Jesus: Birth Announcements

Bible Ref.: Luke 1:5-38

God sent the angel Gabriel to announce to Zechariah that He and his wife Elizabeth would have a son born to them and to Mary that she would give birth to Jesus the Savior of the world. Both were miracle births. Zechariah and Elizabeth were past child bearing years and Mary was a virgin. Zechariah expressed doubt that this could be, yet he was obedient. Mary was young, poor, and female. In her culture, she would seem to be unusable by God for any major task. But God chose Mary 

for one of the most important acts of obedience he has ever demanded of anyone. What we will see this weekend, is that God can use you if you trust him.
