Luke 1:46-55. Mary’s song shows us that the Lord has done great things, the Lord has shown mercy, and the Lord has kept his promises.

1 Timothy 3:8-13. Paul lays out the qualifications for those who will serve the local church as deacons.

1 Kings 16:29-17:6. The introduction to the life of Elijah shows us our need to take sin seriously, to heed the voice calling us to repentance, and to repent quickly.
