Emmanuel - God with us

Hello us CF. For those who don't know, my name

is Joel, and I'll begin to briefly explain where the

name Emanuel in the Bible cop comes from and how

it can be interpreted. The name Emmanuel can be found

in Isaiah chapter seven and eight and Matthew chapter one,

verse twenty three. Matthew Chapter one, vers. Twenty three reads,

Behold the Virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and

they shall go his name Emmanuel, and Isaiah is seven

fourteen also says, therefore the Lord himself will give you

a sign. Behold, the Virgin shall conceive and bear a son,

and shall call his name Emmanuel. Isaiah chapter eight, verse

eight references the name Emmanuel, and it will sweep on

into Judah. It will overflow and pers on, reaching even

into the neck, and its outspread wings will feel the

breadth of your land over Emmanuel. So Emanuel originates from

an ancient Hebrew language written in the Bible. Emanuel is

an example of a theophoric name. A theophoric name means

a personal name that incorporates the name of God. For example,

Every means lion, l means God that puts together a

line of God. Netanya, who Netan means has given Ya,

who means God, and that means God has given Emanuel

e Manu with us ol God. Therefore you get God

with us. So initially, Emmanuel was the name of a

child from a certain hystical time period. Once upon a

time the Old Testament, Hebrews who were united as one

nation under King David and were divided into two kingdoms,

Israel and Judah. A Has in the Kingdom of Judah

feared destruction by other nations. Isaiah was a prophet of

God who God used to speak to a Has to

show him that he would not let Judah be destroyed. However,

a Has had doubts and if he refused to ask

for science that God would protect his kingdom, God promised

sign of a virgin who would bear a child called Emmanuel.

According to the Bible, Emanuel's not just a name, it

is the truth. So when it comes to interpreting the

name of Emmanuel, Emanuel can be interpreted as a scientiic

king it has during the period of his military crisis,

and the symbol that God was with Judah in moments

of fear, danger, and uncertainty. It's also interpreted as God

with us in human form through Jesus Christ himself. As

Matthew chapter one, verse twenty three quotes Isaiah chapter seven

or fourteen, and not only does it apply to you

the birth of Jesus, but also explains that Jesus is

the ultimate Emmanuel Emanuel also interpreted as God keeping his promises,

as the prophecy of Isaiah was fulfilled hundreds of years later.

And that's all for me. Thank you for listen.

Good morning. So what does Emmanuel? What does Emmanuel mean

to me? So Matthew one twenty three says, the virgin

will conceive and give better a son, and they will

call him Immanuel, which means God with us. When I

think about the phrase God with us or God with me,

I think about how God humbled himself to be born

of a woman so he could experience human life and

die the ultimate death for us. He was separated from

God so that we don't have to be He demonstrated

his love for us by dying for us while we

were still sinners. And He loves each and every single

one of you in this room, and He's chosen all

of you. And God is waiting for you. So hold

onto his hand and allow him to walk with you. So,

because God is with us, God is our refuge and

our strength and our ever present help in trouble. Because

God is with us. God is within us. And we

will not fall because God is with us. Though we

walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, we

will fear no evil because God is with us. He

will be with us in the same way he was

with David when he conquered Goliath. Because God is with us,

he will be with us. He'll be the fourth man

in the fire, and we will come out of the

fire unscathed. So when you feel like every aspect of

your life is tumbling and nothing seems to be going

your way, and you have physically come to the end

of yourself, please do not lose hope, because that is

when Jesus will say, peace be still over your storm.

God is with you. So you and Jesus are an

unbeatabul team. So because God is with you, be strong

and courageous. Do not be afraid, for the Lord your

God will be with you wherever you go. The same

God that were real to Isiah that Emmanuel was coming

about seven hundred years before he came. That is your God,

that is my God. The promise Keeper. He's our God.

That is the God that is with us. So pick

up your Bibles and declare these truths over yourself, because

thy word is a lamp onto our feet and a

light onto our part. So if there's one truth to

carry with you this week, it is that God is

with you.

Thank you guys for those thoughts. Can give them another

round of apploors.

God bless you guys. So so now we're gonna be

taking communion, so we're gonna read together. Matthew twenty six,
