Sermon: “Great Things” Rev. Martha Langford Hear the Service
When the Angel Gabriel comes to Mary he tells her she has "found favor" with God. This is not an empty accolade and it does not signal a life of ease. Her story will join the stories of Noah and Moses, two others who "found favor" with God. It will not be an easy road but, as Mary says "Yes" to God, she will take her place in the salvation story of human kind. In joy, she proclaims, "God has done great things for me and holy is his name." As we take our place in God's salvation story, what shall our lives proclaim?
