There's Something About Mary | Rev. Adam Hamilton | Church of the Resurrection

About this sermon

In this week’s sermon, we explore the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, as depicted in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. From her humble beginnings in Nazareth to her faith-filled response to the angel Gabriel, we learn about the qualities that made Mary a vessel of God's plan. This sermon will help us reflect on Mary's humility, faith, and devotion, and how these qualities can inspire us in our own lives. 1. Mary’s Humble Faith – Mary’s question to the angel Gabriel and her response of faith, “I am the Lord's servant.” 2. Nazareth vs. Sepphoris – Mary’s hometown, Nazareth, is presented as a humble, insignificant village compared to the wealth of Sepphoris, illustrating God's choice of the lowly. 3. Catholic and Protestant Views on Mary – Pastor Adam discusses differences on how Mary is viewed, including key Catholic dogmas like the Immaculate Conception and Perpetual Virginity. 4. Faith in Action – A story about Sharon Baker’s initiative to raise funds for goats for the needy, showing how faith can lead to action. Join us as we reflect on the example of Mary and how her faith can inspire us today. Be sure to watch till the end for a powerful reminder to live in faith and obedience to God’s call!
