Fourth Sunday in Advent

Sermon Text: Luke 1:26-38

"[26]  In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, [27]  to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. [28]  And he came to her and said, ‘Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!’ [29]  But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. [30]  And the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. [31]  And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. [32]  He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, [33]  and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.’ [34]  And Mary said to the angel, ‘How will this be, since I am a virgin?’ [35]  And the angel answered her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. [36]  And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren.’"
