A Special Treasure

Exodus 20:12; Ephesians 6:2

Pastor Jerry Koller

The fifth commandment is to honor your father and your mother.

Three Characteristic of Mothers

1. She Bears the Marks of Love

Genesis 3:16 NIV

2. Love Expressed Through Self-Sacrifice

3. Love Expressed Through Protection and Keeping

Keeping—In the area of keeping, mothers tend to the needs of their children on a daily basis

Protecting—Likewise, mothers protect us out of love.

· When we think of protection, we think of keeping someone free from harm’s way.

· Protection also has to do with defending or guarding someone from danger.

These three praiseworthy characteristics are also illustrated in the kind of love Jesus has for us.

1. Jesus Bears the Marks of Love

2. Love Expressed Through Self-Sacrifice

John 15:13 NIV

Romans 5:8 NIV

Philippians 2:5-8 NIV

3. Love Expressed Through Keeping and Protection

Philippians 1:6 NIV

Matthew 28:20 NIV

1 Corinthians 1:8-9 NIV

John 17:12 NIV

John 17:15 NIV

Jesus may occasionally have to take the hairbrush to our backsides when we stray too far...

Hebrews 12:6-8 NASB1995

We are here for you!

We realize that this can be a difficult and stressful time for many of our church members. As this stay-at-home order continues to be in effect and many of you are unable to work, financial hardships can be an issue. Concerns and worry about the virus, financial issues, being stuck at home, etc. can be creating emotional and psychological stress. Your spiritual wellness many be struggling as we are unable to worship together and connect with church family on a regular basis.

We are here for you!! If you need assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Let us know how we can pray for you! You can submit a confidential request through our website (southhavenfbc.com) or by emailing either Pastor Jerry or Kim directly. In addition, we have persons willing to shop for those who cannot go to the store themselves or help in other ways too.

While we do not have unlimited financial resources, we do have some funds available. If you are in a good spot and willing/able to help others in need, perhaps you would consider a donation to our Benevolent Fund to help those who are struggling during this time.

We are all in this together! If you have suggestions or ideas about how we can support one another, please let us know.
