About this sermon
Children are a heritage from the Lord... Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one's youth." — Psalm 127:3–4 Imagine homeschooling your four children for 17 years. You raise them strictly in the church, surround them with Christian community, and bake the name of Jesus into everything they do. You assume the hard part is just getting them through childhood safely. Then, adulthood hits. Watch this deeply moving, flat-footed Jesus Pride Expression from our sister, Sharon Dooley. She shares the devastating Sunday morning she walked into her kitchen and learned her son—who had served on the worship team—was now an ath*_st, and her beloved "shadow baby" daughter was embracing a bis*xual lifestyle. "If you have ever been hit in the chest with a cannonball... that’s how it felt. I literally ended up on the kitchen floor that day." This isn't a testimony of defeat. This is a battle blueprint for every mother and father watching their adult children navigate the manufactured social contagions of this present age. Sister Sharon stands flat-footed to remind us that while we cannot control an adult's free will, we are fully responsible for telling them the absolute truth. Even when the culture tells you to compromise, look the other way, or "hold hell's door open for them" to keep the peace—the most loving thing a parent can ever do is stand firm on biblical boundaries. Remember: Dirt grows things. Even if your arrows feel like they are lying in the dirt today, God does some of His greatest growing in the darkest soils of the valley! 🌱✨ #BishopPatrickLWoodenSr. #UpperRoomCOGIC #GodFirst #JesusPride2026
