Well, good morning, Church of 1122. How are we this morning? You good? Awesome, good. Glad you here. Looks like you brought a date. That's a good idea. If you got your Bibles, grab one, turn into the middle of the Bible-ish, and we're going to be in Song of Solomon. We are in week three of a 10-week series in this book of the Bible about your love life. Before we go any further there, happy Mother's Day. If you are a mom, would you just please stand up right where you are? If you are a mom, would you please stand? Let's all give the

mamas a hand. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, listen up, Mamas. The kingdom of God is built on the

prayers of faithful Mamas. Amen. Every single one of us that know Jesus

is because a mama or a grandmama prayed for us. So thank you. Your husbands or sons or daughters

or somebody is going to take you wherever you want to go for lunch and dinner and breakfast

tomorrow. All right. So because you deserve it. Because you deserve it. Also, I just want to say

this. I know for some of you ladies, today is not the easiest day in your world. And I just want to point out just a little theology before we get going. When God created the first man and the first woman, he named the first man Adam, which means of the dirt. That's what he means. All right. Not that great of a name, but it just is what it is. And then he named

Eve. Eve means mother. And Eve had, she didn't have any kids when she got the name mom. Okay. And so,

if you love God, if you have a relationship with the Lord, then you are called to be a mom,

whether you've given birth or not. And so we at the Church of 1122, if you love Jesus, we need you to be a mom to help us

raise all the kids of the Church of 1122. You saw last week we dedicated at this service, I think

16 kids or something like that. It takes more than a village to raise a kid because you don't

want our villages raised as than our kids, right? You'll get the village idiot. So it takes a church.

And so we need you to be plugged into our church

and and and maybe your world isn't exactly where you thought it would be or was hoping or praying

it would be just know this that um god has a purpose for you a plan for you he is not surprised he is

sovereign he is in control i would consider i would ask you to consider praying like crazy to be involved in our new gen ministries.

And also maybe pray that a part of God's story with you might be adoption. And we have an operation adoption ministry right here.

And there are a lot of mammas that are flexing their mom jeans and mom muscles through adoption too.

And so if that's you, then you are in the right place.

We love you like crazy.

I want to pray for the moms in the room, all the moms in the room.
