Series: The Story
Cal Jernigan
Luke 1
Big Idea: If you get Jesus wrong, nothing else much matters.
1) Opening Comments
a) Welcome
b) Three things we need to celebrate!
i) Baptisms two weeks ago: 303
ii) Attendance last weekend: Just a tad under 20,000
iii) Land offering: $1,080,000 (and climbing!)
(1) You all gave over a million dollars...
(2) In one weekend
(3) To benefit the people in a place most of you don't live...
iv) I don't have the words!
c) To the Story
i) Today, we are jumping back into The Story
ii) Just what's the story?
iii) The Story
(1) Lower story
(2) Upper story
(3) Your story
d) Getting Ready:
i) Bible: Luke 1
ii) Journal:
(1) Week #1

2) The Inter-Testamental Silence
a) When we left the OT we were at a low point
i) We've endured the period where the kingdom split into two
ii) We've gone through the captivity in Babylon
iii) They've returned from the captivity
(1) They finally got the temple rebuilt
(2) They get the wall around Jerusalem rebuilt
iv) The last prophet of the Old Testament was Malachi
(1) The last words of Malachi were directed toward the coming of the Messiah.
(2) Before the Messiah would appear, there would come a prophet who would remind them of Elijah
(3) This prophet would pave the way for the coming of the Christ.
(4) In hindsight, we now understand this to be John the Baptist.
(a) But we know this from a perspective they didn't have.
(b) They just had to anticipate his coming.
(5) What Malachi didn't do, though, was give a ''due date'' for his arrival
v) So then came a time of waiting... of anticipating
b) 400 years of waiting, to be specific
i) Silence
(1) No burning bushes
(2) No parting seas
(3) No visions
(4) No dreams
(5) No prophecies
(6) No angelic visits
ii) Silence, just silence
(1) Wher ...
