Are you willing to surrender?

As we approach Christmas, this sermon invites us to reflect on the life of Mary, the mother of Jesus, whose extraordinary faith and obedience demonstrate three profound truths: God's divine calling, His limitless power, and His unchanging faithfulness. Mary, a humble young woman from Nazareth, was chosen not because of her status but because of God's sovereign grace. Her story challenges us to trust in God’s plans, even when they seem beyond our understanding, and to believe in His ability to accomplish the impossible. Mary's unwavering faith in God’s promises, despite the uncertainty she faced, reminds us that God’s faithfulness endures across generations. As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, let us also prepare our hearts for His return, living with faith, hope, and anticipation. Like Mary, may we respond to God’s calling with a heart of surrender and trust in His perfect plan.
