52: New Year New Beginning – Can God Use Me for Big Things?

January 22, 2023 / Andrew "Fitz" Fitzgibbon

Do you ever feel ?

 

Luke 1:26 (NLT)
26 In the sixth month of Elizabeth’s pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a village in Galilee…

 

Luke 1:27-28 (NLT)
27 to a virgin named Mary.  She was engaged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of King David. 28 Gabriel appeared to her and said, “Greetings, favored woman! The Lord is with you!”

 

God highly those the world completely .

 

Luke 1:29-30 (NLT)
29 Confused and disturbed, Mary tried to think what the angel could mean.  30 “Don’t be afraid, Mary,” the angel told her, “for you have found favor with God!

 

Luke 1:31-33 (NLT)
31 You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus.  32 He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High.  The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David.  33 And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!”

 

Luke 1:34-37 (NLT)
34 Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.”  35 The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.  So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.  36 What’s more, your relative Elizabeth has become pregnant in her old age!  People used to say she was barren, but she has conceived a son and is now in her sixth month.  37 For the word of God will never fail.”

 

Luke 1:38 (NLT)
38 Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.”  And then the angel left her.

 

Your inadequacy is God’s .

 

We all need a to and a to .

 

Life is = God is

 

Life is Good = God is Near

 

Luke 7:22 (NLT)
22 Then he told John’s disciples, “Go back to John and tell him what you have seen and heard — the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.”

 

Luke 1:38 (NLT)
38 Mary responded, “I am the Lord’s servant. May everything you have said about me come true.”  And then the angel left her.
