Peace on Earth - Fear Not, God Can Do Miracles, Part 1

  • Summary

  • Fear is a powerful emotion that often eclipses our hope and joy. In this program, Chip explains how we can experience God’s peace that transcends our circumstances by studying the angel Gabriel’s conversation with a Hebrew teenage girl. Hear how Mary’s faith—despite her doubts, fears, and anxieties—set her up to be used supernaturally by God.

    Main Points What Immediately Comes to Mind When You Hear the Word Christmas?
    • The Enemy’s Tactic = “Reframe Reality”
    • Paul’s Dire Warning --2 Timothy 3:2
    • A fresh look at a familiar story --Galatians 4:4, Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 61
    The greatest miracle in human history --Luke 1:26-29
    • Summary = An unlikely plan, with an unlikely person, from a despised place.
    A supernatural birth foretold --Luke 1:30-33

    Mary’s response to God’s Word for her --Luke 1:34-38
