π TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: Luke 1:5-25
5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah,[a] of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.
8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth, 15 for he will be great before the Lord. And he must not drink wine or strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God, 17 and he will go before him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready for the Lord a people prepared.”
18 And Zechariah said to the angel, “How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is advanced in years.” 19 And the angel answered him, “I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news. 20 And behold, you will be silent and unable to speak until the day that these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their time.” 21 And the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they were wondering at his delay in the temple. 22 And when he came out, he was unable to speak to them, and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple. And he kept making signs to them and remained mute. 23 And when his time of service was ended, he went to his home.
24 After these days his wife Elizabeth conceived, and for five months she kept herself hidden, saying, 25 “Thus the Lord has done for me in the days when he looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.”

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Morning Mindset Edition of the Liberal Change Podcast. This is a |
| 0:09.1 | podcast that is designed to help us every morning align our thinking with the truth of God. |
| 0:16.8 | And yesterday, if you did not hear yesterday's episodes, the beginning of a new series we're |
| 0:20.9 | doing from now up through the time of Christmas where we're looking |
| 0:24.6 | at the actual biblical Christmas story in a chronological fashion. |
| 0:29.4 | So we're looking at the events and the people involved, starting at the very beginning. |
| 0:35.0 | And that's where we began yesterday with the story of Zakariah and Elizabeth. |
| 0:38.6 | And I read the passage from Luke Chapter 1. |
| 0:41.6 | So go back there and listen so you can know the context for this episode. |
| 0:47.4 | What we found was this aged couple, Elizabeth and Zakariah, were childless. |
| 0:55.9 | And Zakariah serving as a priest, |
| 0:58.1 | went into the temple to do his service |
| 1:00.9 | and burning incense and the ritual that is involved around that in the Jewish |
| 1:04.5 | religion and an angel of God Gabriel appeared to him and told him that God had |
| 1:11.6 | heard his prayers and was going to give a child to his wife Elizabeth. |
| 1:15.6 | And Zakaria found it hard to believe and he questioned the angel, how could this really happen? and because of his lack of belief his lack of faith |
| 1:26.8 | that God could and would do what he had said he was going to do |
| 1:31.4 | the angel said until the child is born you will be struck dumb meaning he can't |
| 1:36.8 | speak and from that moment when the Zakariah came out of the temple and all the people were gathered around he could not speak |
| 1:44.7 | an emotion to them and and and they reasoned he had seen a vision which indeed |
| 1:50.4 | he'd seen more than a vision, he'd seen an angel of God. |
