President Barnes preaches on Luke 1:39-45

December 3, 2020 | Miller Chapel Scripture: Luke 1:39-45 Elizabeth was too old to be a mother. Mary was too young. But the Holy Spirit interrupted the socially conditioned expectations for their lives. And the first person each wanted to find was the other. This may be the first Christian community — two women whose lives were changed by hope when it came too late and too soon. John leaped up in Elizabeth’s womb when Mary approach with the Christ child already forming in her womb. Whenever we come together as the interrupted community, something still leaps up as Christ approaches.
