mary's song

What is the 'magnificat?'

The 'magnificat' is the name that we give to Mary's song in Luke 1, in which she declares that her soul 'magnifies the Lord.' In today's study, we will see that this is one of the most counter-cultural songs ever written.

Questions That We'll Answer:

1) In Luke 1, what news did the Angel give Mary? What was her response?

2) Why was it necessary that the Messiah be born of a 'virgin?'

3) What makes the 'magnificat' so counter-cultural? What does it declare?

This is our Christmas sermon, as we look at what Mary heard and experienced around the birth of Jesus. Simeon, Anna & the Wise Men all said wonderful things about who Jesus was and how important he would be to his people. We examine that as well as what it meant for us, that God loved us so much, he sent Jesus to earth.

Scripture
Luke 2:1-40
John 3:16
Romans 5:5-8

Come visit us at the Eagle Community Church of Christ in Mont Belvieu!

John explores this wonderful intimate and somewhat radical moment in Luke between two women which results in the  “Magnificat”. He then uses Rachel Held Evans' work on the Shema and Love to explore what might life behind the Magnificat.

Finally use Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase to ask in what way are we bursting with God-news and joining the dance to the song of God this Christmas?

He finished by asking himself
-         How does Mary’s song help me to see God’s hesed love at play today?

-         What God-news might I be invited to burst with?

-         How might we join the dance of the song of God?
