Submissive Servant

Sermon Notes
Luke 1:26 – 37 What the Lord has planned for Mary
Luke 1:38 Behold the bond-servant of the Lord, Humble and submissive

Matthew 25:14 – 30 We are Christ’s slaves and will be rewarded or condemned by our use of His talents

What if you were asked by God to do something that you thought was impossible? But if you agreed to it, you could be subject to a very painful death or at minimum being ostracized by your community and losing the relationships with people very close to you. Would you say yes or would you say no? It's easy to ask that question when those consequences aren't facing us. We're going to take a look at someone today in the Bible who was asked that very question. And we will see the response, not only just the response, but the humility to things, and sometimes there's a reaction that may or may not be justified. So I'll give you an example of personally.
