Moses to Mary

This past Thursday, we finished our study on Moses. Luke Bryan was in town, and several people went to his concert. Finishing the video, we were really surprised at how much foreshadowing there was in relation to the New Testament. This Thursday, we'll move on to learning more about Mary.
 
Chapter 1: The Daughter of Zion 
Mary was a typical Jewish girl in many ways. She was specially chosen to be the New Eve, made “full of grace” to bring Jesus—the Word of God— into the world. At the Announcement (or Annunciation) of the angel Gabriel, Mary said “Yes” to God and became the Mother of God. With the Incarnate Word in her womb, this young teenage girl became the Ark of the New Covenant, and a fulfillment of some very important Old Testament types and prophecies.

    While we were missing some folks, we had a great turn out tonight.

    I think a lot of people were surprised at how many connections there are between the Old Testament and the New Testament.

    Did you know that most of the words of the Hail Mary come directly from scripture? (Luke 1:28, Luke 1:42)
