We often think of the Christmas story beginning when Jesus was born, but Luke 1 starts with an angelic visit to Zechariah and Elizabeth, the parents of John the Baptist. In this sermon, Pastor Robert J. Morgan discusses Zechariah and Elizabeth and the unexpected way God changed the course of their lives during their old age. He draws several truths from their experiences that can strengthen and encourage us in our faith today. We often overlook the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, but prophecy was fulfilled through their lives, and considering their faith—and their unique roles in the unfolding purposes of God—offers us a fresh perspective on Christmas.
