Embrace Your Favor |Rev. Dr. Kevin Johnson| Luke

This Christmas season, Pastor reminds us that even if there’s nothing waiting under the tree, you still have a gift—and that gift is God’s favor.
Preaching from the Gospel of Luke, we revisit Mary’s response to the angel: “I am the Lord’s servant… may everything you have said about me come true.” In that moment, Mary didn’t receive lights, wreaths, or celebrations—she received a word: you are highly favored.
In this message, we are challenged to understand what favor really is:
✅ Favor is not fair — it can’t be earned, bought, or deserved.
✅ Favor will find you — you don’t have to chase it; God knows where you are.
✅ Favor may confuse you before it confirms you — miracles don’t always make sense at first.
✅ Favor requires your participation — like Mary, we must respond: “God, here I am. Use me.”
Whether you’re in a season of waiting, uncertainty, or questioning why you’re still standing—this sermon declares that the reason you’ve made it is simple: God’s favor is on your life.
📌 Key takeaway: You don’t have to explain it. You don’t have to argue for it. You don’t have to post about it.
Just embrace your favor.
