Favoured by God—by Dr Marc and Keri Aguirre, & Pat Hlophe

May 14, 2023

Sermon summary:

What would be your criteria if you had to choose the mother of Jesus? God knew Mary's faith, faithfulness and humility, and that she trusted him.

She praised and glorified him. Whose favour do we seek? God's favour doesn't mean the absence of pain and suffering. Now is the time of God's favour.

Pat: As a single mum, partner with God as the father of your children.

Keri: God seeks godly offspring. We need each other to develop and deepend our convictions, and to find peace in challenging time. Parent with faith not fear. We are blessed to have spiritual formation to help each other.
