What if God’s favor isn’t your front-row parking spot or your favorite cereal on BOGO?

In this Christmas message from Luke 1:26–38 and Titus 3:3–7, we look at the angel’s words to Mary: “You have found favor with God.” Most of us hear “favor” and immediately think of comfort, upgrades, and convenience. But God’s definition of favor is so much bigger—and so much better.

Pastor [Name] shares how a simple “yes” in Haiti sparked gospel multiplication in Costa Rica and Cuba, challenging us to get global eyes for what God is doing around the world. As we watch believers worship passionately with almost nothing, our idea of “blessing” and “favor” gets turned upside down.

In this message you’ll discover:

Why Mary being “favored” had nothing to do with her behavior or comfort

How the virgin birth connects to our need for a holy Savior

The real definition of God’s favor: His gracious kindness to us in Jesus

How to discern God’s leading: give it time, cover it in prayer, and invite godly people into the conversation

Why worship looks different when it comes from desperation, not just abundance

God’s favor came to Mary to flow through Mary in the person of Jesus—so that today you can decide what you will do with Him.
