Luke 1:57-1:80 | Zechariah experienced the mercy and redemption of God and it drove him to worship. Each one of us, who has experienced the grace and mercy of Jesus, should be filled with hope and compelled to radical worship because of the kindness shown to us by the creator of heaven and the author of salvation.

Luke 1:57-1:80 | In Luke's gospel, he includes the story of Zechariah & Elizabeth the parents of John the Baptist. In the months prior to the arrival of John the Baptist, It appears that Zechariah, his father, had a crisis in his faith. After some time on the sidelines, he was ready to step into the life of faith that God had for him and God blessed him beyond what he thought was possible. We gain insights into our own beliefs and learn what it takes to have God-pleasing faith.

Luke 1:57-1:80 | The foundation that John's birth and prophetic mandate, given by his father Zechariah, laid for Jesus' life and ministry is also foundational for our lives and ministry. This sermon explores six foundational aspects of a fruitful life and ministry that are essential in proclaiming Jesus and pointing people to Him.

Luke 1:57-1:80 | Ever tried? Ever failed? Admittedly, some of the gaffs that we can make are worse than others. But what about when we sin against someone? Against God? Are there really second chances to mend harms? The story of God's grace in the life of Zechariah, and his taking advantage of the second chance, teaches us that the answer is yes.

Luke 1:39-1:56 | Mary begins her hymn of praise to God by saying, ?"My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour." As we move toward Christmas, we remember that God poured and will continue to pour out mercy on those who look to him in faith. There is no one so small or unimportant as to be beyond the salvation that God brings in Jesus Christ, and in response, we rejoice in and magnify him alongside Mary!

Luke 1:39-1:56 | When we read the Magnificat we might wonder how a 13-year-old girl could possibly compose such loft hymn of praise. Yet, when we begin to understand the reality of her circumstance and all that is coming into focus we find ourselves joining with her in praise.

Luke 1:39-1:56 | Our lives are too often defined by the word ?"busy", especially around Christmas. But as we continue in the story of Christmas, we need to pause and hear how Mary responded to this amazing news. Mary is preoccupied not with all the things that she needs to get done but praising God for all the things that he has done.

Luke 1:26-1:38 | Fundamentally, Christmas is about God initiating. He sent angels, He chose Mary, He invited shepherds and wise men to celebrate, and ultimately, we are reminded that God came to those in need at Christmas. Jesus came to the humble and still comes to those who recognize that they're spiritually bankrupt and He alone can rescue. Many, like Zechariah, can't believe it. Others, like Mary, embrace His overwhelming gift of grace.

Luke 1:26-1:38 | As we study the angel Gabriel's announcement that Mary has been chosen to give birth to Jesus, we will learn how God favors his people in a way that is similar to how he favored Mary. We will also give an overview of Gabriel's explanation of Christ's attributes as well as the means God used to allow Mary to conceive the Christ Child.
