Luke’s gospel begins with Elizabeth: a woman who was stigmatized because she was barren. In the ancient world not having children was a sign of someone who God had overlooked. And is where Luke’s gospel starts. This is the gospel for the

stigmatized, the barren, the supposedly overlooked.

As we continue in our series in Luke, Alastair Sterne preaches from Luke 1.5-25, and considers how the Gospel speaks to those who are hurting, and feeling overlooked by God.

Zechariah had waited on God for his whole life. He had waited with his wife, Elizabeth, praying for a child. He had waited with all of Israel, praying for God to move. And after a lifetime of waiting, an angel appeared.

As we continue in our series in Luke, Lloyd Lee preaches through Luke 1.5-25, and considers what it looks like for us to wait faithfully on God.

What does Psalm 133 tell us about Christian life together? How do we make sense of that during a pandemic?  

Associate Pastor Preston Gordon speaks on Christian unity and community life together during the pandemic, beyond our normal gathering for Sunday worship.

"We must be this holy priesthood: praying over one another, confessing to one another, sharing God’s life with one another, in a pandemic where dwelling together in physical unity is harder than ever. We need small cells to come together – even if in threes or fours, or virtually, to own our priestly role."
