Series: Welcoming God – making room in our lives for Christ (1) Text: Luke 1:26-38
1. Expect God to do the extraordinary through the ordinary.
A. God does the extraordinary in ordinary places.
The announcement came:
• In Galilee, not Judea (Isaiah 9:1-2).
• In Nazareth, not Jerusalem (John 1:45–46).
• In Mary’s home, not The Temple.
2. God’s extraordinary work through you will be big, good and risky.
3. Welcoming God’s work requires us to trust him enough to let go of our control.
