Mary's Song of Worship Part 1; Luke 1:46-48

Delivered during the Sunday morning worship service, 2/21/2021. In this message we turn our attention to what is certainly the most famous of the five "songs" in Luke's Nativity narrative-- Mary's "Magnificat". So named because of the opening verse, it is a masterful prayer that exalts and glorifies the Lord. We will analyze what it tells us about Mary, her amazing command of Scripture and remarkable grasp of Theology; as well as what it tells us about God Himself and the Kingdom of Heaven He is establishing on earth. Ultimately we will consider what this song tells us about worship, and find in it attributes of true worship that are sorely missing from many of today's worshipers. But hopefully we will not lose sight of the fact this is a beautiful and meditative song of praise from a teenage peasant girl who truly loved the Lord-- and as a result learn valuable lessons from Mary's song of worship.
