Pastor Mike discusses the Christmas season with a look towards Mary as a model for Hope. In addition, a video message from Pete Briscoe, Senior Pastor from Bent Tree Church in Dallas, Tx brings encouragement and challenge for us. Pastor Pete describes how Mary's life of accepting the call to bear the "Son of God" is a good model for us on how we accept the various calls from God in our lives today. Even in the midst of "doing" the will of God, life can be hard and we can be challenged with a lack of significance and purpose. But God has a higher plan for your life. Will you accept it and thus have His Hope in the midst of it all?
