First Cary UMC's First on Chatham Sermon – Rev. Kollin Absher-Baer – December 21, 2025
Scripture: Luke 1:26-38
The angel Gabriel interrupts Mary’s life with unexpected news of a coming baby. At first Mary is perplexed. Then, in faith, she asks questions. Then she arrives at an open willingness, submitting to God’s marvelous plan. How might Mary’s process remind us of the process of Advent? To be unhurried is to keep ourselves out of the center and to let God’s plan unfold on God’s schedule.
