No Crystal Stairs, But Don't Turn Back — Mother’s Day | Pastor Georgia Hill @ LifeChurch Riverside Detroit

"Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. It's had tacks in it, and splinters, and boards torn up... but all the time I'se been a-climbing on."THE MESSAGEOn this Mother’s Day, Pastor Georgia Hill reflects on the "wise counsel" that flows from lived experience and a deep relationship with God. In a culture obsessed with "microwave wisdom" and instant experts, we are called back to the enduring strength of those who have climbed the broken stairs of life. Through the prophetic intervention of Abigail and the simple, world-changing instruction of Mary—"Do whatever He tells you"—we see that true wisdom looks beyond current emotions to future consequences. This is a call to honor the mothers and elders among us, to seek the wisdom that sees down the road, and to refuse to sit down on the steps when life gets hard.A WORD FROM PASTOR GEORGIA"We want microwave wisdom. We want to turn on TikTok, watch a video, and get the answer to all of our problems... but wisdom doesn't just come because we’ve gone through something. It comes because as we were going through, we talked to God.""It is better to be thoughtful than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.""Jesus doesn't just give you a bargain basement kind of miracle. He gives you an executive first-class transformation.""Don't you turn back. Don't sit down on those steps because you think it's kind of hard. Don't you fall now because there's some old mamas who have been climbing."KEY SCRIPTURES📖 Proverbs 23:22, 25 "Listen to your father who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old... Let her who bore you rejoice."📖 1 Samuel 25:32-33 "David said to Abigail, 'Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who has sent you today to meet me. May you be blessed for your good judgment and for keeping me from bloodshed...'"📖 John 2:5 "His mother said to the servants, 'Do whatever he tells you.'"RESOURCES & NEXT STEPS✨ New Here?
