Day 7

today sermon was about " Of Faith and Christmas #2 Mary- A Submissive Faith the bible verse was Luke 1: 26-38 26In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?"The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. 36Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. 37For nothing is impossible with God."I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. 

Mark 10:45  For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."  I have learned that to seek the will of the Lord and serves him 

There are 2 types of submissions : - Forceful submissions - Wilful submissions ... for wilful submissions Eph 5: 21-27 submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her  to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. I've learn that to fellow what God wants us to do and what ever he want us to do he will be with us.  and nothing is impossible with God.

1 Cor 2:21-27 However, as it is written: No eye has seen,  no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the man's spirit within him? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us. This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. .... The holy spirit will be with us we if we do God's will in this world.

Matthew 19:26  Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
