Points

She Was Real
She Was Humble
She Was Worshipful
She Was Scriptural
She Was Needful
Practice

Connect Up: Mary opened her prayer with the phrase "My soul magnifies the Lord" (v. 46). The word for magnify is megalunó. It means to make or declare someone or something as great; to enlarge or increase. How do we enlarge our view of God through worship?

Connect In: How is Mary a model for us as believers? (Hint: think of her praise, her knowledge of theology and Scripture, etc.)

Connect Out: Pastor Skip reminded us that there are many false views of Mary. How can you reach out to individuals who have nonbiblical ideas about Mary and witness to them in truth and love?
