"Mary's Song": message for the Second Sunday in Advent, Mark Nicholas

Luke Chapter 1 v 26-56

Our theme for Advent 2016 is "Songs of Joy, Songs of Deliverance".

For the second Sunday in Advent we look at Mary and her song of praise to God

 

“My heart praises the Lord; my soul is glad because of God my Savior,
for he has remembered me, his lowly servant!
From now on all people will call me happy, because of the great things the Mighty God has done for me.
His name is holy; from one generation to another he shows mercy to those who honor him.
He has stretched out his mighty arm and scattered the proud with all their plans.
He has brought down mighty kings from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away with empty hands.
He has kept the promise he made to our ancestors, and has come to the help of his servant Israel.
He has remembered to show mercy to Abrahamand to all his descendants forever!”
