Bible Text: Luke 1:5-25, Luke 1:39-45, Luke 1:57-80 | Preacher: Annette Williams | Series: First Christmas | God is a god who can make life in barren places. Elizabeth had long given up having a child, yet God worked his plan and purpose in her life. The miracle of the birth of John the Baptist declared that God was doing something incredible all those years ago, at the first Christmas.
