Podcasts about immanuel god with us

At Christmas, we celebrate more than the birth of Jesus. We celebrate the truth that God chose to be with us. In Matthew 1:18–25, Jesus is given the name Immanuel, meaning God with us, revealing a God who is not distant, detached, or indifferent, but present and near. Jesus came to save His people from their sins, to reveal the heart of the Father, and to dwell among us in grace and truth. The greatest gift of Christmas is not found under a tree, but in the One wrapped in swaddling clothes, who humbled Himself, took on human form, and entered our world by love and choice. Christmas declares that God goes before us, walks with us, and invites us to abide in Him in the middle of our joy, our pain, and our ordinary lives.

Even when life isn't easy, God is gently leading, shaping, and strengthening us. God with us means Jesus is present and brings comfort and growth in the moments we need Him most.

Immanuel isn't just a Christmas name—it's the story of the entire Bible in one word: God with us. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture tells a single, beautiful story of God's desire to dwell with His people. What sin broke, God promised to restore. What was lost in Eden, Jesus fulfills in the incarnation. In this message, we explore the meaning and significance of the name Immanuel, first promised in Isaiah and fully revealed in Jesus. God doesn't offer distance, strategy, or escape—He offers His presence. In our fear, uncertainty, and brokenness, God's answer has always been Himself. You'll see how Immanuel unfolds across redemptive history: God with us intended, lost, promised, near, threatened, arrived, within, and forever. Jesus is not God watching from heaven—He is God who stepped into our pain, our weakness, and our world to be with us and save us. This message reminds us that we were created for God's presence, sustained by it now, and destined to dwell with Him forever. Immanuel is not seasonal—it's eternal.

In this message, Clay Scroggins looks at the name Immanuel: God With Us in our Family Tree series and unpacks a life-giving truth: God doesn't wait for our lives or families to get cleaned up before He shows up. He steps into the mess with us. The Bible recounts Jesus' family tree - a lineage filled with outsiders, messiness, scandals, and deeply flawed people. From the lives of these complicated people, the Savior of the world descended. Jesus entered history to bring hope, grace, and redemption, not only to His family tree, but to the line of every family.

Matthew 1:23 - "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us."

The angels announced "great joy for all people," and that joy is still available today. Join us as we explore how God's presence can turn fear into wonder, and wonder into a joy worth celebrating and sharing.

Times of chaos inevitably lead to times of confusion. For the Jewish people, anxiously awaiting the Messiah, the years leading up to the birth of Christ were filled with chaos and therefore, also with much confusion. Our days are still filled with chaos and confusion. Jesus says, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt 28:20). God is with us, even in times of chaos and confusion. 

Speaker: Stephen Cave — Passage(s): Matthew 1:18-25, Isaiah 7:4-7, 14-17

The most potent reality of the Christmas Holiday is that God Himself, became human and chose to dwell with us. Rather than distance Himself from the sin of humanity, He chose to become like us and redeem us from within. When we celebrate Christmas, we're celebrating more than a baby in a manger, we're celebrating the King of Kings veiling Himself in human flesh, to rescue us all...

Hundreds of years before his birth, Isaiah prophesied that "the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." In Jesus, "Immanuel" has come – God with us. Pastor Doug Horner preaches from Matthew 1:18-25 and Isaiah 7:1-14 in this special Christmas message.

As Christmas day draws near, we know many are experiencing the joy and warmth that the holidays bring. However, we know this isn't always true for everyone. Some of us are in the midst of challenging, painful seasons; times in which we may feel alone and forgotten. Where is God in moments like this? Is there any good news to be found? Join us on Sunday as we consider.

Christmas reminds us that God does not wait for perfect conditions. He steps into real life, into conflict, chaos, and confusion. The birth of Jesus is God invading our broken world with His redeeming presence. And when Christ is present, peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of Christ.

