Discover the Christmas story through fresh eyes. Mary’s encounter with Gabriel wasn’t a quiet moment—it was a radical act of surrender that changed everything. This message reveals the simple formula behind true surrender: trust + obedience. Trust is the root. Obedience is the fruit. And real peace only comes when we stop clinging to control and submit to the King.Mary didn’t demand clarity or comfort—she trusted God’s character and said yes. Her response challenges us to stop delaying obedience and embrace the truth that understanding is optional, but obedience is essential. The peace we’re desperate for is found on the other side of surrender.——Pastor Spencer SchroederDecember 7, 2025The Harbour Church—— 00:00 The Wildness of Mary’s StoryA fresh look at the miraculous, disruptive reality of Mary’s encounter with Gabriel.05:00 The Authority Problem Behind Our Peace ProblemWhy we want the benefits of God’s kingdom without submitting to the King—and why it never works.10:00 Trust: The Foundation of SurrenderHow Mary shows us that trust is the root of every truly surrendered life.15:00 Obedience: The Expression of SurrenderWhy obedience isn’t delayed, negotiated, or dependent on full understanding.20:00 The Significance of SurrenderDiscovering that true significance isn’t what we accomplish, but whom we surrender to.——Take a Step: Follow Jesus: https://t.ly/9kAq Request Prayer: https://t.ly/m474 —— Stay Connected: Website: https://theharbourchurch.com Facebook: https://t.ly/erB4 Instagram: https://t.ly/7ZBq Newsletter: https://t.ly/ILDt#theharbourchurch #churchonline #advent #peace #mary #surrender #trust #obedience #bible #christmas #kincardine #church #community #faith #hope #joy
