Notes - Luke 1:46-55 - First Sunday of Advent - God is up to something. God is active. God is real. Praise God. - Mary is a major character in the NT. - What we believe about how Jesus will return reveals a lot about what we think of the character of God. Questions - Mary is a major character - what is she like? - What do you think it’s going to be like when Jesus comes back? - How do you feel like Mary’s song fits with Advent? - How can you join God in his program described in Mary’s song? - Do you believe God is present and active doing this today? - If it’s true, does it change your view of who God is?
