Mary's Faith to Believe

Luke 1:1-38 shares the birth announcement of two boys born in supernatural ways. One to a priest named Zechariah and the other to a young virgin named Mary. This message looks at the response to the birth announcement given by the angel Gabriel. Zechariah responded in unbelief and Mary responded in belief. Choose to surrender your plans, dreams and expectations to what God desires and has planned for your life. Then trust and obey Him!
