The Songs of Christmas
Zechariah's Song

Luke 1:57–80
Friends, I don’t know where you are at today. But likely there is some darkness that you’ve walked through this past year or some dark place that you find yourself today. It might be the darkness of some loss. Maybe someone close to you died or a relationship ended. Maybe health issues have profoundly impacted your life or a family member’s life. Maybe it’s been a difficult year at work or with a relationship. Maybe you feel like you’re in the tunnel and you’re not sure if you see light at the end of it or a train coming to finish you off. Maybe you’re in a dark place spiritually or not very passionate about God right now. I invite you to hear the song of one who walked in 9 months of darkness. Hear what he celebrates about God. Discover how he went forward from his own darkness into the light the Lord provided. After we’ve looked at Zechariah’s reflection, we will have opportunity to respond to the Lord’s provisions today to bring us out of our darkness. Zechariah celebrates the Lord’s “out from the darkness salvation.”
