In his sermon, “All In”, Pastor Tim reminds us that when God calls us to a specific assignment, He chooses us intentionally and equips us with His grace to fulfill it, just as He chose Mary to bear Jesus. We learn from Mary’s story in Luke 1 that saying “yes” to God requires us to push all our chips to the middle of the table and go all in, despite our fears and doubts about our abilities. Pastor Tim emphasizes that God’s blessings often follow our obedience, and when we surrender to His will, the Holy Spirit comes upon us and empowers us for the work ahead. He acknowledges that going all in comes with a cost—it may affect our dreams, finances, comfort, or family—but Mary’s example shows us that the greatest blessings come when we trust God completely. Today, let us embrace whatever assignment God places before us, knowing that the same Holy Spirit who filled Mary dwells in us, and commit to being all in for His kingdom.
