An Unlikely Gift - Barren for Life

Sermon Text: Luke 1: 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

Sermon Title: An Unlikely Gift: Pt 2 Barren 4 Life

Point 1: Barren for a reason vs 13 But the angel said to him, “Do no 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. (17) …to make ready for the Lord

Point 2: Barren for a breakthrough vs 21 – 23 (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,

Point 3: Barren for a breakout vs 24 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.”

Point 4: Barren for life vs. 41 41 And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit,
(42) and she exclaimed with a loud cry, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! (43) And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? (44) For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. (45) And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.”

Life Application:
1.  Walk in your barrenness
2.  Wait on God for your breakthrough and breakout!

3.  Since God gave you an unlikely gift what is your unlikely gift; legacy gift…
