Episode Description

Every promise that God has given us are yes and amen! Join us for Part Two of our Mary’s Miracle series from Lee Cummings as we unpack the Christmas story from the perspective of Jesus’ mother, Mary.

Focus Scripture // Luke 1:39-56 (ESV)

“In those days Mary arose and went with haste into the hill country, to a town in Judah, 40 and she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit, 42 and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! 43 And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

46 And Mary said,
“My soul magnifies the Lord,
47 and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.
For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed;
49 for he who is mighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
50 And his mercy is for those who fear him
from generation to generation.
51 He has shown strength with his arm;
he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
52 he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
and exalted those of humble estate;
53 he has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
in remembrance of his mercy,
55 as he spoke to our fathers,
to Abraham and to his offspring forever.”
56 And Mary remained with her about three months and returned to her home.”

Sermon Highlights

The only way those promises come to pass are by His miraculous power.

Mary had to believe the promise, and then had to carry the promise.

We have to carry our promise to full term and let it grow, develop, and work inside of You.

What promise does God have for your life that He’s trying to reveal to you?

Whatever He is highlighting, He’s orchestrating.

Promise = “the Word of God that is working within you"

We’re called to meditate day and night on the Word.
1. Protect Your Promise
2. Process Your Promise
3. Prophesy Your Promise

When Christ is magnified in us, we position ourselves for Christ to magnify through us.
