Mary's Brave "Yes": Extraordinary Faith in God's Plan

What does it look like to say a brave “yes” to God when the future feels uncertain? In this Advent message, Patricia Ridgway reflects on Mary’s extraordinary faith and willingness to trust God’s plan, even when it disrupted her expectations and comfort. Through Luke’s Gospel, we’re reminded that God often calls ordinary people to step into extraordinary moments—one step at a time. This message invites us to consider where God may be asking us to trust Him afresh, surrender our fears, and walk forward in faith as we head into a new season. Like Mary, our obedience can carry far more impact than we ever imagine.Subscribe for more life-giving messages, and find out more at anchorpointchurch.com.au⏱️ Timestamped Chapters0:00 Welcome & Advent focus 2:28 Mary’s calling and God’s unexpected plan 6:16 Stepping out in faith when the path is unclear 12:31 God’s guidance, one step at a time 23:52 Communion, prayer & closing encouragement#anchorpointchurch #wearec3 #C3australia #c3churchglobal #faith #obedience
