Celebrate

Luke 1:26-80

The Gospel of Luke assures us that in the Kingdom of God, everyone can turn back to be reconciled to God. So how should we express our gratitude for all that God has done in our lives? Mary’s example of gratitude is a picture for us to follow.

Mary celebrates:

The

of his grace
From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me- holy is his name. v.48-49

The

of His grace
His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. v.50

Action Points:

How do I prepare my heart for worship?

Praise Him for who He is
Names, traits, characteristics of God
Thank Him for what He has done
Develop a habit of gratefulness (prayer journal/prayer box)
Examine myself before the Lord
Love God
Live at peace with one another
Love one another
Fruit of the Spirit
Come ready to honor Christ’s sacrifice and to celebrate the resurrection
