Sermon Title: Announcing the Good News

Sermon Text: Luke 1:26-38

1) Gabriel’s Announcement (v26-34)

To the world, Mary was an unknown girl from an unknown village, but not to God

• God knew Mary, looking on her with favor

• God was with Mary, sending His messenger to her

What would make this child unlike any other ever born would be his:

• Divinity - as the Son of the Most High

• Royalty - sitting on the throne of his ancestral father David

• Authority - reigning over the house of Judah forever

2) Gabriel’s Answer (v35)

God would do this as:

• His presence will come upon her

• His power will overshadow her

3) Gabriel’s Assurance (v36-37)

Our faith in what God has promised to do is founded on what God has already done

4) Mary’s Acceptance (v38)

We wait for Christ’s promised return by:

• Waiting with hope

• Waiting with anticipation and expectation

• Waiting in faithful obedience
