The Gospel Journey Pt. 3 – The Birth of John (12/21/25)

December 21, 2025 What do we do when God feels silent? In this message from Luke 1, we step into the long quiet between promise and fulfillment through the story of Zechariah, Elizabeth, and the birth of John the Baptist. Exploring themes of silence, waiting, family, identity, and hope, this sermon reflects on the 400 years between Malachi and the coming of Christ, and what it means to trust God in our own seasons of desert and delay. As Zechariah’s silence gives way to praise and prophecy, we are reminded that God is never absent, even when He seems quiet, and that our truest identity is found not in our earthly families, but in our place within the family of God.
