A Promise of Peace...
10:30 am at The Burlington Music Center
One of the best moments in a preacher's life is when he gets to preach from a prophecy that has come TRUE!
That's what's going to be happening this week at THE WELL and you're not going to want to miss it. Come out and inject a little PASSION into your Christmas Season.
(and if you know anyone who needs A LIFT bring them too...)
Pastor Todd will explore the prophecy of Zechariah, father of John the Baptizer--cousin and immediate forerunner of Jesus the promised Messiah. Particular emphasis will be put on the fact that Zechariah's prophecy still rings true for us, that the peace that was prophesied to come in Jesus was (and is) OUR PEACE and the only hope for peace the World has.
Your passage:
"67 And his father Zechariah was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesied, saying, 68 "Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people 69 and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, 70 as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, 71 that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; 72 to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant, 73 the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us 74 that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him all our days. 76 And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the Lord to prepare his ways, 77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people in the forgiveness of their sins, 78 because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high 79 to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace."
-Luke 1:67-79
(unbeknownst to us, at about 31:00 min into the recording the mic starting losing power so you'll have static with you for the last bit. You can still hear the preaching but it's less than a perfect recording. The mic actually died during communion. We're sorry for the low-quality...)
