Hillsong London -- Mother's Day
21 March 2007
It was Mother's Day and nobody knows how to celebrate these key moments in life like the people at Hillsong church, London.
In March, Mal Fletcher spoke again at this his home church and found a group of people who are passionate about changing one of Europe's major cities through the power of the Christian message.
In the morning, he brought a strong, prophetic message on 'Honouring Your Father and Mother', which was very well-received. Many people in the church had been asking how they can build a better relationship with their parents and this message was very timely.
Mal said: 'Many of our major social problems today can be traced back to tension between the generations.'
'I think a large part of the answer to these problems lies in the Scriptures which tell us to honour our parents.'
In the message, he described what the word honour actually means in the Christian Scriptures: literally, 'to add weight' or 'to make weighty'.
To honour somebody, he said, is to treat them as if they have real weight, significance and importance in your life. He then shared on how this was done, in practical terms, in the Bible.
In the evening service, Mal spoke to a packed Dominion Theatre about one of his favourite subjects -- making God famous! Many people came to Christ over the day.
