Through this holiday season, we're looking at how God put together an unlikely cast of characters for the Chistmas story. Each Sunday through Advent, we'll examine how God chose each person for a specific purpose and how their response contributed to the glory of Christmas.
Over the four Sundays of Advent, we'll see Mary's simple submission to God's plan, Joseph's selfless obedience, the shepherd's faithfulness in keeping God's priority, the Wise Men who humbled themselves before the "new-born King", and one other "character" that you may not associate with the birth of our savior.
