City Baptist Church - Weekly Sermons

We continue "King of Heaven, Come" by looking at Mary's initials response. The angel Gabriel gave Mary news that would change the course of history. His announcement was the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy centuries ago - "Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." Despite this feat seeming impossible, Mary believed that God had a perfect plan. Her response is one realizing God's grace in her life and believing His Word. This is a beautiful example of how our response should be when God speaks to us. We must believe that His plans are better than we could ever imagine. The Christmas story is one of Grace - God pouring our His grace and favour into the human story.
