Advent Sermon Series | Mothers Around the Manger
Preaching | Rev. Dr. Layne Smith
Sermon | Mothers Around the Manger: Uriah's Wife
Scripture | 2 Samuel 11:1-4 and 1 Kings 1:15-21
Celebrating | The Second Sunday of Advent (Peace) | Deacon Ordination
We know her first as the object of exploitation—Bathsheba, Uriah’s wife. But that’s not the end of her story. Over time, she finds her voice, becomes a mother of kings, a protector of promise.
This Sunday, we witness the quiet strength of transformation and the peace that comes with reclaiming power.
