December 22nd, 2024 | Watch and Listen today! The post The Characters of Christmas | Mary appeared first on Christ Point Church.

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.

Characters of Christmas: Mary, Mother of JesusLuke 1:26-3826 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.”38 “I am the Lord's servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. CONNECT WITH USIf you have any questions or would like to get to know us further, head over to https://www.triumphlbc.org/connect and fill out our online connection card.ABOUT TRIUMPHTriumph wants to see the life and message of Jesus transform your heart, home, and city.

When God was ready to send His special Son to earth, He selected an ordinary, blue-collar girl from Nazareth named Mary to be His mother.

Pastor Joel Barker teaches on the example of Mary and Joseph from Luke 1 and Matthew 1.

What did you think of today's message?Have you ever considered the courage it takes to fully trust in a plan so much bigger than yourself? Join us as we explore the profound faith and courage of Mary and Joseph, guided by the voices of Charlotte and Eli, who breathe life into the scriptures of Luke and Matthew. Together, we uncover the incredible journey these iconic figures undertook, guided by angelic encounters that demanded immense faith amid fear and uncertainty. Through a charming illustration by Eli, who demonstrates everyday faith with the simple act of sitting on a stool, we find ourselves contemplating the unconscious trust that shapes our daily lives.As the hustle of the Christmas season envelops us, take a moment to pause and find peace with a blessing from Dr. Kate Bowler, embracing gratitude in the midst of chaos. Through nostalgic reflections, we draw unexpected parallels between the familiar Preamble to the U.S. Constitution and the timeless Nativity story, urging a fresh perspective on Jesus' birth. By examining the real human experiences of Mary and Joseph, we reveal the beauty and significance of their faith, even against a backdrop of political tension and danger.Reflect on the transformative power of saying 'yes' to God's call, as illustrated by Mary and Joseph's unwavering obedience and trust. Their example inspires us to consider the potential transformations in our own lives if we fully commit to trusting a higher purpose. From the historical moments of peace like the Christmas Truce during World War I to the grace and joy brought by Jesus's birth, we are reminded of the duality of faith and fear we live with and how embracing a greater purpose can lead to hope and renewal. Join us in celebrating the Christmas story, inviting a renewed spirit of faith and trust this holiday season.

POV Christmas, part 1

The Christmas story is filled with wonder—God using unlikely people, like Mary, to give birth to Jesus, and the shepherds and wise men coming to worship Him. Yet, it is also marked by suffering: Mary's pregnancy in a hyper-religious culture, the journey to Bethlehem, and fleeing from Herod. Similarly, when we choose to follow God and allow Him to work through us, we will inevitably face opposition from the world.

Are you willing to trust God in anything he sends into your life, whether you understand it or not? Jaci shared an inspiring message on how we can best respond to the gift of Christmas, looking at Mary's Faith. Though Mary might seem like a hero of faith, her story shows us that we, too, can respond in faith to God's extraordinary plans.  Unwrapping Christmas - Mary's Faith | Jaci Mun-Gavin

Welcome to Day 2294 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom The Characters of Christmas-3 Mary, The Simple Girl at the Center of Everything – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 12/11/2022 The Characters of Christmas: Mary, The Simple Girl at the Center of Everything Last week we continued our Advent series as we explored A Christmas Miracle: The Story of Zachariah and Elizabeth. Today, we continue our third Advent series character as we explore Mary, the Simple Girl at the Center of Everything. Our initial scripture for today is Luke 1:26-45, on pages 1588-89 in the pew Bible. Follow along as I read.  The Birth of Jesus Foretold 26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” 29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God. 31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus. 32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.” 34 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” 35 The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[a] the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month. 37 For no word from God will ever fail.” 38 “I am the Lord's servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her. Mary Visits Elizabeth 39 At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!” The city of...

The spirit of Christmas is often described with words like “holiday cheer” or “season's greetings” but what if Christmas could be a lot bigger than that? What if the Holy Spirit has more for your family this December? There are four divine encounters with angels that show us the spirit of Christmas is not just a time for eggnog and gift-wrap, but a Spirit pointing us to the reality of King Jesus.

Join us as Pastor Tyler Wilkins shows us that Mary's song of faith is a deep well of theology and praise to our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

Have you ever stopped and thought about how Mary responded to the angel Gabriel? “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word.”She put aside her own plans, the life she thought she would lead, her own body, and her fear to bring about God's will for her life!God didn't need her! But, He chose to use her! When we tell God no, His plan isn't ruined, He just uses someone else! Don't miss out on being used by God because of selfishness, fear, or your own plans! Surrender! Connect with the ladies of Her Portion, HERE!

Imagine walking in the shoes of the most ordinary couple yet chosen for an extraordinary mission - to parent the promised Messiah. This episode takes you on a captivating journey through the biblical narrative of Mary and Joseph, as we unravel the divine interventions, miraculous conception, and their remarkable perseverance. We bring into light the pivotal role Nazareth played, and the significance of Jesus' lineage through Joseph's ancestral ties to King David, setting the stage for the birth of Jesus. Intrigued about Jesus' genealogy? We delve into the gospels of Matthew and Luke, piecing together the evidence, both highlighting Jesus' rightful claim to Israel's throne. We'll explore the societal norms of Mary and Joseph's time, the bravery of Joseph, and the risks Mary faced being pregnant outside of wedlock. This discussion will provide a profound understanding of how God masterfully intertwined His entry into human history, fulfilling His promise to Abraham, birthing salvation through His son, Jesus. So buckle up for an enlightening exploration of our family's ancient future story.Support the show

Hi friends! We are continuing our Characters of Christmas series with my guest Jami Nato. Jami was on The Happy Hour back in 2016. We re-aired that episode in 2021 during our Flashback Friday podcast series, and now Jami is back with us to talk all about Mary, the mother of Jesus. Maybe December is a hard month for you or maybe 2022 has been a particularly challenging year for you. I want to encourage you to lean into this last month of the year standing on something that is unshakeable: Jesus Christ. On today's episode, Jami and I talk about how Mary's character points us to Jesus, and Jami tells us what she observes about the character of God through Mary's role in His birth. Jami talked about how God built a community for Mary because He knew she would be afraid, and how even during His death, He provided for Mary. The beautiful thing is that Jesus is doing the same thing for us today. He knows that we are afraid of certain things, so He creates community for us. Then, with the Holy Spirit living inside of us as believers, He still guides us and gives us provision. That is the hope that you can stand on in this season. I hope you were encouraged during this episode and that you walk away from listening knowing that even during the hard days, you can still have joy, hope and peace through Jesus Christ.   Connect with JamieFacebook //  Instagram // YouTubeGET ALL THE LINKS FROM THE SHOW HERE
