We are turning to small life in cities this morning. I'm in a way to Springs. I took off some of the movements in the Revelation Series where we ended up with the songs in the throne room. Over the last few weeks and as I was thinking about inventions and take a ship around. I move to think of the songs of advance and there are four of them and we're going to run with Zechariah song this morning ladies over the speed finishing up when the ants I would have just distressed indie songs. I don't got friends over this time when we come to the first of these is Zechariah song in Luke chapter 1 and 2 Reeds I have from verse 67 through 280. Does Zechariah so father of John the Baptist? I'm in Luke 1 verse 67

his father Zechariah

was filled with the Holy Spirit and prophesying praise be to the Lord. The god of Israel because he has come and has redeemed his people. He is raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of a 7 deviance as he said Chris Wood profits of when I go salvation from our enemies on from the hands of all those who hate us to show Mercy to our fathers. And to remember His Holy Covenant. The oath is worth her father Abraham to rescue as soon as I kind of our enemies and turn a place to stay away from with her fear and Holiness and righteousness before them all of our days and you my child will be called a prophet of the most high for you will look one before the Lord to prepare the way for him to give his people and all the age of Salvation through the Forgiveness of our sins because of the Tender Mercies over Gorge fire fix the Rising Sun Will Come to Us from Heaven to Shane and Drew his living in darkness and in the shadow of death gatorfeet into the path of peace. Kim strong and Spirits until they left in the desert swing appear publicly to Israel. May the Lord bless. Reading to us this morning for the spray in Spring.

Lottery recognizing renewal that's when you came Psalms eruptives Psalms fluid from people songs for from heaven and so we praise we come to one of these songs this morning Lord. That's. Kris which erupts within our hearts also. And we're it's find a joy at this moment the joy at this time. It Ain't No Liking that gorgeous wishes Jesus as an arm, I just pray in Jesus name amen

You may hear the practice of inactivity green one has weakness. We do this if you want to sing along if I get boring to sing along to that Buffet, it's good. I used to think it was Mike asked to preach everything oats off a passage of scripture. I know, you know after much worse than this is an impossible thing. I'm to share simplink where the Lord leads and a text and to be willing to Layton, but she'll school so that we just hear what is needed for this moment.

I remember reading a sermon given by Hilton Boston lloyd-jones, great expository preachers off the middle part of the last century. He was then Westminster chapel and London for many years. I took a whole salmon a whole sermon to preach on it. Between two. What's and I haven't quite got to that extent yet, but I make it there one day but at Falls left us. Suppose lights to the Romans. I'll text this morning's the song of Zechariah. I need a song out of the time of the birth. Welfare office on John he will prepare the way for Jesus and the song is beautiful and it is full of threats and color and joy that I fully intended to bring you this morning on informants and forgiveness and all these good things, but the Lord to stalk me simply at the moments before the song before the song silence when God is doing a new thing. And Zechariah response in one way for many of the people of God across the course of the gospels will respond in a different way. Under this what satellite does the Lord has led me to this morning. How do you say cry comes out of the silence? Why isn't the way he names the Walk of God in his life?

But others will bring Durango. Under fear and distrust will see it through the gospels Zechariah brings a naming of the work of God In This Moment in his life as the ending of The Silence.

Since this is about how we live with silence and I would come out of Silence with God.

But I still the mother will be used to love Felix Lewis to the Hamilton mausoleum.

Just driving across the Plate Atlanta area for Hamilton polish used to be respond during 1960s Park. And what is the mausoleum for the Dukes of Hamilton were put is the square building with a large dog for many years. It was known as the building with the longest echo in the UK 15 seconds something acre for 15 seconds. Until recently when does university project with five shots big huge underground storage facility built in 1938, you haven't forgotten and they measure the neck of 112 seconds the record of Hamilton Mausoleum remember standing in the mausoleum and speaking and said it keeps coming by and it's impossible. I think come to Zechariah song without getting along ankles. I told me some playing the Y words in the word City Express in the song from the Old Testament. But in the way that this song Arise in the lips of Zechariah.

