Have you ever felt overlooked, like a nobody from nowhere? In Luke's account, God chooses Mary—an unknown girl from Nazareth (the ancient equivalent of Sheboygan)—for history's greatest miracle. Pastor Bogdan reveals how God's favor isn't earned through strength but received through surrender. Through Mary's honest question, "How can this be?" we discover that Christianity begins not with human capability but with acknowledging our need for divine intervention. Whether you're feeling weary or wondering how circumstances could change, this message offers hope: God specializes in bringing life where there seems to be none. Don't miss this fresh look at how Christmas changes everything!

Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.
