December 14, 2025 - What if... Mary Said No?

Pastor Ashley invites the congregation to reflect on the power of “what if” questions and how they open space for deeper faith, especially during Advent. She centers the message on Mary’s story and asks, “What if Mary said no?” While Mary’s role in salvation is unique, her experience reflects something we all share: free will, uncertainty, and the need for trust in God. Mary responds with curiosity and a desire to understand before offering her yes. Her willingness and praise show that God often asks us to step into things that do not fully make sense. Advent challenges us to consider how we will respond when God calls us to the same depth of faith and surrender.
