"I am the Lord's servant."

Five words. One teenage girl. A choice that changed everything.

When the angel appeared to Mary with an impossible invitation, she had every reason to say no. It would cost her reputation, possibly her relationship, maybe even her life. She didn't know how it would work. She couldn't see the full picture. But she said yes anyway.

In this final message of The Christmas Series, we explore what Mary's surrender teaches us about following Jesus. Because here's the thing: most of us have it backwards. We want God to serve us—to bless our plans, fix our problems, make our lives comfortable. But Mary understood something we often miss: God has already served us in the most incredible way. Now we have the privilege of serving Him.

Every surrender requires a personal sacrifice. Every surrender requires trust. But here's what we discover in Mary's story: surrendering to God isn't losing your life—it's finally finding it.

What is God asking you to say yes to? 

What would change if you stopped asking God to serve your plans and started serving His?
