Hidden Heroes In The Bible: The Women Who Carried a Nation - Pastor Ben Hodges

Exodus 1:15-22Exodus 2:1-10God’s redemptive plan moves forward because a handful of women decided children mattered.One of the most powerful lines in the Old Testament: “But the midwives feared God…”God used all of them in ways they could not fully understand simply by loving children and protecting their little lives.1. Motherhood Is Kingdom Work, Not Lesser WorkThe most important thing happening in Egypt was not inside Pharaoh’s palace.It was inside Hebrew homes.2. Mothers Shape the Spiritual Atmosphere of a HomeThe question is not: “Will my kids be discipled?” The question is: “By whom?”3. Motherhood Requires Courage and SacrificeMotherhood is loving someone enough to continually release them into God’s hands.4. The Culture Often Undervalues Mothers — But God Does NotThe Kingdom of God has always advanced through ordinary people doing faithful things for a very long time.5. Parenting Is Spiritual WarfareThe enemy always targets generations. You are not just raising children. You are raising image bearers.6. Spiritual Mothers Matter TooSome women have never physically given birth, yet they have spiritually mothered dozens.7. Jesus Is the Greater DelivererUnlike Moses, Jesus would not merely deliver people from slavery to Pharaoh.He would deliver us from slavery to sin.
