This week we will be studying the foretelling of Jesus’ birth in Luke 1:26-38. This incredible announcement made by the angel Gabriel pointed towards the greatest single event in human history. And while the event of Jesus’ birth teaches us numerous things about the heart of God, the foretelling of His birth also gives us in-depth insight into the grace and glory of God. Join us this Sunday as we celebrate the birth and foretelling of Jesus.
Luke 1:1-25
Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox
Advent begins Sunday and so does a new series in the Gospel of Luke. Luke’s gospel has been called ‘the most beautiful book in the world.’ The writing is fresh and creative, containing the finest Greek in the New Testament. It’s a large book. God the Holy Spirit entrusted Luke to writing more of the New Testament than any other writer. It contains the greatest history ever written and we have it! It is the story of God’s divine rescue mission, providing us with a vivid picture of what Jesus means when he says that he has come “to seek and save the lost” (19:10). There’s not a better way to begin the Advent season than in Luke. Make plans to join us!
