Sermon - December 18, 2016 - Prepare the Way, Immanuel Comes!

The sermon for the Fourth Sunday in Advent, December 18, 2016. The sermon text is based Matthew 1:18-25

 

Today's Focus: In the Bible, names often have special meaning. In the book of Isaiah, the prophet foretold that the coming Messiah would be named "Immanuel". That name means "God is with us". How meaningful! It describes perfectly what we find in Bethlehem's manger: God, wrapped in flesh, that he might dwell with us in our home. And because of what Immanuel did in his death and resurrection, we can joyfully look forward to the day when we will go to dwell with him in his home.
