This week the youth at Emanuel will be blessing everyone with the annual children’s program! Please come and support our young people as they present the Christmas message in a delightful and powerful way. Preschoolers through 8th graders have been working hard to give everyone a heart-warming gift. It will not disappoint! There will be […]
This week we will be looking at Luke 1:5-25, the account of Zechariah and Elizabeth and the birth of their son, John. So many things needed to fall into place in preparation for the coming of the Messiah. God carefully arranged the timing, the people, and the world for His entrance. God’s plans can never […]
This week we will continue to prepare our hearts for the coming of the Christ Child. After Malachi wrote down the final word of the last Old Testament book, God went silent for 400 years. Most people are not very comfortable with an extended period of silence. We are used to noise, action and sound-bites […]
This week we will be preparing to enter into the Advent season! The message of Christmas is the message you need to hear. God became man to declare His love, to pay your debt, to set you free. All you have to do is take His hand and follow His lead. Have you done that? […]
This week we will prepare for Thanksgiving by looking at Luke 17:11-19. In this account, Jesus healed ten lepers, but only one returned to say “thank you.” The only difference between the nine and the one who returned was that the one chose not to forget what Jesus had done for him. The secret of […]
This week we will be looking at Joseph as we continue in our series “Faith Confirming Accounts: Building Confidence from God’s Truth.” One third of the book of Genesis is given to Joseph’s account. It’s an intriguing story — good enough to be made into a Broadway musical. Through many years of ups and downs, […]
This week we will continue with our series “Faith Confirming Accounts: Building Confidence from God’s Word”. As we gather at the Lord’s table, we are reminded that the forgiveness of our sins came at great cost. But now that the price has been paid, how wasteful it would be to think we don’t need it. […]
This week we will continue in our series, “Faith Confirming Accounts: Building Confidence from God’s Truth”. In Geneses 12, Abram is chosen to begin a nation of God’s people. Abram was very ordinary. He had stresses with work and family. He was a less-than-ideal husband and struggled to stay consistent in his walk with the […]
This week we will be continuing in our series, “Faith Confirming Accounts: Building Confidence From God’s Truth” by looking at Genesis 11. The Great Flood may have cleansed the earth, but people’s hearts were still bent toward rebellion and sin. The generations after the Flood did not spread out as God commanded. Instead, they settled […]
This week we will continue in our series “Faith Confirming Accounts: Building Confidence From God’s Truth”. Never again will there be a global flood like the one described in Genesis 7. The rain came for 40 days and 40 nights, but the waters continued to flood the earth for five more months. We’ve seen first-hand […]
