Proverbs 31:10-31 — “Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.” How are we supposed to understand the famous description of a virtuous woman in Proverbs 31?

Proverbs 14:1 — “Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” In this Mother’s Day sermon we think about the power that a woman has in the home. A wise woman builds up her loved ones and a foolish woman tears them down. Which one are you?
