Luke: Child

Luke

God's Favorite Kind of Person | December 1, 2024

Luke 1:26-38

26In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary. 28And he came to her and said, “Greetings, O favored one, the Lord is with you!” 29But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and tried to discern what sort of greeting this might be. 30And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. 32He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, 33and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.”
34And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?”
35And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. 36And behold, your relative Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son, and this is the sixth month with her who was called barren. 37For nothing will be impossible with God.” 38And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” And the angel departed from her.

NEXT STEPS

Baptism

If God has saved you, we invite you to be baptized to publicly acknowledge what God has done in your life.

Door Creek on Mission

We have a long history of serving our community, and we believe that one of the ways we grow as disciples of Jesus Christ is to actively love God and love our neighbors. There are many opportunities to live missionally right where you are, by engaging in acts of love and service toward your neighbors and those in need around you. And so, we are offering “Door Creek on Mission” grants—funds (up to $200) available to help you, help others.

Resources

Join a Group

Connect with others, and grow closer to God. Groups are key to building meaningful relationships and growing closer to God. Most of our groups are sermon-based, discussing and digging deeper into the previous weekend’s message. We have groups that meet online or in-person.

Serve

We believe that one of the ways to become more like Jesus is to serve. We also believe that one of the ways to grow deeper in your relationship with others involves not only serving others but serving others together.
