Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 1: 26-49

From the Sermon:

When angels show up it is an ____________ to life as they know it who asks them to take a _____ for the sake of God.

Mary asked ‘__________________, since I am a virgin?’

Mary’s life up to this point had been one of ___________.

The angel accepted Mary’s question and responded with an invitation for her as well, an invitation to be part of the ___________.

Despite all of Mary’s questions and her fear, she responded, _______, here I am a servant of the Lord.

Reflection Questions:

Have you ever thought, like Mary, ‘why me’?

Who are the people in your life simply waiting to hear about the Christ child so they can be in a relationship with him?

Prayer:

Lord, give us the courage of Mary to say ‘yes’ to your call on our lives. To say ‘yes’ even when we do not fully understand. To say ‘yes’ even if it involves risk. Let us be a people who boldly follow after you. Amen.