There is a challenge to us and how we will respond to go to water is a chance at life with the whole people of God. In the time leading up to this song. I'm a weirdo analogies always break them up. Then at some point can't be pushed but there's something and said that I was coming to the song. The questions goes people who was around them and do a service to hear know that when there is a time of Silence when there is a pause. I want to see a pregnant. My business to look for at this point, but when Zakaria comes out to the silence the way compared to silence And ask questions of us when we are waiting until it's purposes when we are also and movements of Silence sick. I got something that many of those are I don't feel to do and maybe it's something we've failed to do also in the song that is promised and forgiveness. And by the grace of God will come to these over the course of this the other that have songs as well. But there is this first challenge coolants naming the Walk of Gods and they tried us. I made it feel to do it. Anna is the starting point of singing this song of the but I don't want us to get to the starting point of singing these songs of the Advent this morning.

What is a part in The Echoes between Zechariah and the Belcourt movies are taking place through this time? They can I give us a way to respond when it is waiting for God and for all the things I've taken place in sector as life. And the things are taking place in the fake picture of goats people at this time the echo off each other and say that shows us this way to respond for men are feeling lost is possum. That is a swing through it that it's a what is given by God's there's a time of Silence of false. The word comes to be An Executor speaks Hindi names for God is doing. That's the part that from zika die for go back into stock of of Luke's gospel from Fast Five. Remix, Zechariah is a prophet is a priest alone. Stay this way for Elizabeth are all done at the are for the rules are on the new children in the temple one day and some of this this message of the Angel Stadium an award is given by God from verse 13 says Don't Be Afraid Zechariah Your prayers have your wife Elizabeth will bear your son you call in Jonesboro this picture of this this priest Zakaria is been in the temple is there and Papas and the most of all the things to do as one prayer that keeps are coming through his house. This Lord. Will you give me a son you give me a son. Give me a chance. Miss Angel comes and says your prayers are answered. Ninja katanas Pizza look like the work of George was about to become the Baptist. But John's First Response this Angel beside of us one of us.

I moved my wife is old for that stuff. You told her that I have a high speed chase happen.

And because of that surprised that response which I'm sure we would all have a response because of lack of trusting that this could happen this amazing thing could happen. They cry stools by they just as a speaker.

Zechariah comes into this time of style Anne Elizabeth his wife Falls pregnant and it messes up pregnancy made it comes to see it at Carson workout in Jesus and the song was turned to on the 77th. Mary song is sung and then when Elizabeth gives birth and repeat the name the trail princess the name is to be joined. This is John.

Do we surrender to the silence Zechariah? Stop Lyin lyrics this tablet his name is Jordan. His name is Jordan and his silence is broken. And it begins to praise God and is filled with the Holy Spirit sings the song This prophetic word on the life of his son. John-John as a witness to the Lord the one he will prepare the way and sacred name for God is doing Are the names of some Hindi songs for God is doing in this moment for 4. Says. There's a working by God is a timer silence and what comes to be and say can I break the silence and names the Walk of Gods?

I've returned to the bigger picture of what God is doing amongst his people in these events. We see the same opossum but apartment where the fourth light name in the work of God In This Moment is all these events in the life of Zechariah. Let's walk to the spirit that the words given to the second. I intimated within months of each other this sudden joyful movement of God through his spirit is taking place after centuries of Silence. No prophetic what has been here since the prophet Malachi are they the same time as Nehemiah the 400 years before tax return to Jeremy want to Jerusalem after Exile and stuck at the Rookery building and there's a reward given to Molokai. And there was a long silence.

It wasn't one Kevin Malachi.

What's the end of the Old Testament broad Strokes Malachi 3:3? I will send my messenger who will prepare the way before me. And then suddenly the Lord you are sick and will come to his Temple. The one you decide will come says the Lord Almighty. Malachi 4:5 sassy, I will send the Prophet Elijah to you before that great and Dreadful day of the Lord comes you will turn the hearts of the parents to the children will turn the hearts of the go to the parents or else I will come and strike the lawn with total Destruction. That's a good one. But this final prophetic word before this longtime of Silence lies with a waterfall. Coming to his people a Messenger will be sent to prepare the way of the Lord one who is like Elijah.

