Wednesday Evening Worship

Dec 10, 2025    Mike Lefler

In this message from Gospel of Luke chapter 1, Bro. Mike explores the announcement of John the Baptist’s birth and the call to prepare the way of the Lord. Preaching from the account of Zechariah and Elizabeth, he highlights their righteous character and faithful service during a spiritually dark time under Herod and after four hundred years of prophetic silence since Malachi. Though advanced in years and childless, they remained obedient and blameless before God, positioning themselves to be used for His divine purposes. Bro. Mike emphasizes that John’s mission, foretold in prophecy, was to turn hearts back to God and prepare people for the coming of Christ, and he challenges believers today to likewise remove spiritual obstacles, live faithfully, and be ready to give an answer for the hope within them. Just as God broke His silence with a message of redemption and renewal, Bro. Mike urges the church to live prepared lives marked by righteousness, availability, and expectancy as we await Christ’s return.
