In this message we reflect on how Jesus brings peace to the world and to our hearts, and how, because he is with us, fear no longer has the final word.

Starting with the angel’s greeting to Mary, “O favoured one,” this message explores what it means to be graced by God before we ever act or respond. We explore Mary’s identity, God’s presence, the fear that often accompanies His call, and the courage it takes to submit and trust.

In this message we explore Matthew’s contrast of Herod, the Magi, and the newborn King, revealing the challenge of Jesus’ authority, the wideness of His mercy, and His call for us to surrender and walk a new way.

As we approach the Advent season and reflect once again on the birth of Jesus, this first message in the series explores what it means to be a people who were “walking in darkness” but have now seen and experienced “a great light.”
