Much to Learn from Mary
Filed under {!-- ra:000000007b88496900000000447a2d04 --}{if 'Much to Learn from Mary' == '52home' && category_name == '52home'} Homemaking | Holidays {if:else} Homemaking | Holidays {/if}Christmas wrapping, Christmas baking, Christmas decorating, Christmas cleanup: this season is full of activities that require the use of our hands, but leave our brains free to meditate on the truths of why we celebrate. For that reason, over the next three weeks we want to provide you with three sermons that will lift your minds and hearts above the busyness and settle them on the glories of Christmas.
Up first is a message by my little brother, Grant Layman. Well, he’s not so little anymore—he has children of his own and he’s one of the pastors at Covenant Life Church. But he will always be my little brother. Yesterday he preached on Luke 1:39-56. It was an insighful and moving message about the life of Mary. And more importantly, Mary’s God.
Mary is probably the most well-known and yet misunderstood woman in all of history. Many Catholics worship the mother of our Lord as if she were deity herself. In reaction, many evangelicals often ignore Mary. And yet, as Grant pointed out, there is much we as women can learn from her example.
So let me encourage you to listen to this message “Our Savior is Born Pt. 2, Mary’s Song” and meet Mary again for the first time.
