This message is excerpted from a sermon given by Pastor Joel Glenn at New Church Westville, on December 6, 2020. You can hear entire sermon at www.newchurch.org.
The Christmas story begins with Zacharias receiving the astonishing news that his elderly, barren wife would give birth to a special child.
