How will this be? … There is a world of difference between asking God “how” and asking him “why.” Your people need to know the difference!
The Holy Spirit will come upon you … When God answers the “how” question, this is the usual way he starts. How often have you preached on the Holy Spirit’s role in our lives?
For nothing is impossible with God … You heard him. So did your church. What impossibilities do your people face today.
I am the Lord’s servant … Even though Mary was drafted, she responds with a willing heart. The secret of a willing heart flows from our identity as servants of God.
Then the angel left her … There are times when we have angelic help, and there are times when we are on our own. Does your view of modern Christian living include God’s messengers?
Merry Christmas, and preach with power!
