Podcasts about God with us

Today's Episode: Isaiah 7:14 Seven hundred years before the first Christmas night, the prophet Isaiah spoke a promise that would change the world. He foretold the birth of a child who would be called Immanuel. When the angel appeared to Joseph in Matthew 1, he reached back to Isaiah's words and gave us the meaning of that powerful name: God with us. Christmas is more than a story about a baby in a manger. It is the moment God moved from dwelling in a temple to walking among His people. The Creator stepped into creation. Because of the manger, God chose nearness over distance and relationship over ritual. That promise still stands today. God is with you right where you are. You are never truly alone, never abandoned, and never beyond His reach. In this episode, we reflect on the miracle of Immanuel and the comforting truth that God is only a prayer away. Jesus in the manger: God with us.

Where do you go when God feels distant—even though everyone says He's “with you”?In this honest episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Bob Marvel to talk about the deeply personal and sometimes confusing reality of Immanuel—God with us. Bob shares about seasons when God felt hard to sense, dismantling the myth that pastors have a “fast pass” to God. Through stories, theology, and lived experience, he offers insight on God's nearness, spiritual dryness, false assumptions about faith, and how to meet God where you actually are—not where you think you should be. Whether you're longing for God, walking through doubt, or feeling spiritually hungry, this episode will remind you that God has not moved—and He is closer than you think.Meet Pastor Bob MarvelPastor Bob Marvel has served as Senior Pastor of Cornwall Church for nearly 30 years and comes from a third-generation ministry family.

12/14/25 Immanuel: Jesus is God With Us, Near Us, for Us by Heritage Church

In a world full of darkness and despair, Advent is an annual reminder that we have real reasons for hope, that true peace is possible, that there is a full and lasting joy, and that true love exists because we have a God who's on mission to dwell with his people. Pastor Philip Chew continues our Advent series with a sermon from Ezekiel 37:15-28.

We hear the name Immanuel a lot at Christmastime, and it is a name rich with meaning. It translates to “God with us.” This name was to be given to Jesus when He was born. The real miracle of Christmas is that God came to Earth in human flesh and lived among us. Let's find out the many ways this is so miraculous—here, on Foreshadows Report!Learn more about Steve and his books at https://SteveMillerResources.comProduced by Unmutable™

God With Us - Joy by Lifehouse

Speaker: Scott Martinsoutheastcc.org/messages

No matter who you are, what you've lived through, or where you've come from, the story of how God relentlessly pursues us has the power to change our lives. He chose to come down to our messy, broken world, to prove His great love. Rather than us reaching up to heaven, heaven came down to earth. --- In the good and the bad, the mountains and the valleys, God is with you. Tune in to Week Two of God With Us as Pastor Skyler touches on how even when we feel all alone, God is with us, and He gives us hope.

Hope Church - Never Alone. Never Forgotten_ God With Us - 12_14_25 by Hope Church Utah

Guest: John ChisumMinistry: Nashville Christian SongwritersPosition: FounderSong: God With UsWebsites: johnchisum.com, nashvillechristiansongwriters.com

The story of the Messiah's arrival continues with a juxtaposition of two cities (Jerusalem and Bethlehem) and two kings (Herod and Jesus). King Herod desperately tries to hang on to his illegitimate authority as the news of the long-awaited Messianic King spreads through his city like wildfire. As his response to this revelation reveals his insecurity, a faithful response is ironically displayed by pagan astrologers from a Gentile nation, who follow a star to Bethlehem, where they worship the new King of the Jews.

Life is messy. Challenges and circumstances come up that cause us great pain; however, as followers of Jesus His presence changes how we can respond to these challenges.

Did you know “Joy to the World” was not originally written as a Christmas carol? Isaac Watts wrote it as a poem inspired by Psalm 98, a picture of all creation celebrating the day when Christ comes to reign and when sin and sorrow are finally gone. Even so, the joy he described, the joy of a world made new under its rightful King, traces back to a quiet field where angels announced good news of great joy for all people. I hope you will join us as we look at that joy together this Sunday.

Week 3: God With UsMain Passages: Hebrews 2:14-18, Matthew 1:22-23, Hebrews 4:14-26Now that Jesus has taken on human nature, what does that mean for our relationship with Him? The Incarnation opens up a door for the Lord to be with us in a brand new way. He can sympathize with our weaknesses. He prays and intercedes for us. He is our faithful high priest. Christmas invites us into a truly intimate relationship with God. Will we receive such a gift? No wonder the angels are singing!

The post God With Us appeared first on Living Fellowship.

When life feels loud, confusing, or exhausting, God often uses “wilderness” seasons—not to punish you, but to reset you, strip away what doesn't belong, and draw you into deeper relationship. In this message, Pastor Ken walks us through Elijah's turning point in 1 Kings 19, showing how God restores the tired, re-centers our perspective, and gives clear next steps—because you're never alone, even when it feels like you are.

Text: Matthew 1:18-25

In this message, we explore the breathtaking truth at the center of Christmas: God became human and dwelt among us. Walking through John 1:1–18, we linger on the mystery of the incarnation and what it means that Jesus fully entered the human experience—our weakness, suffering, sorrow, and joy. Far from being distant or unrelatable, Jesus is the God who understands, sympathizes, and draws near in our pain. Because God is with us, we are invited to approach him with confidence, honesty, and hope.

What does it truly mean to have "God With Us And In Us"? This profound truth is the foundation of our worship. In this message, Pastor Mark Butler dives into Romans 12:1-2 , revealing that our "spiritual worship" is not just singing, but the daily, continuous act of presenting our bodies as a living sacrifice. Are you conforming to the world's patterns, or are you transformed by the renewing of your mind? Learn how the presence of God within you gives you the power to live a life that is truly holy, acceptable, and honoring to Him.

Message from Tony Ledet on December 14, 2025

In a world filled with tragedy and suffering, we naturally wonder where God is in the darkness. John 1:1-3 reveals that our God is not like the limited gods of other religions, but is the Creator of all things who brought everything into existence from nothing. While darkness exists in our world through external evil, internal struggles, and relational pain, God didn't remain distant from our suffering. Jesus Christ, the Word who was with God and was God, entered our darkness by taking on human flesh and experiencing our pain. He is the true light that dispels darkness and gives life to all who believe. We are called to both see this light by trusting in Christ and share this light by bearing witness to others in our spheres of influence.https://www.ankenyfree.church

Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of God, became flesh and dwelt among us so that we might know the truth, receive His grace, and be saved.
