Sermon title: Mother God

In his poem For a mother to be, the late Irish poet John O'Donohue writes: “Distance will never be able to cut you off from the one you now carry for nine months under your heart.” Jesus describes his own purpose as gathering his followers “as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings.” (Luke 13:34)

How very different these images are to that of a distant or forbidding Father God! This Mother's day, we'll explore what changes when we come to know God as a mother.
