Of No Great Renown:
An Old Couple From the Hills
Luke 1:5-25
Rev. Mark Pattie

Advent Sermon Series
Of No Great Renown

Nobodies from nowhere always have God’s full attention and often serve as God’s special agents for his purposes in the world. Like most people, we can get caught up in thinking otherwise, but God delights in accomplishing great things through people the world would never expect. As we look toward Christmas, we will be exploring the stories of ordinary, everyday people who found themselves a part of something much greater than they or anyone around them imagined. Their stories have a lot to teach us about how we, too, whoever we are and wherever we come from, can experience the joy of participating in God’s wonderful, redemptive work in our world.
