Show Notes
NOTE: This sermon has had a testimony video concerning adopting refugee families for Christmas that needed to be cut out for clarity, since part of the video was in Arabic. The full video is available on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/NsZNWEa8fb4
Before breaking down the story of Zechariah, Elizabeth, and the birth of John the Baptist, and what it meant to an elderly couple to suddenly become the people charged with raising such a important child, Andy starts by explaining by why he started the first service by running frantically out to the parking lot. Then he talks about "Lone Ranger" Christianity, our call to be a rescuer to the refugees - and the tenuous and fraught connection Christians and Muslims have in the modern age.
