Jesus on The Bench

Discovering the Characters of Christmas

As we begin this Christmas series, we focus on the key participants who had a “front- row seat”—or in our thematic case, a spot on the bench—to the greatest event in human history. This week explores Mary, the mother of Jesus. This comprehensive guide is designed to equip you with deep biblical context, a structured sermon outline,

external theological resources, and engaging questions to help your congregation connect deeply with Mary’s profound story of surrender, courage, and faith.
