Mary’s Song: How God Lifts Up the Humble | Luke 1 Advent Message

Mary wasn’t rich, powerful, or famous. She was an ordinary young woman. Yet through her, God brought the Savior into the world—the one who would lift up the humble and bring hope to all people.

This Sunday at Divine Savior Church, Pastor Ben Kuerth explores Luke 1:26–38, 46–55, showing how Mary’s story reveals the heart of the Christmas message: it’s not about what we do for God, but about what God has done—and continues to do—for the world.

Hearts Made Ready Through Repentance | Advent at Divine Savior

The Christmas season often leaves us scattered, stretched thin, and overwhelmed by everything we think we must do. But Advent reminds us: true preparation doesn’t come from doing more—it comes from returning home.

In today’s message from Luke 1:5–25, Pastor Caleb Schmiege leads us through the announcement of John the Baptist’s birth—a pivotal moment in God’s plan to turn hearts back to Him. As we begin our Advent series Hearts Made Ready, we are reminded that the season starts not with decorations or busy schedules, but with repentance.

Through the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, God shows how He faithfully prepares the way for Jesus by calling His people back—back to forgiveness, peace, and a new beginning. This message invites us all to come home to God.

In this powerful message from Pastor Grant Hagan, we explore Ruth chapter 3 and what it reveals about faithfulness, integrity, and God’s providence. How should Christians respond when tempted to manipulate situations or use others for personal gain? What does true faithfulness look like when life is hard and no one is watching?

Through the example of Ruth and Boaz, we learn that godly character is shown in quiet obedience, sacrificial choices, and unwavering trust in God's plan. Pastor Grant challenges us to live with integrity even when it’s difficult, just as Christ remained faithful through suffering for our sake.

Join us this Sunday as we worship together and are strengthened by God's Word. We also joyfully welcome the DSA 3rd graders and their families, who will sing and celebrate with us in worship.