Message from Sandeep Christian on 14 December 2025

God sent his Son into our world, so that we could enter his. Immanuel, God with us. Let us know God with us through repentance, and faith in Christ Jesus. And let us look forward to that great wedding feast of the Lamb to come, when we will truly be with God forever. Watch on youtube: https://youtube.com/live/2JECoLWB4UI

Isaiah 7:14Watch for this: A girl who is presently a virgin will get pregnant. She'll bear a son and name him Immanuel (God-With-Us).Impossible is a word that comes to mind when reading this passage. God defies, smashes, destroys what we perceive to be impossible.Even in the word impossible are the words I'm Possible.What situation in your life right now seems impossible? Think, a virgin womb. Can your dare to believe it is possible for the same God to destroy, defy and crush what you see as impossible and become God with you, where ALL things are possible?The expectant hope we celebrate this advent as we prepare our hearts for the coming of the one who makes all things new is summed up in this idea - All things are possible because God is with us - Immanuel.Let's pray: “Immanuel, Lord Jesus, We who are anxious over many things look forward to your coming among us.  To you we say, "Come Lord Jesus! Help us to receive and embrace the Hope eternal that only You bring. Emanuel, God with us. Amen”

On today's special Christmas edition of The Healing Word, Pastor Jack Morris shares a powerful message titled Immanuel, God With Us. Christmas is a reminder that the eternal God stepped into human history, taking on flesh and dwelling among us. Through the birth of Jesus Christ, heaven touched earth, and God revealed His heart of love and redemption for all people.Yet, as Pastor Jack reminds us, there lies a great chasm between God and humanity—one created by sin. That separation could only be bridged through the saving blood of Jesus. The baby born in Bethlehem came with a purpose: to live a sinless life, to die for our sins, and to rise again so that we could be reconciled to God.

We can face the impossible because God is with us.

What do you do when the valley feels endless—when the confusion, loneliness, or fear won't lift? In this message, Rich reminds us that the pain we carry doesn't push God away… it pulls us closer to Emmanuel, the God who promises to be with us. We explore why valleys are often the places we come to know God most deeply, how His strength meets us in our weakness, and why Scripture describes these low places as both battles and places of unexpected growth. If you're tired, hurting, or walking through something you never saw coming, this message will help you see that hope is growing right where you feel empty. God is nearer than you think—especially in the valley. What We Cover in This Message Why we often sense God more clearly in the valley than on the mountaintop How Psalm 84 reframes the “Valley of Weeping” as a place of strengthening Why God invites us to rely on His strength instead of our own How your mindset shapes your experience in seasons of struggle Real stories of God's presence in painful chapters of life Connect With Us Need prayer, want to sign up for baptism or surrender your life to Christ?

Life rarely goes the way we planned, but the Christmas story shows that God is powerfully at work even when everything feels confusing or out of control. This week, we'll discover how Immanuel meets us in our uncertainty with purpose and peace.

This week we will continue to explore the name Immanuel—“God with Us”—showing that God's presence is experienced in moments of suffering, as seen in the story of Hagar and Ishmael. Through God's questions, compassion, and provision for Hagar, we learn that God sees us, knows us, and brings hope even when grief/suffering can blind us to what is already there.

Main Points 1. The virgin birth proves that Jesus is fully God and fully Man. 2. The name Immanuel declares that God has come to be with us in the Person of His Son. This sermon centers on Isaiah 7:14, revealing that the virgin birth of Jesus fulfills God's promise to King Ahaz and confirms Jesus as both fully God and fully man, thereby making salvation possible. The name Emmanuel—God with us—declares that the divine presence has entered human history not through power or force, but through humility and incarnation, demonstrating God's enduring desire to dwell with His people. The message underscores that Jesus' sinless nature, secured by His virgin birth, enables Him to be the perfect sacrifice for humanity's sin, while His humanity allows Him to identify with human suffering and weakness. The sermon calls believers to trust in a promise-keeping God who has already acted decisively in Christ, offering hope, presence, and eternal life, and challenges both believers and seekers to respond in faith, knowing that God remains with us today through the Holy Spirit and will one day return to dwell with us forever.

