Christmas at Connection 2015 | Luke 1:26–38

When fear, shame, or difficult circumstances leave us feeling alone, Christmas reminds us that God comes near. Through Gabriel’s visit to Mary in Luke 1:26–38, this message invites us to receive the love revealed in Jesus. God’s grace is an undeserved gift, and his love reaches imperfect people, bringing forgiveness and change from the inside out. Mary’s willingness to trust God becomes an invitation for us to surrender our own lives to him. Whatever burdens we carry, we can place them in the hands of the Savior who loves us and take a step toward a real, growing relationship with Jesus.
