Join us as Robin uses the example of Mary to show the beauty of motherhood, the power of our devotion to God, and the ability we have to impact God's heart.
Mary, a young and faithful virgin, who lived in Nazareth of Galilee was greatly honored to be chosen by God to carry the Christ into the world, and to be mother to the Son of God. One cannot overstate what she must have felt within her heart, we read her song of praise when she visited her cousin Elisabeth, who was herself partaking of a miraculous birth in John the Baptist. But again, it cannot be overstated that Mary would conceive and carry the Savior of the world into the world. The salvation of Israel that she had long waited for would come into the world through her own body. The Word was made flesh within her very flesh.
Hers is the greatest motherhood story of all time. You know who she is: Mary! Her story has been told many times, but how grateful we are that it's recorded in Scripture. Whatever God's reasons for choosing this particular woman to give birth to Jesus, we know that she must have loved the Lord with all her heart.And just think how her head and heart must have been spinning when the angel visited her and told her the special job God was going to give her!Luke 1:46–48 says, “And Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant.'” We know little about her beyond that, although we are given some fascinating details: she socialized with her Son, as we see at the wedding in Cana. And of course, she was with Him at His death. No mother should have to endure that, but Mary was very strong. Her toughness and love ring like a bell through time. We remember her way of finding patience and faith.Maybe the most amazing thing about her is that God trusted Mary with an initial secret that would have floored most people! She handled it, though. The mother of Jesus was ready when her time came.Let's pray.Lord, Mary, the mother of Jesus, shows us a great example of love. It is also a mystery of sorts for us, but we know that this amazing mother is experiencing supernatural joy, forever, in Heaven! In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

What does the Bible say about Mary, Jesus's mother? What is Mary's true legacy for Christians today?
The Catechism tackles a few important issues regarding Mary, the mother of God—her motherhood, her virginal conception of Jesus, and her perpetual virginity. Fr. Mike reminds us that, regardless of the opinions of translators and modern theologians, our Faith steers us towards a correct understanding of our Blessed Mother. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 495-501. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

The Catechism introduces us to Mary's Immaculate Conception and explains why God preserved her “immune from all stain of original sin.” Fr. Mike answers a common question asked in response to this revelation: “Why didn't God just preserve us all from original sin?” His answer might surprise you. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 490-494.

How can/do you praise God in the middle of your story, before everything has all "worked out"? Mary sang the beautiful Magnificat, praising God for all that He has done while Jesus was still inside her womb. She didn't know what the next 33 years were going to look like. God had yet to do what she was praising Him for doing. She was praising the promise that she knew would be fulfilled. Nehemiah 8:1–3, 5–6, 8–10 1 Corinthians 12:12–31a Luke 1:46-55

This study looks at some of the facts about Mary and provides some application from her life.
Apart from the events surrounding the birth of Christ, we hear little about Mary throughout the scriptures. She was at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, at the cross, and in the upper room after Christ's resurrection. But not much else. But we can learn a lot from this humble village maiden. Check out this week's message on "Mary, Handmaid of the Lord" - with speaker Peter Ramsay.
Listen in to The Mustard Seed Podcast as Keisha, Leslie, and Elizabeth take a closer look into the mother of our Savior. Her bravery, her faith, and her obedience to God so we all could be saved.
This Christmas message explores the profound truth that the birth of Christ is the ultimate expression of God's love. Through Mary's extraordinary encounter with God, Pastor Matt Petty reveals five transformative truths about divine love: • God's love knows us intimately - even a humble teenage girl in Nazareth • His power manifests in unexpected ways - turning ordinary moments into divine appointments • His mercy extends beyond generations - from Abraham to Mary to us today • He lifts up the humble heart - choosing those the world overlooks • He faithfully keeps every promise - proving that no word from God will ever fail Through Mary's courageous response, we learn that true faith isn't about our worthiness but about saying "yes" to God's love. This message challenges us to move beyond seasonal celebrations to experience the transformative power of divine love that changes everything.
Characters of Christmas: Mary, Mother of JesusLuke 1:26-3826 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 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, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”38 “I am the Lord's servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.

In Matthew's genealogy (ch. 1), Mary the Mother of Jesus is the last of five women mentioned by the evangelist. As Jesus' mother, she has a special role in the plan of redemption. Nancy Dawson joins David Capes today to talk about this remarkable woman. Some Protestants mute her because some other Jesus followers hold her in such high regard. But the Scriptures give her a large voice (Luke 1-2) at the occasion of the Incarnation. Dr. Dawson is author of an important book, "All the Genealogies of the Bible" (Zondervan Academic). The Stone Chapel Podcast is part of the ChurchLeaders Podcast Network.

This podcast is about 20 minutes in length.
Dr. Nancy Dawson holds a M.S. in plant taxonomy and Ph.D. in biology/cell biology. After teaching in that field at Western Kentucky University and Texas A&M, she attended Duke Divinity School. She now works as an independent scholar in theology and has published All the Genealogies of the Bible: Visual Charts and Exegetical Commentary (Zondervan, 2023). In this episode she draws upon that research to shed light on Jesus' parents, their relationship to each other and to Elizabeth, and how these people and relationships help us understand who Jesus is.

To love Mary doesn't mean our hearts belong any less to Jesus. Today, the Catechism explains our Blessed Mother's role in prayer and why the Catholic Church prays in communion with her. We also explore the origin behind the Hail Mary prayer and other prayers to Mary throughout the Church's history. Lastly, Fr. Mike reflects on the tenderness and strength of Mary's motherhood that carries us through the difficulties of our lives.

John 2:1-11: The Lord of the wine (Mary the mother of Jesus) - Steve by Christ City Church Dublin
Hi! Trapper Jack here. Happy birthday Mary! The mother of our Lord is about 2038 years old and doesn't look a day over 1873. How does she do it!? I have a very special devotion to the mother of Jesus, since all the signs indicate that she was the one to come after me. She is the one who turned me back to God some 25 years ago. September 8th is the traditional day that we celebrate Mary's birthday. It also was the day five years ago that I was asked to give a talk about Mary, on her birthday. One of the stories that I told was what had happened just two days before her special day. My wife, Elizabeth, and I were in Eucharistic adoration at our church. Sitting before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is not supposed to be a time to take a nap, but I did. During the snooze, I had a very special dream that was delivering a message to me. As you will hear in this episode, the dream inspired me to learn more about Mary, church history, the Bible, etc. The dream told me to strip away the ignorance that I had about all the above. Mary's message to me included the same message that she had delivered to all of us 2000 years ago at the wedding feast of Cana. 'Do whatever he tells you.' So, here is my birthday present to our Lady. It is a reminder of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going. Enjoy the podcast!
