"Great Moms of the Bible" - Pastor John D. Putnam

Main Point: Great Moms Trust God, Nurture Faith, and Leave a Legacy

• The Bible is filled with stories of mothers whose faith, sacrifice, and perseverance shaped history.
  
• These women were not perfect, but they were purposeful and faithful, showing that God uses flawed people to accomplish His perfect will.
  

Key Scripture: Proverbs 31:30

• “Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away, but a woman who honors the Lord deserves to be praised.”
  
• True greatness in motherhood is found not in perfection, but in honoring God and trusting His plan.

• The Church as a Spiritual Mother: Just as these mothers nurtured, protected, and guided their children, the church must nurture new believers and foster spiritual growth.
  
• Saying “Yes” to God: Each of these mothers embraced God’s calling, even when it came with personal sacrifice.
