In this sermon from Luke 1:39–56, we see how every true encounter with Jesus results in worship. As Mary and Elizabeth meet, Luke records leaping praise and singing praise—joy that overflows from hearts filled with faith and the Spirit. We’re reminded that what fills us leads us, and that those made alive by God’s mercy cannot help but praise Him.

What does it mean to find favor with God—and how should we respond when He calls us to trust His will? In this sermon from Luke 1:26–38, we walk through the angel’s announcement of Jesus’ birth and discover why the virgin birth matters, how God’s grace is revealed, and what faithful submission looks like. Mary’s encounter reminds us that nothing is impossible with God and that His favor leads us to obedience, proclamation, and worship.

In this message, “His Name Is John” from Luke 1:1–25, we explore how the announcement of John the Baptist’s birth changed everything and deepened belief in God’s power and purposes. Luke presents John’s birth as both historically accurate and unmistakably supernatural, reminding us that the events surrounding Jesus truly happened and that God is not bound by the natural laws He created. Through Zechariah and Elizabeth, we see how God works through ordinary obedience while also intervening in extraordinary ways to accomplish His redemptive plan. John’s birth was purposeful and life-altering, fulfilling ancient prophecy and preparing the way for the Lord. This sermon challenges us to reject unbelief, trust God’s Word, and fall in love with faithful, ordinary obedience over the long haul as we walk in step with His purposes.
