<p>Luke 1:26–38 with Matt Chin. In this Advent message, we look at the story of Mary and the kind of peace God offers in the middle of real life. Many of us long for clarity, control, and a future that feels predictable. Yet when God steps into Mary’s life, none of those things are promised. Her plans shift. Her questions grow. Her world becomes more fragile, not less.</p><p><br></p><p>What changes for her is not her circumstances, but God’s presence. Peace begins in the moment she realizes she will not walk her uncertainty alone.</p><p><br></p><p>This teaching invites us to slow down and pay attention to the places where life feels unsettled. It explores honest questions, the difference between control and trust, and how God draws close in the moments we would avoid. </p><p><br></p><p>If you are tired, anxious, or holding a part of your life that feels unpredictable, this message offers a quiet reminder. Peace does not wait for everything to make sense. Peace begins when God meets us right where we are.</p>
