Message #323 Mother's Day 2018, "All These Things In Her Heart" Sunday, May 13th 2018 Throughout the Scriptures, God expresses His grace to and through mothers in ways that glorify Him, show us His character, and instruct us in His ways. This teaching will focus on two such mothers: Rahab and Mary. Rahab - introduced to her in Joshua 2:1-21. She fits perfectly the description of a Gentile given in Ephesians 2:12. Though she did not know much, when the word of God came to her she believed God and acted on His word (Isaiah 66:2; Romans 10:17; Hebrews 11:30-31; James 2:20-26). She had greater faith in God's word than the twelve spies of Numbers 13, and a model of John 20:29. Mary - was of the line of David (Luke 3). Her heart was full of the Scriptures (Luke 1:46-55). A virgin (Luke 1:26-38), who acknowledged God as her Savior (Luke 1:47).
