God’s Plan for Ordinary People This Christmas

In the second message of the "The King Has Come" Christmas series, Pastor Rick Vannoy focuses on the faithfulness of Mary and Joseph, two ordinary people who became vessels for God’s extraordinary work. This message explores how God uses “jars of clay”-imperfect and fragile people-to reveal His glory. Pastor Rick challenges us to embrace obedience, trust God’s promises, and persist through obstacles to experience the miraculous.
As we look at the faith of Mary and Joseph, this message reminds us that God is still working miracles through ordinary people today. If you’ve ever felt inadequate or wondered how God could use you, this teaching will inspire you to step into His purpose this Christmas season.
