Teach kids to honor their moms while pointing them to the gospel.

Looking for a Christ-centered Bible lesson to teach on Mother’s Day? Honor Your Mom is a stand-alone children’s ministry lesson designed to help kids understand what it means to obey and honor their mothers—while also recognizing their need for Jesus.

In this engaging and meaningful Mother’s Day lesson for kids, students will explore stories of moms in the Bible, with a special focus on Ruth, who honored her mother-in-law Naomi and honored God in the process.
