we are the people of God.
anymore it’s hard to get people to to serve,
people who are Going to grow in faith need to be able to be counted on when things aren’t just peachy.
our witness is when things happen to us, not because we display some “Image” of plastic piety.
this is why we need the word of God to penetrate our minds and transform our thinking.
we need relationships with real brothers and sisters.
service is a great way to get to know people.

he will be great in the eyes of God and of man.
he will be set apart in the midst of a people who are set apart (sacrifice, is sometimes part of the christian life).
John the baptist, Ministered in the spirit of Elijah, to turn many of the Children of Isreal back to The Father.
As parents we need to turn our hearts back toward are Children.
what are some reasons we are hearts are not turned:
shame.
fear
sorrow
pain.
what can we do?
we can ask God to deal with our shame.
we can take our divided hearts to God.
we can ask God to deal with our sarrow.
we can ask Him to deal with our pain.
4. Godly People are real people and have
doubts.
Zechariah had huge doubts.
so God allowed him to be silent.
Sabbaticals are sometimes God sent.
they give us a time to deal with God in silence.
Elizabeth responds differently to God then her husband.
they served in their reproach, and they rejoiced in their burden lifting.
