Song of Divine Reversal - Bobbi Salkeld

"My soul magnifies the Lord." Kicking off our Advent series, Advent: The Musical, we dive into the first song: the radical and revolutionary Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55).In this message, we explore:Model Disciples: The powerful, non-competitive relationship between Mary and Elizabeth.An Oldie: How Mary's song borrows from the prophetic words of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2.The Reversal: Why the Magnificat is a fierce, political song that declares God sides with the humble and marginalized, scattering the arrogant and pulling down the mighty.Like Mother, Like Son: The striking connection between Mary's song and the later words of Jesus, including the Beatitudes, showing that he "sounds a lot like her."Join us as we contemplate the mystery of the Incarnation—God arriving in unexpected ways—and learn to trust the pattern of the Magnificat reversal in our own lives. ★ Support this podcast ★
