December 22, 2024, Advent 4C: "Unknown Power"

When Mary visits Elizabeth, she may not have known what kind of greeting she would receive. Indeed, Mary may have had to leave town as news of her pregnancy spread. Would her cousin welcome her? Or condemn her? How does Elizabeth and Mary’s Spirit-given faith give them power to not only face the world’s challenges, but also to give shape to God’s future? And how can our faith give shape to the world? Pastor David preaches “Unknown Power” based on Luke 1:39-55.
