December 7th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 1:26-38

In this Advent message, Pastor Todd Kaunitz continues our series Attributes of Advent by exploring two profound characteristics of God revealed in the Christmas story: His omnipotence and His immanence. While God is all-powerful and sovereign over all creation, He is also deeply personal—near, involved, and present with His people.

Drawing from Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Todd walks us through the miracle of the virgin birth, a stunning display of God’s unlimited power. Yet this same miracle also reveals His intimate nearness as He steps into human history through the incarnation—God becoming flesh in the person of Jesus. Through Mary’s honest questions and humble surrender, we see a model of trust when God’s plans stretch beyond our understanding.

This episode invites us to marvel at the God who both can do anything and who comes close. The God who defies natural laws to bring forth a Savior also draws near to the brokenhearted, the fearful, and the weary. Pastor Todd reminds us that because God is both omnipotent and immanent, we can trust Him fully, surrender to Him confidently, and bring our burdens before Him knowing He will never leave us.

Whether you need reassurance of God’s power or a reminder of His presence, this message calls you to draw near to the One who is both Almighty God and Ever-Present Savior.
