In this Advent sermon, “A Moment of Interruption,” Pastor Katy explores Luke 1:5–22 and the story of Zechariah—a faithful priest whose carefully planned life is interrupted by an angel and an impossible promise. As we begin our “Holy Moments” Advent & Christmas series at Church of the Messiah, we ask: What if the interruptions we resent or avoid are actually the very places where God is breaking in? Through Zechariah’s fear, questions, and season of enforced silence, we discover how God meets us at the end of human possibility and invites us into deeper trust.

If your life feels full of unexpected detours, delays, or disruptions, this message invites you to see them not just as annoyances, but as potential holy moments—opportunities to grow closer to God, to serve others, and to be reoriented toward God’s hope and purposes. Use this sermon for personal reflection, family conversation, or Life Group discussion as you move through Advent.
