Pastor Mike Weaver starts the Advent series at GMC with an exploration of Luke 1:5-25 reminding us of God's sovereign work in our lives. The story of Zechariah and Elizabeth teaches us about faithfulness, divine intervention, and the importance of trusting God's promises. We the Lord using ordinary people for extraordinary purposes, preparing the way for Jesus through the conception and birth of John who will be the Baptist.
This narrative challenges us to examine our own faith when faced with seemingly impossible situations. Are you, like Zechariah, sometimes doubtful of God's power? Or can you embrace the miraculous with trust and joy? As you reflect on this passage, be encouraged to recognize God's hand in your life, even in unexpected ways, and be open to His transformative work within and through you.
