Life-Giving Prayer

 

How was your worship last week? Any cool interactions with God that you shared?

 

 

Life-Giving Truth

 

How did last week’s truth, more is better, impact your heart

 

Read Luke 1:46-55

 

What is the general spirit that you sense in the words of Mary?

 

Given the context these words are written in, why is that surprising?

 

Below are 4 things that made Mary a good choice for God to use her. 

 

Mary was connected in relationship with God

Mary had eternal perspective

Mary was surrendered to her maker

Mary was entirely humble

 

Why do you think each of these things are a pre-requisite to being used by God?

 

How are these things different then what the world values in a useful person?

 

Do you want to be used in a powerful way by God? Why or why not?

 

Which of the 4 are most difficult for you?

 

 

Pray for the hearts of everyone in the room that our hearts would become more humble, giving us the opportunity to be used by God.
