Listen "Rejoice!: Mary"
Episode Synopsis
Pastor Jim teaches from Luke 1 and reflects on Mary’s song, the Magnificat, as a model for anchoring ourselves in God’s faithfulness during seasons of waiting. Mary, a young and lowly servant with no status or power, responds to a life-altering calling not with fear but with praise. Jim explains that her rejoicing comes from a clear understanding of who she is and who God has always been, the Mighty One who lifts up the humble, fills the hungry, and keeps His promises. Through this passage, Jim challenges us to recognize our own lowliness, resist the urge to grasp for control, and magnify the Lord by grounding our lives in the gospel. In a world that encourages power and self-sufficiency, Mary’s song invites us to rejoice, trusting that God is still at work in our waiting.
