In this special Mother's Day message, Grant explores Jesus’ revolutionary "new order" that elevated women and children from the fringes of ancient society to the very centre of His ministry. He highlights how Jesus consistently broke cultural taboos by honouring women as the first witnesses of the resurrection and welcoming children, whom the disciples initially tried to turn away. Grant challenges the modern church to reflect this heart by leading the way in dignity and equality, ensuring that the marginalised—including refugees and the abandoned—are given a place of identity and belonging. The message concludes with a call to apply these values by actively loving those on the edges of our own communities, moving them from the shadows into the warmth of God’s family.

Matthew 19:14; Luke 24:1-11; Galatians 3:28; Psalm 68:5-6.
