The Kingdom Comes to the Willing (Mary) | The Crown & The Cradle

What if the life you’re living isn’t Plan B… but God’s Plan A? In week two of our Advent & Christmas series The Crown & The Cradle, Anthony Delaney walks us through Mary’s story in Luke 1 — the moment heaven interrupted an ordinary plan with an extraordinary invitation. Mary had her future mapped out: marriage, family, security, respect. Then an angel appeared with a call that would overturn all her expectations. From Mary’s perspective, it looked like Plan B — scandal, uncertainty, risk. But from God’s perspective? It was always Plan A. This message is for anyone who feels like life hasn’t gone to plan… or that too many plans have fallen through. Christmas announces the truth that God repurposes lives, restores broken stories, and invites us into His plan — the one that leads to hope, purpose, and salvation through Jesus. Join us for worship, prayer, and this powerful teaching as we ask: 👉 What does it look like to say YES to God’s plan today? 👉 How does Mary show us the courage of surrender? 👉 How might God repurpose your life this Christmas? 📖 Scripture: Luke 1:26–38 🎙️ Preacher: Anthony Delaney 📅 Series: The Crown & The Cradle (Week 2)
