IMMANUEL 1: God With Us ALWAYS

Christmas celebrates Immanuel, meaning God with us, revealing that Jesus' birth wasn't a last-minute plan but the fulfillment of promises made for thousands of years. Even during 400 years of silence between the Old and New Testaments, God was preparing the world for the Messiah. Simeon and Anna, two faithful believers who waited their entire lives, recognized baby Jesus as the promised Savior. Their stories demonstrate that God has always been faithful to His people and has been working in your story too, even before you knew Him. Christmas proves that God keeps His promises and remains with us through every season of life. (Preached by Steve Coots at YTH group on 12-3-25)
