Zechariah's Story - A Story of Testing (1 of 4)
Series: The Stories within the Christmas Story

Luke 1:5-25, 57-79
Advent is a great time for us to celebrate the fact Christ came, and to look forward to the fact that He is coming again... not as a baby in a manger, but as a conquering King!
This Advent we are looking The Stories within the Story. -- The story of the coming of Christ is the greatest story ever told. - This time of year it gets told over and over again as it has for centuries. -- The star of the story is of course the Lord Jesus. -- But the Jesus story contains other peoples stories. Real people with real lives, who were involved and effected by His story.
All of us are living our own stories. We all have distinct lives, dreams, hopes, and fears. But each of us can find true meaning in Jesus. Only when we realize our stories find their meaning in Him can we discover true lasting contentment and meaning in life.
What can we learn from these other stories? How do they connect to our stories? What do they teach us about God, about the Christ?
Today we look at a man named Zechariah. - He's a godly man who had an unfortunate lapse in faith. Sometimes even godly people can get their eyes off the Lord and not operate out of faith. Zechariah is an example of a godly man, who had an ungodly moment... yet his story ends in hope, in worship, in joy... in faith.
Maybe this Advent season you are struggling with trusting God in an area, believing Him, taking Him at His Word... let's see what we can learn from Zechariah's story that can inform our own.

And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were ...
