Fellowship Bible Church



Good Morning Fellowship!This Sunday we are going to discover the heart of a worshipful life that is displayed in one of the most overlooked songs of Christmas. In order to really know the joy God gives to the world in sending Christ, we need to have humility. This song of praise, “The Magnificat” found in Luke 1:46-56, will show us exactly what humility of heart looks like as it exalts the greatness of our God.Joy for the UnassumingLuke 1:46-56But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6 Humility before God is the key to experiencing His joy in the world.What does humility of heart really look like? See your need for a Savior1:46-47See yourself as a servant1:48See your strength and security in His sovereignty1:49-56Humility before God is the key to experiencing His joy in the world.My personal application of this passage:Questions for individual study and LIFE Groups:Can you share experiences and memories you have from traveling during the Christmas season?How would you define the word “humble”? Why is humility needed in order to have a relationship with God and to grow mature in Him?What do we learn about Mary from her opening words of her song of praise as recorded in Luke 1:46-47?How has seeing your need for a Savior, and trusting God in sending Jesus, featured in your life?What takes place in our lives when we see ourselves as a servant of God like Mary expresses in Luke 1:48? How does this mindset develop?In what ways do we see Mary finding her strength and security in God’s sovereignty as she expresses her heart in Luke 1:49-55? How can these words fuel our faith in God as well?How could the time that Mary and Elizabeth shared together, as noted in in Luke 1:56, have been a significant encouragement to each of them? Can you share one experience of how another believer has blessed you through an intentional, discipleship relationship?In what ways can Mary’s hymn of praise bring a greater joy in Jesus this Christmas season? ................
