2025 Mother's Day - 2 Timothy 1:1-7

In this Mother's Day message, we survey the profound impact of maternal faith and its generational influence through the story of Timothy in 2 Timothy 1. We're reminded that sincere faith can be passed down, as exemplified by Timothy's grandmother Lois and mother Eunice. This narrative challenges us to consider our own spiritual legacy and how we're investing in the next generation. The message emphasizes that God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound judgment. As believers, we're called to 'fan into flame' the gift of God within us, continuously rekindling our passion and commitment to our faith. This imagery of tending to our spiritual fire serves as a powerful metaphor for maintaining our zeal in the face of life's challenges. We're encouraged to reflect on who has invested in our spiritual growth and how we can pass on that legacy to others.
