In Miracles in the Margins – Part 3: Anna, Pastor Drew Webb explores Luke 2:36–38 and highlights the life of Anna, a widow and prophetess whose lifelong faithfulness positioned her to recognize the Messiah. Though mentioned in only three verses, Anna’s story offers profound insight into God’s heart for those who feel overlooked and marginalized.
This sermon examines Anna’s identity, spiritual gifting, calling, and response to seeing Jesus. Her devotion to worship, prayer, and fasting demonstrates unwavering faith developed over decades of faithful obedience. Anna’s sensitivity to the Holy Spirit allowed her to recognize God’s redemptive work in what appeared to be an ordinary moment at the temple.
Ultimately, Anna’s response—gratitude and bold proclamation—challenges believers today to remain faithful, attentive, and thankful. This message encourages Christians to trust that God sees their faithfulness, uses their obedience, and calls them to joyfully proclaim the hope found in Jesus Christ.
