"Mothers are Life's Basic Needs!"

Sermon Text: Ephesians 5:25-6:1-3

Introduction:    

The climax of God’s creative activities was the presentation of humankind. The natural system that God selected to populate the earth was that of union between husband and wife. The father is essential to plant the seed in order for children to be created, but the mother is the basic unit for conceiving, developing, and giving birth to a child.

Hearts are almost universally sentimental when reference is made to a mother. Because of her unique role in producing the family, a mother has her own particular needs. The family and society has special needs that a mother can meet.

     I. A Mother’s Needs.

The role of a mother is not easy to fulfill. Many factors outside the home influence children, so it is necessary for a mother to make certain efforts if she is to be successful in rearing children.

1. A mother need to have society on her mind.
2. A mother need to have God in her heart. 
3. A mother need to have a husband by her side
4. A mother needs to have children under her guidance.

II.    A Mother Is Needed.

God ordained a basic place for motherhood within the structure of our society. We cannot do without her. Those who have tried to do so have suffered the consequences.  

1. A mother is needed by sick society.
2. A mother is needed by her children.
3. A mother is needed by her husband.
4. A mother is needed by the church. 

Conclusion.

Somewhere between the youthful energy of the teenager and the golden years of a woman’s life, the lives of marvelous and loving person known as mother.

A mother is a curious mixture of patients, kindness, understanding, discipline, industriousness, purity, and love.

A mother can be at one and the same time, both lovelorn counselor to a heartsick daughter and head football coach to an athletic son. A mother can sew the tiniest stitch in the material for that dainty prom dress and she is equally experienced in driving through the heaviest traffic with the minivan. A mother is the only creature on earth who can cry when she is happy, love when she is heartbroken, and work when she is feeling ill. 

A mother is as gentle as a lamb and as strong as a giant. Only a mother can appear so weak and helpless and yet be the same one who puts the fruit jar cover on so tightly even dad can get it off.  A mother is a picture of helplessness when dad is near, and a marvel of resourcefulness when she is all alone. 

A mother as the angelic voice of a member in the Celeste real choir as she sings a Brahms lullaby to a baby held tight in her arms; yet the same voice can dwarf the sound of an amplifier when she calls your name for supper. A mother as the fascinating ability to be almost everywhere at once and she alone can somehow squeeze in an enormous amount of living into an average day.

A mother is old-fashioned to her teenager; just mom to her third-grader; and simply mama to little two-year-old sister.

But there is no greater thrill in life, than to point to that wonderful woman and be able to say to all the world, that is my mother!   

God has placed a mother in the life of every person, yet some circumstances may not allow certain people to benefit from a mother’s tender concern. But blessed is that mother who shares the truth and life of God with the children he has placed within her care.
