    Introductory Considerations 1. We continue today to examine our relationship with God. I ask you "With whom does God have a relationship?"

    Motherhood for Mary was a painful privilege. It was a privilege for her to be chosen to bear the Son of God, but so very painful to have to witness his death.

    A Painful Privilege I Thessalonians 5:16-24 Luke 1:46-55 Advent 3 December 11, 2005 I read a very interesting comment about motherhood the other day.

    God calls us to break out of our borders of worship and church. We serve a limitless God so why not give limitless service?

    In this story, God calls on us to go beyond our borders! It’d be nice if we realized that our power and purpose do not lie solely within these walls!
