Here's Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth describing the baby we celebrate at Christmas.

A mighty Savior, a mighty God who is stronger than all our enemies, stronger than Satan, stronger than sin.

He can deliver me. He has brought into this world a strong and mighty salvation.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Born a Child and Yet a King. For December 18th, 2025,

I'm Dana Gresh. A baby is a picture of dependence and helplessness.

The baby born on the first Christmas, though, would become a mighty warrior, invading a dark world.

Nancy will help us recognize the power this baby held as she continues in a

series called Zachariah's hymn. We're looking this week at Luke chapter 1, Zachariah's hymn of praise,

beginning in verse 67 through the end of that chapter. And the context here, for those of you who may have

missed the first few days, is that the family of Zachariah And the context here, for those of you who may have missed the first

few days, is that the family of Zachari, Zachari and Elizabeth, now being old folk,

and past child bearing years, but God has miraculously intervened, has given them a son. His name is

John. This child has been long prayed for, long awaited, is an incredible gift, and the family has gathered

together on day eight. The child has been circumcised and named, and they're having a celebration

to welcome this child into the world. But when Zachariah opens his mouth to speak, after nine

months of not being able to say a word, because you remember he doubted

the angel's word when the angel said you're going to have a son. So he had been struck deaf and

dumb for those nine months. And so finally, day eight after the baby's birth, Zachariah opens his mouth.

And when he does, he hardly says a word at all about his son. John, who is the center

of attention at this party, but Zachariah has somebody else at the center of his mind and his

thoughts. It's like, here is this son, John, but the one I want to really introduce to you is Jesus Christ.

John has just come to prepare the way for Jesus Christ.
