Immanuel - God with us

"Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14)

The Christmas season is eagerly anticipated by some and completely loathed by others. And while it is a time to celebrate hope and joy, many find Christmas a time of increased loneliness and isolation despite the seasonal "hustle and bustle".

Christmas is God's reminder that we are not alone. Immanuel - GOD with us! For God revealed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus a reconciling love that rescues us from separation and isolation. We are not alone; God has come down from Heaven personally to tell us He loves us!

This Christmas season you can be personally assured that Jesus Christ is here. He is here to give hope, forgive sins, bring joy, impart faith and heal spiritual wounds. All you need is to welcome Christ into your life. Accept God's personal gift of love, joy, peace and hope - and know His Presence with you...every step of the way!