Not silence is broken. Long silence to the people of God. It is broken and the temple in Jerusalem with the water cycle does water return will be great in the sight of the Lord is people filled with the Holy Spirit in the verse 17 of Luke's gospel chapter 1. This is the description that is is given to inches is that could I just as he will go on before the Lord in spirit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the pins to the children and The Disappearance of them to the wisdom of the right chest to make ready a people prepared for the Lord's. Enjoying this this trailer Zechariah is described as a messenger of Molokai. The Elijah who is coming the one who will prepare the way of the Lord. What's which ankylosis radio. Mark's Casa Ramos gospel John the Baptist prepares away says the beginning of the good news about Jesus the Messiah the Son of God as it is written inside the profit. I will send my messenger ahead of you. You prepare your way voice of one calling the desert prepare the way for the Lord on to join the box that appears in the world and is preparing the we fixing to repentance for the for the only Molokai spoken of This Moment by Asia saw the one who would prepare the way for the Lord and the long silence. The long silence is broken in the process of John the Baptist and said that I was a way to come out of the silence.

Wait a minute issue of the note take out.

I could I could say could I have reacted to that silence. I was place to put them it could have been angry. I could have distrusted the store to me Tom Waits. He could have refused to name what God was doing because it didn't go the way he plans.

All these Emotions lyrics are trying to wake people were living through this alone Silence of God in the back of picture to his anger that is distrust that is working. Go to work in one way refusing to see what can goats weigh and say that I chose as her to respond Act of the silences of gods it is they hear the word of the Lord. And it's just a neighbor as taking place here in the song is about.

Number of our evening events over the ultimate funeral this for people have been sharing on the name of God's work in the lights at this point in finding praising its being able to name the work of God. No, I need the new year. We have some more people coming. And are you going to share in my life? What is God doing in shaping in my life an image? There are things we need time and space to recognize what God has been doing. But there's also this joyful gifts. Open Gable to say at this moment in my life and this and this morning. This is how God is working in my life. And I named it. I guess thanks for that.

But a what is Kevin silence is broken in the world.

Part of Zacharias Journey to the Moon with the naming rights in this destruction oven repair 67 just before the song filled with the Holy Spirit sings and whatever else is doing science, whatever totes and anchors and frustrations of come the silence just as they came in the bigger picture of ghost people in longer silence. This is the starting point in the song that he is in despair.

What pieces are the meanings and he brought a beautiful what a couple of days ago Suzuki University. No, no vowels syzygy syzygy National with the SIM card that the Call of Duty and anticipate that coin didn't say it.

They are throwing one alignment. Co syzygy. The only one place it comes from the Greek for you get two horses with you together and cutting together and go in the same direction. Nashville sightseeing places Zechariah zika is in this place where he is if you remember bike to Revelation and join us in this but he's taking it to the throne room and he sees what's happening and he sees what's happening with God. Plans and Betty's Burgers taking things and Zacharias in the same place. He is he is a yolks to go to this moment. He is in the spirits. He he he he sees what God is doing. health and spirits

I just like you she is at home with the Lord. What is throne room is ceased what's going on? I mean sings there to that. They're filled with the Holy Spirit as a Christ sings of the blessings of the Lord of what he is doing sings have a son. He is preparing the way for the Lord and He sings of the work of the Lord.

I would go to silent in the lights. When there are hoses. How we feel God's presence? But over live by the promise Season north or fulfillment. What is a Horton all of God's? It's our hearts like Zechariah that sees this woman as waiting in pregnancy. Waiting for the water God so that we can name it with a happens. What is it. Why did our heart of Israel that is no longer looking for go to make a difference? What is our expectation? The goat is about to walk. Are we looking for the ways in which we can name the work of God out oranges? I'm looking for the way so we can sing. All for God is doing or do we wait in silence and simply say nothing changes nothing.

Jeremiah 29:11

What are you fantastic? Lines from God that is given to the people in Exile and I could give him that when I first stepped up and I feel good to preach at Motorola first day some the last 2011 and it will fit for me to read it says this is what the Lord says.

I will be fun by you. I took some two years for that positive people have there is a way to wait faithful in the silence looking to go towards a name in the Walk of God on the lights when we see it. I was with a friend through the week. He was suffering from early onset Parkinson's and I asked him what helps and it makes of all the frustrations always and he said small victories small victories everyday small victories. And maybe you are in a time of Silence. Maybe you're at time of waiting in the work of God. Maybe you have been given what's before and go to spoken to you.

Not put through what she became silence the end of the waiting line and singing and then praised. It doesn't matter the starting point in the waiting. What matters is how we finish it and Zechariah calls us name the work of God in our lives.

I need the silence.

Take time to hear God's promises over your legs. Name the work of God upon you for this moment.
