Summary:

The sermon "God Is Never Late" by Pastor Vicki Harrison is based on the biblical passage from Luke chapter one, verses five through 25. The sermon revolves around the story of Zachariah and Elizabeth, a couple who were righteous in the sight of God but were unable to conceive a child due to their old age.

Zachariah, a priest, is chosen by lot to enter the temple and burn incense before the Lord. While in the temple, the angel Gabriel appears to him and delivers the message that his wife, Elizabeth, will bear a son named John. This child will play a significant role in preparing the way for the Lord.

Zachariah expresses doubt, asking how he can be sure of this since he and his wife are old. In response, the angel informs him that he will be unable to speak until the prophecy comes true. Meanwhile, Elizabeth becomes pregnant, and when their son is born, Zachariah affirms the name given by the angel—John. At this moment, Zachariah's speech is restored, and he praises God for fulfilling His promise.

Pastor Vicki Harrison emphasizes the unexpected nature of God's plans, drawing parallels between the challenges faced by Zachariah and Elizabeth and those encountered by people in contemporary life. The sermon encourages trust in God's faithfulness, even when circumstances seem discouraging or unplanned. It conveys the message that God's timing is perfect, and His purposes prevail, bringing hope and joy even in unexpected situations. The sermon concludes with an invitation to approach the communion table, reflecting on the presence of God and anticipating His transformative work in the hearts of the listeners.
