Christmas is not primarily about how we find God—it’s about how God finds us.
In this Advent message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we step into the story of Mary, a young woman from an unremarkable town who became part of the greatest story ever told. Through humor, Scripture, and thoughtful reflection, this sermon explores how God works through ordinary lives, unlikely circumstances, and simple obedience.
Mary didn’t have impressive credentials—but she had a willing heart. And when she said, “I am the Lord’s servant,” history changed.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked, underqualified, confused, or unsure whether God could work through you, this message is for you. Advent reminds us that God doesn’t rescue the world from a distance—He comes near.
