SERMON | Hymns Of Hope | God is Mindful & God is Mighty | Luke 1:39-56
Dec 1, 2024 • Blake Burrough
This sermon introduces the Advent series, Hymns of Hope, by reflecting on Mary’s song in Luke 1, the first Christmas hymn. Advent, a season of waiting and anticipation, centers on the arrival of Jesus and God’s faithfulness to His promises. Mary’s story exemplifies how God’s mindfulness and might collide with human frailty. Despite her humble and vulnerable position, Mary’s faith leads her to celebrate God’s mercy, justice, and provision. Pastor Blake Burrough draws parallels between Mary’s experience and our own, highlighting how God enters into our weakness and fulfills His promises for His glory and our joy. Through Mary’s song, we see that God is mindful of the overlooked and mighty for the helpless, inviting us to trust Him fully.
