Mary’s Messy Christmas

Luke 1:26–38

Divine Interruption

“Mary’s Messy Christmas” holds the highest form of divine interruption.

  • Messy Mission: _Impossible_?
  • Messy Introduction: _What_?

Luke 1:26–29

  • Messy Conversation: _How_?

Luke 1:30–34

(V30) “found favor with God”

• To find favor with God is to have grace with God.

Luke 1:31–34

  • Messy Answer? _Why_?

It’s a God-thing. You won’t understand.

Luke 1:35

Virgin Birth:

  • • Holy Spirit is the agent.
  • • Overshadow is the means.
  • • Son of God is the results.

Nothing is _impossible_ with God.

Luke 1:36–37

Just go with it.

Luke 1:38

What does God want for Christmas/everyday?

  • • Count the cost.

Favor with God often means un- favor with the world.

  • Belief
  • _Trust_ in you.

God chose Mary because He trusted her!

  • Miracles

Two words that always go together:

• Christmas & Miracles

My Christmas prayer for you today:

• Allow your heart to always have a manger, a place where Christ is born and lives!
