Luke 2:21-52

Mary was real, raw and dangerous.

Mary persevered through not only a difficult journey to Bethlehem but a life of trials and suffering.

During a visit with Elizabeth, Mary bursts into song, exclaiming timeless truths about God’s power, holiness, mercy, sovereignty, and provision while extolling the virtues of humility.

The exemplary faith Mary demonstrates is not certainty, but the commitment of herself to God even in the face of uncertainty.

Mary is not just for Catholics, but an obedient girl who responded to the call of God.

Mary is a crucial Biblical character worth imitating alongside many other godly women.

Missionary Rob Burns talks about how God is working in Macedonia.

We don’t always understand God and His timing, but He can be trusted.

God is sovereign (in control) and He is the ultimate judge. He hates sin, especially pride.
