Besides Jesus, Mary is the probably the greatest hero in the Bible.  After all, through her we were given the gift of God’s only Son.  So it’s about time we did an entire sermon series on the life of Mary.  So throughout this Christmas season and beyond, Pastor Jeff will lead us through a new sermon series called “From the Cradle to the Grave: Lessons from the Life of Mary.”  We’ll begin this Sunday with a careful study of the only passage in the Bible where Mary speaks extensively in the first person.  In her words, we will discover the secret to her greatness.
