December 21, 2025: Jesus our Love in this Season
Pastor Nicole message Sunday continued the themes of Advent with a look at the Angel coming to Mary to announce that she would bear the Messiah. The theme being Love, Nicole highlighted these aspects:
Love (God) Begins with God’s Initiative
Advent love reminds us: God’s love comes toward us before we respond.
Love (God) Often Disrupts Our Expectations
Advent love reminds us: God’s love is greater than our expectations and plans.
Love (God) Invites Our Yes Through Our Surrender
Advent love reminds us that our yes is the surrender that opens up His promises and plans.
She left us to contemplate this...
Mary’s Yes / Our Yes
Where do I need to trust God’s presence over my own ability?
What is God inviting me to say yes to this season?
How does God’s past faithfulness strengthen my present “yes”?
