Gary Douglas delivers a special Mother’s Day message from Exodus 1. He shows us how two types of fear motivated decisions that would affect generations. The first type is an unhealthy fear of earthly concerns—things we assume will happen and spend precious amounts of time worrying about. The second is a healthy fear of the Lord which can produce fruits of obedience, courage, and trust. Gary shows us how this second type of fear was characteristic of the women in Exodus 1 and concludes by sharing some personal stories of moms that helped shape his journey in life.

This message was preached at our Midland Campus and live-streamed to our Odessa Campus.
