What does the right response to God's fulfilled promises look like? In this message, we witness the birth of John the Baptist and discover how different people respond when God moves in power.

As we continue our verse-by-verse study through Luke's opening chapter, we transition from promise to fulfillment. Elizabeth gives birth to the son God promised, and the community witnesses something extraordinary—the Lord is moving after 400 years of silence.

Through this passage, we see contrasting responses: Elizabeth and Zechariah respond in faith and obedience, while others show spiritual dullness. The broader community responds with reverent fear and deep reflection on what God is doing. These responses teach us a crucial lesson: The fulfillment of God's Word calls for faith, not unbelief.

This passage offers hope for anyone who has struggled with doubt—like Zechariah, you too can move from faltering faith to confident trust.

Perfect for those seeking expositional preaching that connects biblical narrative to everyday Christian living.
