It had been four hundred years since God had made any effort to communicate with humanity. That page that separates the Old Testament and New Testament in your Bible represents that span of time. Then, God sent Gabriel to Zachariah, the husband of Elizabeth to announce that they would have a son. They had been childless all their married life. Zachariah was skeptical which is to be understood. Eventually their son was born and they named him John.

The purpose of John’s coming into the world was to announce that a new day was dawning. That God had ended His silence and that the time He had determined had arrived. John was a fiery preacher. You did not have to ask what he meant, because he was plain spoken. He was to make ready the coming of the long awaited Messiah.
A new day dawned. We are in the midst of the Christmas season. People are rushing to the stores to make their purchases and are hoping to get it done soon. Let me suggest that you take the time for a new day to dawn in your life. Jesus came to our world to be a blessing. He wants you to focus on Him. When you do, be assured a new day will dawn in your life.

Please come and worship with us on Sunday, and remember: EVERYONE is welcome here.
