Do you have any kids? I recently just had my first. Thank you. Diaper donations are accepted as well as earplugs. Did you name your child or did you draw a name out of a hat? Who told you that you were expecting? Did an angel appear to you and did the angel tell you what the child’s name would be? In the first half of Luke chapter one an angel appears to two people and tells them that they will have a child against all odds and also tells them what to name their child. The first child will be the greatest person born up to that point and the second will be the greatest born ever, the Firstborn over all creation.

Thank you for tuning into the Jesus is Godcast. Feel free to reach me with prayers, questions, or comments at jesse@jesusisgodcast.com. In this episode, we will examine the first 38 verses of Luke chapter one and consider the following questions:

1. Luke sought to write an orderly account about Jesus in the common language of the day. What does this tell us about the Bible?
2. Both Zacharias and Mary were greeted by the angel Gabriel. Zacharias was troubled and fearful (12) and Mary was troubled at his saying (29). Why do you think they reacted in a troubled way to the visitations? How did they respond afterwards?
3. What does verse 37 mean, “For with God nothing will be impossible?”
