Supernaturally conceived in the womb of a virgin - is this possible?

Luke 1:26-38

Mary: deify her or ignore her

Mary: A nobody in a nothing town that God chose

John 1:46 Can anything good come out of Nazareth?

Luke 1:28

Luke 1:47 My spirit rejoices in God Savior.

Luke 1:42 Blessed are you among women.

Luke 1:29-30

Mary's humility

God gives grace to the humble

Luke 1:31

Mary asks a reasonable question considering the circumstance

Luke 1:34 "How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?”

Luke 1:35

God gives His Spirit of power, love and self-control: not a spirit of timidity (2 Timothy 1:7)

Philippians 2:12

Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God. NLT
(NIV: No word from God will ever fail)
Matthew 19:26

Luke 1:49

How does Mary respond?

Luke 1:38 “I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said."

My life is God’s life

I trust God: I believe God

Luke 1:46

What happens when we glorify God (make God central)?

Luke 1:47 My spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

Our spirit fills with joy

The level of our joy is a direct result of how much we magnify (praise) God

Our song and prayer expose our heart and perspective

Do you believe God does great things for you?

Mary’s circumstances appear to be a big problem

IF we increase God’s glory in our life - we see God has done great things for us (see His work in our life)

With God NOTHING is impossible
