  • God With Us At Christmas | Christmas Stories | Week 4
    Dec 21 2025

    We trace Isaiah’s promise of Emmanuel through Matthew’s Gospel and show how Jesus’ four names answer fear, division, and doubt during the Christmas season. Presence, not performance, sits at the center: grace given, peace established, and hope made concrete in a person.

    • Isaiah’s prophecy to a nation in darkness
    • Emmanuel as the promise of presence
    • Grace as a gift received not earned
    • Government on his shoulders as true authority
    • Wonderful Counselor as wisdom beyond human limits
    • Mighty God as power restrained and victorious
    • Everlasting Father as faithful, unfailing care
    • Prince of Peace as authority that calms and confronts
    • Invitation to respond in prayer and trust

    There’s people right over here on the floor. Maybe the person next to you, maybe you just need to say, hey, listen. I need someone to pray with me.
