How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, indeed it faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God...Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise. Psalm 84:1-2, 4

Simply the Sermon for December 22, 2024: "Mary's Song"

After Mary was visited by the angel Gabriel and told she would be the mother to the Son of God, she traveled to Judea to visit with Elizabeth.  At Elizabeth's greeting, Mary burst into song known as the Magnificat.  God chooses the least likely to do great things.  The proud and powerful should not rely on their pride and power, says the song.  And we are invited to sing along with Mary.
