🌟 Week Two — PEACE: When God Interrupts Your Plans Advent Bible Study Series — “Awaiting the Light: Walking Toward the Manger” Have you ever had your plans turned upside down? Has God ever interrupted your life with something unexpected, overwhelming, or confusing? Mary knows exactly what that feels like. In this week’s Advent teaching, we walk through Mary’s encounter with the angel in Luke 1 — a moment that didn’t bring instant clarity, but it did bring peace. Not because Mary understood the plan… but because she trusted the God who made it. In this lesson, we discover: ✨ Peace begins where surrender begins ✨ Peace isn’t the absence of fear — it’s the presence of God ✨ Peace comes when we believe God’s Word above our feelings ✨ Peace is a Person — the Prince of Peace Himself ✨ And peace naturally overflows into praise Mary’s story is a beautiful reminder that God meets us in our uncertainty, overshadows us with His presence, and steadies us with His peace — even when life catches us by surprise. 🕊 Advent Peace: Not everything is calm. Not everything is clear. But everything is held in the hands of a faithful God. ⸻ 📖 Key Scriptures (KJV): Luke 1:26–38 Luke 1:46–55 Isaiah 9:6 Psalm 46:1–2 Philippians 4:7 ⸻ 🎄 Advent Series — “Awaiting the Light” Week 1 — HOPE: Hannah — When Waiting Feels Impossible Week 2 — PEACE: Mary — When God Interrupts Your Plans Week 3 — JOY: Elizabeth — Joy That Leaps Before the Answer Week 4 — LOVE: Anna — Love That Watches, Worships, and Waits ⸻ 💛 Subscribe & Join the Journey Walk with us each week as we draw closer to the manger, embracing the hope, peace, joy, and love Jesus brings. 👉 Subscribe 👉 Share this message with a friend 👉 Comment: What unexpected place is God asking you to trust Him in this season?
