Christmas at Compassion 2025 | The Encounter | Jamie Grisham

Have you ever had an encounter with God that changed everything?

In this Christmas message, we walk through Mary’s encounter with God in Luke 1 and discover how His presence interrupts ordinary life, replaces fear with purpose, and invites everyday people into extraordinary calling.

Mary wasn’t looking for an angel, she was simply living her life. Yet God met her right where she was and changed the course of history through her surrender. This sermon reminds us that favor isn’t comfort—it’s calling, and that God still invades real life with His presence today.

In this sermon, you’ll hear about:

• How God calls the unlikely to do the unimaginable

• Why fear is often the first response to divine change

• The power of asking honest questions and trusting God

• How miracles are conceived in surrender, not perfection

• Why Christmas happened because a teenage girl said “yes”

• The truth that nothing is impossible with God

Mary was young, poor, and unknown, but chosen by God. If you’ve ever felt insignificant, overlooked, or unsure of your purpose, this message is for you. God doesn’t wait for religious perfection—He meets us in real life and invites us to trust Him.

Key Scripture: Luke 1:26–38

Key Truth: “Nothing is impossible with God.”
