Sabbath. Study. Serve.

Sabbath, Study, Serve 
Taking the Sermon Into Our Week 

Scripture of the Week: Luke 1: 57-79

From the Sermon:
But in the _________ came a gift - time to think. Time to pray. Time to realize that even without speaking God was still present and God was still speaking.
Zechariah wrote out “his name is _______.”
The first thing that Zechariah did when he regained his voice was ________________.

Zechariah had __________ words spilling out of his mouth. Words about the coming of the Messiah. And how John will be a prophet of the Most High.
Zechariah told of what God _______________ and what God was going to ________________.


Reflection Questions:
Did Zechariah’s prophetic words mean that Jesus and John never npxiereicned hardship or pain? Why?

When are the moments that have lead you to sing a song of deep thanksgiving and what lead you to that moment?

Prayer:

Lord, let us know when to be silent and when to speak. When we do speak, let it not be our own opinions and thoughts, like Elizabeth’s relatives, but instead your words, like those that spilled forth from Zechariah. Speak, O Lord, your servants are listening. Amen.
