The Audacity to Sing | Christy Jo Harber

In this week’s sermon, Rev. Christy Jo shares a message from Luke 1:46-55. On the fourth Sunday of Advent, we hear Mary’s Magnificat as a bold, defiant song of hope– sung in the face of fear, uncertainty, and empire. Mary teaches us that when God is on the move, faith dares to sing anyway, proclaiming that love is worth the risk and desperation is never the final word. As we anticipate Christ’s coming, we are invited to raise our voices and join the holy chorus of hope, joy, peace, and love.

This sermon was preached on December 21, 2025.
