Heaven Meets Earth Week 1
What happens when heaven breaks through into our earthly existence? This powerful exploration of Luke chapter 1 invites us into the story of Zechariah and Elizabeth, a righteous couple who faced decades of silence from God despite their faithfulness. We discover that breakthrough isn't just about getting what we want when we want it—it's about God breaking through our preconceived notions, our disappointments, and our limited understanding of who He is. The narrative challenges us to examine how we respond when God seems silent: Do we lean in or check out? Do we allow our disappointments to make us bitter or better? Through the miraculous announcement of John the Baptist's birth to an elderly, barren couple, we see that God is the God of the impossible, working on His timeline rather than ours. The message confronts our tendency to conflate God's approval with our blessings, reminding us that God's silence is never indifference. When heaven invaded the souls of Zechariah and Elizabeth, everything changed—not because their circumstances were perfect, but because they finally saw God's greater plan. This is our invitation too: to experience heaven meeting earth in our own lives, to see Jesus rightly perhaps for the first time, and to understand that the greater miracle always happens in God's timing, not ours.
