About this sermon

Pastor Greg takes a detailed look at the announcement by the angel Gabriel to Zacharias that he and his wife would be the parents of John the Baptist. Greg points out some characteristics of Zacharias that made him usable by God for this task, and how God responds to Zacharias' moment of unbelief.
