What if the Christmas story you’ve imagined—all calm, all bright, silent and serene—was actually more chaotic than you thought? This December, we’re diving into the messy reality of Mary and Joseph’s unplanned journey into parenthood. Forget the picture-perfect nativity scenes: this young couple faced scandal, shame, and a crisis that could have destroyed everything. Joseph woke up one morning to discover his fiancée was pregnant, and he knew it wasn’t his child. The law gave him every right to publicly disgrace her—even call for her death. But instead of revenge, he chose mercy. And when God disrupted his plans with an angelic dream, Joseph faced an impossible choice: obey God and sacrifice his reputation, or walk away from the mess entirely. In this message, we’ll explore how God’s best plans often shatter our own, why the virgin birth matters more than you think, and what it means that God chose to enter our world through the most unplanned, chaotic moment imaginable. If your life feels messy right now, this is the Christmas story you need to hear.
