Episode Synopsis
Saying Yes to Your LifeGod With Us: The Doctrine of the IncarnationPreacher: Rev. David CollinsSecond Sunday in Advent — December 7, 2024Scripture Reading:• Luke 1:26–38Summary:This Sunday we return to the Annunciation, not as a familiar Christmas card scene but as a story with real tension—one that touches our own instinct to say “no” to the lives we didn’t plan. Mary receives a declaration that upends her world, and her bewildered “How can this be?” becomes the doorway into God’s quiet work of beginning small…as small as a single cell.We explore how often we resist our own reality, waiting for life to be perfect or foolproof before we trust it. Mary’s yes wasn’t perfect or fearless, but it made room for God to grow something holy within her. And in Communion we remember that the same God who once took flesh now meets us in simple bread and cup, inviting us to say our own small yes to the life before us.Learn more or read past sermons:https://www.maitlandpres.org/blog/categories/sermons
