As you meet this week, begin by praying for the Holy Spirit to guide your discussion. Then reflect on what stood out to you during the worship and sermon on Mary's Song (Luke 1 v 46-56), and please feel free to tackle these following questions.

1. Why do you think that God might have chosen Mary? 2. What do you think was going on in Mary's heart at the time? 3. What do we learn of God's character from Mary's song? 4. What does it mean to 'fear' God? 5. What was God's promise to Abraham (see Gen 17) and what does it mean for us?
