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.

In every major conflict, whether political, personal, or spiritual, there is almost always a sliver of validity on both sides. Grievances are real. Injustices are felt. Leaders on the “wrong” side can even articulate legitimate frustrations.
Worship nourishes the soul, centres us on Christ's sacrifice, and renews our identity in God through gratitude, surrender, and continuous remembrance.
