Scripture: Luke 1:5–25

1. Zechariah questions the angel, saying, “How shall I know this?” (v. 18). Why is this a problematic response in light of the Old Testament understanding of God’s ability to do the seemingly impossible?

2. Zechariah is described as a righteous man, but he still stumbled in unbelief. What are some ways in which you are tempted to not believe the promises of God today?

3. Is it doubting to pray, “If it be Your will”? Why or why not?
