The Faith of Mary - Luke 1-2 - Seth Bourne

Our world has no idea what faith is. Faith is so much more than belief in invisible things. Mary, the mother of Jesus, shows us exactly what faith is and how to achieve it today. Do you think you have faith? Look at Mary to see.Sermon Questions: Luke 1-21. Did you believe in things like Santa or the Easter bunny? If so, when did you stop? Why?2. How is faith in God different from belief in unseen things like Santa? See Hebrew 11:1.3. Hebrews 11:1 talks about “hope” and “seeing”. How are these often misunderstood today?(Answer: Hope in the Bible is not wishful thinking. It is knowing that something will happen in the future. It just hasn’t arrived yet. “Seeing” here is also referring not to invisible things, but to something coming in the future.)4. Look at Mary’s song in Luke 1:45-55. How does this show the importance of humility?5. True humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. How can you do this? What is one step you can take this week? 6. Read Luke 1:38. Pray that God will give you this humble attitude.
