Happy Week 5, OBSers! Can you believe it!!!
Here is your Weekly Lowdown to help you keep up in the Bible
study!
What We’re Reading This Week...Mary, Mother of Jesus (pp. 85-96 in study
guide)
This week’s memory verse: This
is what the Lord says— your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I
am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads
you along the paths you should follow. – Isaiah 48:17 NLT
Mary, Mother of Jesus: Moving from Comfort to Courage
Her Character: She was a virgin
from a poor family in an obscure village in Galilee. Her response to Gabriel
reveals a young woman of unusual faith and humility. Her unqualified yes to God’s
plan for her life entailed great personal risk and suffering. She must have
endured seasons of confusion fear, and darkness as the events of her life
unfolded. She is honored, not only as the mother of Jesus, but as his first
disciple.
Key Scriptures: Luke 1:26-38 (These
scriptures might be helpful (Matthew 1:18-25, Luke 1:26-80, 2; John 19:25-27)
Observe — What are your thoughts
when you read this statement, "Moving from comfort to courage will cause
you to question your decision. It will cause you to look around for the safety
bars, seatbelt, and any kind of security."
