Praise | Zechariah's Benedictus

What if silence isn't punishment, but preparation? When Zechariah, a priest whose voice was his vocation, encounters an angel in the temple, his skepticism leads to months of silence. But through this silence, other voices emerge - Elizabeth's prophetic declaration, Mary's revolutionary song, and ultimately Zechariah's own transformed understanding of God's expanding covenant work.
Join us for Week 2 of our Advent series "Songs of the First Christmas" as we explore how making room for unexpected voices prepares us for Christ's coming.
