Could God's greatest favor come disguised as disruption? When the angel appeared to Mary—young, poor, and living in a backwater town—his "highly favored" greeting left her perplexed. Pastor James reveals how divine favor isn't measured by comfort or status, but by participation in God's transformative work. Through Mary's story of confusion turned to willing surrender, we discover that feeling inadequate might actually position us perfectly for God's purposes. Whether you're facing uncertainty or seeking direction, this message illuminates how embracing holy disruption leads to extraordinary purpose. Join us to explore how God's greatest work often begins in our deepest doubts. Sermon 12-21-15
