant to be. It's a day of joy and celebration. You're celebrating your mom. My mom comes to this church. She's here in these services. My mom was an”

“that is as sentimental as the month of May because the month of May involves three of the most emotional experiences that we have in life. We celebrate Mother's Day, and every time we walk that way, many of us have gone through the change of a loss of a mom, or there's a need to try to somehow express a deeper appreciation to a mom, but Mother's Day is a tender time. And then there's the issue not only of Mother's Day and honoring mothers and praying for those who are not yet mothers and who”

“for some of you men, if you don't know, you are way behind the eight ball. You need to get going. Even if you're on your phone right now, I won't call you out. But Mother's Day is an interesting day. Because on the one hand, Mother's Day, for many, is exactly what it's meant to be. It's a day of joy and celebration. You're celebrating your mom. My mom comes to this church. She's here in these services. My mom was an incredible mother. And so much of my foundation”

“Those of you who are in Simmons Hall, we know you're here. We're thankful that you've come. I realize that's been an overflow for you. Those of you in the chapel, we're grateful that you are here as well because today is a very wonderful and special day. It is Mother's Day, and it is a day that has brought us together, many coming to be with mom, others having mom come to be with them, but we are thankful that you are here, and it's a very special day to honor our mothers. Someone has said, being a mother is like jumping out of a plane”

“struggling right now in their relationship with their child and so as knowing that and being aware of that I just don't want us to just be glib and flipping and say well the day is Mother's Day and we just kind of say Happy Mother's Day let's recognize that there are some sensitivities and of course not only is that true for the life experience of some but for the fact that there are those who are here who are longing for this experience that”

“Well, again, welcome to Warren Crossbridge. So glad you are here to worship with us today and celebrate this Father's Day. Guys, we gotta step it up. Mother's Day is packed, and Father's Day, the lake is packed. So we gotta work on that, man. We gotta work on that. But I'm so excited to be here and to celebrate that with you. And I'm also really grateful to not just be here and celebrate Father's Day, but also to have my dad here, who is back just a few rows back that way, who does not want to be recognized or acknowledged in any way, shape, or form, but the guy turned 70”

“And so I hope you guys will be able to adjust with us along the way. But we will give you some announcements. We will announce that going into that week. The good news is if you show up at 11 that day, you'll just miss about 15 minutes of worship. So just come on in anyways. And so 9 and 10.45. Today is Mother's Day, not just because Hallmark told us it was, but because it's a joy to honor our moms. I just want to say from me, your pastor, happy Mother's Day, moms. Y'all give it up for our moms.”
