After hundreds of years of near nothing - Luke 1

Luke 1:5-7

Yet, Christmas does happen. *What are some amazing miracles and signs that happen in all the Christmas stories? *

Luke 1:8-17

Luke 1:18-20

  • …and you it up.
  • Hope deferred can make the heart sick… it was in his bones.

Luke 1:23

  • A lot of time to ruminate about his flub.
  • He got the blessing, but couldn’t enjoy it.
  • He felt the favor, but for the better part of the year, was mute.

Luke 1:59-66 But it changes!

Luke 1:67-79

He was ready for his second chance, and he believed and jumped in! He PRAISED God, and PROPHESIED!

God, and the Angels, and maybe people will turn to you again and say:

“What are you going to do?”

  1. SILENCE YOUR . Wrestle it down!
    • Why did the angel bring that consequence to Zacharias?
  2. GET BACK TO . It’s the good path.
    • God walks on that road. You will meet him there.
  3. INVESTIGATE THOSE . Discoveries happen on that path.
    • Investigate the little invites and curiosities of the Lord. Word studies, fully worship, takes notes, journal, write it down! Revisit.
  4. GET UP. Like Zacharias, get built up, so you fully engage when God invites you to a “bigger ask” again.
    • A beautiful word Zacharias shared to others.
    • God wants you to join him in the halls of faith. To believe him.
