The Royal Family - The Glue That Holds Families Together (notes)

The Royal Family - The Glue That Holds Families Together

Godly Mothers

  • Hold the family together.
  • It is not money, power, position or good looks.

1 Peter 3:1-6 (NLT)

1 In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husbands. Then, even if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over 2 by observing your pure and reverent lives. 3 Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. 5 This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They trusted God and accepted the authority of their husbands. 6 For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are her daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do.

Godly Beauty

  • A Godly woman can lead her husband to the Lord by her Godly life.
  • It speaks with out any words.
  • It is not outward.

Example of Sarah

  • The wife of Abraham.
  • Mother of Isaac – Prince of Israel.
  • Raised Isaac to have faith in God and to trust the Lord.

Mothers’ Power

  • Prayers of a Godly mom are powerful and effective.
  • Prayers of mothers have changed the course of many children that were going to hell.

Proverbs 22:6 (NLT)

6 Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.

Children Follow their Parent’s Example

  • As they love God.
  • Read His Word.
  • Help others to know God.
  • Are involved in their church and community.

The First Mother (Eve)

21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. While the man slept, the Lord God took out one of the man’s ribs and closed up the opening. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib, and he brought her to the man.

23 “At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,’ because she was taken from ‘man.’”

24 This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.

Genesis 2:21-24 (NLT)

Genesis 3:20 (NLT)

20 Then the man Adam named his wife Eve, because she would be the mother of all who live

Genesis 1:26-28 (NLT)

26 Then God said, “Let Us make human beings in Our image, to be like Us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”27 So God created human beings in His own image. In the image of God He created them; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

Exodus 20:12 (NLT)

12 “Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
