Christmas with Compassion | Mary

Pastor Marcus Johnson emphasizes that while Christmas is often marketed as a time of joy and peace, many feel overwhelmed and stressed during this season. He utilizes Mary's experience, as described in the genealogy with which Matthew begins his Gospel, along with further details from the Gospel of Luke, to illustrate that one can find peace even amid life's uncontrollable circumstances. We can shift our perspective and reduce anxiety by focusing on God's sovereignty and character instead of our challenges. Ultimately, Marcus encourages us to embrace our role as servants of God and trust in His promises, providing a pathway to peace.
