On the fourth Sunday of Advent, Rev. Tom Are follows the Angel Gabriel, who is very busy this time of year. First Gabriel visits with Zechariah in the middle of his prayers.

On the third Sunday of Advent, Rev. Tom Are turns to John’s father, Zechariah. Zechariah is visited by an angel who announces John’s expected birth. Although, it was not what Zechariah had expected to hear, probably not for a long time. He and his wife Elizabeth were old and had probably laid down the dream of having a child. What is noticeable however, is that the Angel finds Zechariah in the temple. Even when his life had not gone the way he hoped, Zechariah kept worshipping God. He gives ...
