TKG Message | 05.08.2026
Pastor Chris opens by addressing the cultural confusion of our day, warning against deceptions that would pull hearts away from truth, while Pastor Sheila Mitchell shares the heart of what it means to be a mother in God’s kingdom. Drawing from Judges 5:7, where “village life ceased until Deborah arose, a mother in Israel,” she reminds us that God raises up mothers and fathers who know how to call out greatness in others. Whether biological mothers or spiritual ones, women are designed to carry God’s promises and nurture them into reality, just as Mary carried the Word made flesh. Through personal testimony of choosing love over bitterness in the face of racism, Pastor Sheila demonstrates that we have a choice in every trial: to become a stumbling block or a stepping stone. The evening concludes with communion and a powerful reminder that our identity comes not from our circumstances or skin color, but from being children of the Most High God. This Mother’s Day message invites us all to consider what promises we’re carrying and how we’re calling forth the potential in those around us.
