Mother’s Day can bring a mix of emotions. For some, it is a day of joy and celebration. For others, it carries questions, pressure, grief, or quiet struggles. This Sunday at Rockwell Church, in “Raising Children for God’s Kingdom” we will look at the story of Hannah and Samuel from 1 Samuel 1-2 and discover a deeper, biblical view of parenting and spiritual influence, one that lifts our eyes beyond simply trying to do everything right and helps us see God’s greater purpose in the lives we are shaping.
Together we will explore what it means to trust God with what matters most, faithfully influence the next generation, and depend on God’s power rather than our own strength. Whether you are a mom, a grandmother, a parent, mentor, or an individual who loves Jesus and is concerned about the next generation, this message will encourage your faith and remind you that your role has eternal significance.
