Fourth Week of Advent – This week we hear the story of the angel Gabriel visiting Mary to tell her about God’s plan for her to bear the child Jesus. In this story, we hear echoes of God’s promises to King David. What can we learn about God’s abiding presence with us by listening to the story of David next to the story of Mary, whose son is depicted as inheriting David’s throne? Stefan Swanson preaches on Luke 1:26-38
