The End of the Beginning

Something new is breaking in. With the birth of John the Baptist, Luke tells the story of a turning point—the moment when the old gives way to the new and God’s promises begin to unfold in real time. Zechariah’s song, the Benedictus, announces that the dawn is coming, forgiveness is near, and the long-awaited King is on His way. In this message, we explore how seasons of transition challenge us, how God invites us to set down what’s familiar, and how the gospel calls us to embrace the new covenant in Jesus’ blood—built from the old, but a new thing.
