In this powerful sermon, we dive deep into the Christmas story through the lens of Zechariah and Elizabeth. Often overlooked, their journey of barrenness, silence, and eventual breakthrough offers profound lessons on faith, divine favor, and the power of consecration.

Are you in a season where it feels like God isn’t hearing your prayers? Discover how God uses seasons of "silence" to restore our faith and prepare us for the miraculous. Learn why living righteously attracts God’s favor and how dedicating your dreams back to Him can unlock your breakthrough in the coming year.

Key Topics Covered:

The role of Zechariah and Elizabeth in the Christmas story.

Understanding the difference between God's love and God's favor.

How to handle seasons of disappointment and unanswered prayer.

The importance of consecration and "praying the right way."

Preparing your heart and vision for 2026.
