Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom – “Living Mary’s Song” – Verdugo Community Church May 14, 2023

In her sermon, “Living Mary’s Song,” pastor Gail reminds us of the response by Mary to being told she would become the mother of Jesus, found in Luke 1. While questioning the Angel Gabriel about how this would be, she accepts the path that God has chosen, even though it is outside the customs and expectations of her society. Her cousin Elizabeth, herself pregnant with John the Baptist, affirms Mary’s choice when they meet. Mary is moved by the Spirit to praise God for his choosing her and for his actions to raise up the lowly and bring justice to the world. When God calls us to do something, we need to remember Mary’s willingness to trust and follow God’s lead.
