Text: Luke 1:39-55

Mary's example reminds us that Jesus's birth is good news for everyone who is normal, ordinary, and unremarkable by the standards of this world. He is faithful to lift us up, and in return we exalt him.

Text: Luke 1:5-25

Disappointments happen in life. We have unmet expectations. Prayers take way longer to be answered than we think they should. Yet even in our disappointment, God is faithful. He was faithful to the childless Zechariah and Elizabeth, he was faithful to his people as they waited for the Messiah, and he is faithful to us.

Note: This week's sermon was rough. I was struggling with a cough that would not go away. I stopped and prayed about 12 minutes into the sermon and God took it away. But those first 12 minutes or so were hard. I edited out all the coughs and that prayer (you're welcome for not coughing in your ear), but if it sounds choppy at first, or you hear the strain in my voice, that's why. Also, I misspoke at one point. The reason Zechariah and Elizabeth couldn't have a baby was PHYSICAL, not SPIRITUAL. I said it the other way around.

Despite what you've been told, despite how you have been treated, despite how may have thought of yourself or even acted at times - you are not a consumer. Your identity is not defined by your ability to take, to get, to consume. In this week's message we looked at who God did, in fact, create us to be - in relation to him, to others, and to the world around us.

Text: Acts 9:31-43

In the final sermon of our "Unstoppable" series, we are reminded that gospel increase requires empowered witness. These verses illustrate three essential elements of that witness. As a church, we're not meant to pick one or two of these, but "all of the above"!
