Luke 1

 

1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile a narrative of the things that have been accomplished among us, 

 

2 just as those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and ministers of the word have delivered them to us, 

 

3 it seemed good to me also, having followed all things closely for some time past, to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, 

 

4 that you may have certainty concerning the things you have been taught.

 

5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah, of the division of Abijah. And he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 

 

6 And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. 

 

7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and both were advanced in years.

 

8 Now while he was serving as priest before God when his division was on duty, 

 

9 according to the custom of the priesthood, he was chosen by lot to enter the temple of the Lord and burn incense. 

 

10 And the whole multitude of the people were praying outside at the hour of incense. 

 

11 And there appeared to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 

 

12 And Zechariah was troubled when he saw him, and fear fell upon him. 

 

13 But the angel said to him, “Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

Philippians 2

 

14 Do everything without complaining or arguing 

 

15 so that you will be blameless and pure, children of God without any fault. But you are living with evil people all around you, who have lost their sense of what is right. Among those people you shine like lights in a dark world, 

 

16 and you offer them the teaching that gives life. So I can be proud of you when Christ comes again. You will show that my work was not wasted—that I ran in the race and won.

 

 

 

What is trying to stop you from serving?
