Knowing Who You Are helps you step up and be who God has called you to be.
Christmas celebrations don't always live up to our expectations and the season seems to come and go so quickly. But here's the good news, if we look behind all our yearly festivities to the reason we celebrate Christmas we find a message that never disappoints and a person that always exceeds the expectations of those who believe in him. John tells us why in the prologue to his Gospel about Jesus - John 1:1-18. Let's explore it together.

The list of songs in the 60s about loneliness is endless, because it's such a familiar emotion. That's why the Angel's birth announcement of Jesus as ‘Immanuel- God With Us' brings hope. We're desperate for the comfort, courage & strength found in His promise: “I am with you.”
Matthew 1:21-23, Luke 2:1-14 • Matt Glezos
Let the sleigh bells ring! I love Christmas. Let the carolers sing. The more Santas the merrier. I don't complain...
Chris shares the miracle of God coming down to this earth to be with us, and how wonderful it is to be able to connect with Immanuel on a daily basis and use the skill of "Godsight" (Skill 13) to see what he sees when he looks at us and the people around us.

Can you think of a time you felt particularly close to God? For me, I often experience Him in nature. There's a mountain in North Carolina my family has spent a significant amount of time on. From it, you can look down on clouds and the Blue Ridge mountains and it never fails to bring me into a deeper awareness of God's presence with me.2. It can look a lot of ways, but as you think of your “God moment,” would you pray a prayer of appreciation (out-loud) of who the Lord is for you and your appreciation of His character. Perhaps one of the names of God has held special significance for you this season – thank Him for that.3. Now, knowing that He is Immanuel, notice where He is with you at this moment. The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus to us, and so ask the Spirit for an awareness of God's presence with you.4. Ask Jesus directly what He wants you to know, or what His good plans for healing are for you today.For more information about this Advent season, visit our Christmas at Fellowship page.

Romans 10:9
1. What exactly did Jesus empty Himself of to take on human form?2. Did Jesus forfeit any of His deity when He appeared as a man?3. Was Jesus' humanity only in effect while He was on earth? Did Jesus take off His humanity when he ascended back into heaven?4. What was the most humbling thing you had to do? How did it make you feel after you did that?
Today, Pastor Steve explored the profound truth of Matthew 1:23, emphasizing the significance of "Immanuel: God with us," and how this declaration affirms Jesus' claims of deity and His divine attributes, culminating in the power of His resurrection. Through this message, we were reminded of the intimate presence of God in our lives and the hope that comes from knowing Jesus as our Savior. Join Pastor Steve as we study God's Word.

The season of Christmas is a memorable time for many people. The special holidays and decorations accompany festive gatherings and events, especially those events centered around the incarnation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Yet, some people do not see Christmas as a time of celebration but a season of pain. Consumer Christmas and social media consistently remind us about the items we lack or the events we missed. Many people experience Christmas as a season of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. What truths can we remember during the Christmas season and the rest of the year to fight against depression, isolation, and worry? In this week's episode of the Biblical Counseling Podcast, Pastor Jeff Christianson draws the listener's attention to one of the greatest miracles ever performed: the incarnation. The Christmas season is a special time for reflecting upon the descent of the Son of God into our fallen world as God's Son took on human nature. Fully God and fully man, Jesus Christ is Immanuel, God with us. Pastor Jeff reminds us that the truths of Christmas should stagger us. Not only did the Son of God humble himself in an unfathomable manner, he promises to remain with us and abide within us. Jesus says in John 14:3, “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” Biblical counselors must remind counselees of God's amazing promise to abide in his people forever. Christ's condescension and his perpetual identification with us in our humanity will forever bear witness to Christ's continual presence among his people. All other religions propose that we may dwell with God only after producing enough works to gain his pleasure; only Christianity speaks of a God who dwells among the lowly and secures as salvation at his own expense. At Christmas time, many sing the beloved hymn “O Come, O Come, Immanuel,” O come, O come, Immanuel, and ransom captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Immanuel shall come to you, O Israel. There are many people who struggle with feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and depression from being isolated from others. They may feel as if they are mourning in lonely exile. For example, many people who survive suicide attempts concede that they felt alone and believed that no one cared about them. While biblical counselors cannot promise to make themselves available to every counselees whenever a need arises, counselors can point counselees to the one who never leaves them nor forsakes them. The truth of Christ's perpetual presence among his people comforts the distressed soul. Furthermore, counselees can find repose from the fact that Christ understands feelings of loneliness and isolation, as he experienced abandonment of his friends at his most pressing hour. Struggling Christians can identify with their crucified savior who intimately knows the feelings of loneliness. Christians are responsible for making themselves available to those around them. During the business of the holiday season, events and checklists can overshadow real people who need company or a phone call. This holiday season or any time of year, who needs the comfort of your presence? Who needs your condescension into the mess of their lives? As Christians, do we model Christ's willingness to open himself up to the pain and suffering of others at the personal cost to himself? We who are rich in Christ, do we make ourselves poor out of love for others? Want to learn more?

The older I get, the harder it seems to get Christmas right. It's “complicated” to sort through all the moving parts and expectations of others. While I can't manage it well, or just won't, I can at any given time pause to remember what this sacred season is all about. Join me, the author of The Mystery of History, for a short reflection on Immanuel, which means “God with us.” I also have a historical re-enactment video of myself dressed up like Cleopatra—because she has an interesting connection to Bethlehem! I won't give it away here, but you can watch through the YouTube link provided below.https://youtu.be/aHpjbA30az4
What if you could experience the divine presence in your everyday life? Join as we unravel the profound beauty behind the name Immanuel, "God with us," by reflecting on the scriptures from Isaiah 7:14 and John 1:1-5. We discuss how Jesus chose to live the fullness of human experience, revealing the Father's extravagant love and becoming a living testament to God's heart. As we navigate through the joys and trials of the season, we offer insights into how Emmanuel remains with us, offering comfort and understanding in every circumstance. Whether you're feeling the festive spirit or facing challenges, be inspired by the assurance that Jesus, who experienced hunger, thirst, joy, and sorrow, continues to express God's love actively. Listen to this soulful reflection, and find solace in knowing that God loves you immensely and remains with you, whatever the season brings. This episode promises to enrich your understanding of the true gift of Christmas and invites you to recognize Jesus' enduring presence in your life.
Isaiah 7:14 Watch 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”

In week 1 of our Christmas series, The Greatest Story in the Universe, Pastor Jeff Vines explores the profound truth behind the Christmas story. Against the backdrop of growing skepticism about celebrating Christmas, he confronts objections from groups that deny Jesus's divinity and challenges us to rediscover the wonder of Jesus' birth—not just as an historical event, but as the turning point of history. If Jesus is merely a baby in a crib, nothing changes. But if He is Immanuel—God With Us, then everything changes. Join us as we begin this transformative journey into the greatest story ever told.Did you decide to follow Jesus after listening to this?
