Took this picture several years back, while our clan was attending the “Minister’s Family Retreat” sponsored by the Virginia Baptist Mission Board. Thought I’d post it here cause this is a blog with a sermon preached on “Mother’s Day” at Patterson Avenue Baptist Church.
The sermon is a bit unusual. With the help of the children, who gathered around a table with me at the front of the sanctuary, I cooked BBQ sauce and told some stories about God’s love and grace. It was sorta like an extended children’s sermon that parents got to overhear. The text for the sermon was Luke 24:13-35.
The sermon title is as follows: Gramma’s Cooking, Some Real Good BBQ, Jesus’ Resurrection, Mom’s Embrace, and Our Home In The Life Of God – and you can listen in when you click this link. At points, you’ll hear the food sizzling and might even smell the auroma of the BBQ, which we shared with everyone after worship.
If you have problems with the link above, visit the church site http://www.pattersonavenuebaptist.com and click on the sermons link.
