What if the Christmas story is not just about a manger, but about a God who sees the overlooked and lifts up the humble?

In this message, Gregg Marutzky walks through Mary’s Song (the Magnificat) and shows how a teenage girl’s response to God still speaks to our fears, dreams, and questions today. Through Scripture, history, and personal stories, he explores themes of humility, calling, upside-down power, and trust in God’s future—even when life doesn’t look “put together.”

Whether you’re deeply religious, wrestling with faith, or just curious about the meaning behind the Christmas story, this sermon invites you to see how God works through ordinary people with open hearts.
