The Miracle Before the Christmas Miracle
This episode explores what I call the miracle before the miracle of Christmas.
Before Bethlehem.
Before the manger.
Before angels filled the sky.
God was already at work.
In this teaching from Luke chapter 1, we walk through the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth, the priesthood, and the grace of God that moves even when prayers feel unanswered and seasons feel barren.
This is a message for anyone who has:
- Remained faithful while waiting
- Served God without seeing change
- Wondered if time has passed them by
- Felt marked by past mistakes, family history, or reproach
You’ll see how God’s grace:
- Qualifies who we think are disqualified
- Answers prayers we’ve stopped believing for
- Removes shame and restores calling
- Prepares the way for His promises
This message is deeply rooted in Scripture, moving from Exodus to Luke, Galatians, 1 Peter, and Revelation, revealing how God establishes a royal priesthood and remains faithful across generations.
Whether you’re listening during the Christmas season or any time of year, this teaching is a reminder that God is faithful, even in the waiting.