In the first of our December Nights series of Precious Promises, we examine the first of four primary prophecies in the Old Testament, the Immanuel prophecy in Isaiah 7. Despite feeling unworthy, Isaiah had accepted a call to be sent by God, and his first recorded assignment was to speak with King Ahaz, a ruler of Judah who did not follow the Lord and was not trusting God during a time of international crisis. Both then in Judah and later when this prophecy was fulfilled in Jesus, this proclamation was a promise in the midst of fear, a miracle in the midst of trouble, and a name in the midst of loneliness. In Christ, God is both with us and for us, offering us not just His companionship but His cross, and this grace requires a response, even when we feel unworthy like Isaiah.

Isaiah prophecies about the Virgin birth of the Messiah.

Pastor Jay Ewing reflects on the name Immanuel—God with us—and the hope it brings to weary and uncertain hearts. This episode traces the promise from Isaiah to its fulfillment in Jesus, reminding us that Christ steps into our pain and walks with us toward a better country.

Step into the first week of Advent with a simple but powerful reminder: God is with us. Today we look at the meaning of “Behold” and the incredible impact of Jesus' coming, from a manger in Bethlehem to the shaping of history itself. As we begin this season together, take a moment to slow down, reflect on Immanuel, and thank God for coming near.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.

With the countdown to Christmas and New Year's begun, we set our sights on the true meaning of the season: Immanuel—God With Us. Have you ever considered how a holy, righteous, omnipotent, omniscient God could have simply said to us, “You're going to need to figure out a way to get to Me,” … or “You'll need to meet all these strict requirements to reach me.” But the very fact that we can call Him “God With Us” is a miracle. He came to us, to seek and save that which was lost. This Christmas, each time you hear the word Immanuel, think about what this actually means for you … God came after you… We don't “find God,” He finds us. We all have suffered great loss in life. Something at one point you could not imagine being broken was broken. We know what it means for our hearts to be broken and our lives to be wracked with grief, to live in a state of sorrow. For that very reason, the message, the reminder, that Immanuel—God with Us—has come for us is so important for us to focus on this season. Right now, you may be in the very beginning stages of grief, of sorrow. You may be right in the middle heartache and pain is with you every day. Or you could be coming out of a storm and have begun your journey of healing. No matter where you are, today, right now, God is with you, whether you care right now or not, whether you feel Him or not, He is with You. I want to encourage you to never confuse God allowing something to happen as God not caring for you. He never promised to take us out of this broken and fallen world, but He did promise to be with us when life breaks us and things fall apart. Listen to Isaiah's prophecy given to him by God 700 hundred years before Christ was born. (Isaiah 9:1-2, 6-7 NLT) Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever… there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with glory. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine. … For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the Lord of Heaven's Armies will make this happen! We have the privilege of living on the other side of this prophecy. Listen to these ancient words and realize what has actually happened. The Wonderful Counselor that Isaiah promised has come. The Mighty God has made Himself known. The Everlasting Father is present right now. The Prince of Peace is ready to remove the chaos, heal the hurt, and replace your sorrow with joy. What is most real about God to you right now? Wonderful Counselor Mighty God Everlasting Father Prince of Peace He is Immanuel—God with … you. Pray with me: “Immanuel, when I struggle in my hurt, when I doubt and question Your goodness, when I think no one cares, please allow me to feel Your presence in my soul, my heart, in the air I breathe, and the very life You give. Immanuel - God with us.” 

Explore the hope we find in Immanuel - God With Us - inviting us to trade our short-sighted comforts for the enduring, life-transforming hope of Christ.

We don't have to wait for a Christmas miracle to experience the presence of God. Jesus, Immanuel is already here. He is present in the past, in this very moment, and in the years to come. Today we'll look back at the ancient prophecy from Isaiah and see the difference Immanuel made in the life a teenage girl, Mary and the powerful presence of Immanuel in our lives as well! God is with you … are you with God?
