In yesterday’s heartfelt sermon led by Pastor Tracey Baldeo, the resonating message, “Today is Different Because I have Hope,” touched our souls. Guided by Hebrews 10:23 and Luke 1:26-28, Tracey spoke about our resistance to change, reassuring us of God’s trustworthiness in keeping His promises.
The sermon took us on a journey into the complex emotions of being favored by God, drawing a poignant parallel with Mary’s experience of pain and fear during childbirth. Tracey candidly shared thoughts on the profound hope Mary must have felt when cradling baby Jesus, turning her pain into joy.
Are you currently navigating a trial in your life? Tracey’s words encouraged us to press on, anchoring our hope in Jesus. The message wasn’t just a sermon; it was a reminder that, even in the midst of challenges, the presence of hope can transform the ordinary into something extraordinary in our lives.

The Birth of Jesus Foretold
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”
