<description>Traditional Worship | Dr. Ed Robb | &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the prophet Isaiah who first introduced us to one of the most beautiful words found in the Old Testament — Emmanuel. When translated, it means “God with us.” The word not only holds historical and sacred significance to all of God’s people, but it also symbolizes God’s divine presence and protection for both the present and future.   Emmanuel conveys a sense of promise and belonging, of care and comfort, of courage and optimism. As we find ourselves in this season of Advent, it is so important for us to know that even now God is with us in our waiting, Our Celebration, our celebration for the gift of the Messiah, and most of all, for the love He brings to all people. We are delighted that you have joined us for worship in this sacred Advent season, and we hope you feel the love and warmth of our congregation. Indeed, God is with us! </description>

Emmanuel: With Us in Our Waiting

<description>Traditional Worship | Bishop Bob Hayes |  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gospel of John is without a doubt one of the most fascinating books in the Bible. Often called the “spiritual gospel,” this unique and powerful testimony provides us with an up close and personal perspective of Jesus like no other book ever written. From the prologue to the epilogue, the main message of John’s Gospel is that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and we can have eternal life by believing in Him. Beautifully crafted, the book has an abundance of signs, symbols and miracle stories. In the coming weeks we will journey through this amazing testament, and we invite you to come and journey with us as Jesus’ identity is made known to the people of His time and to us today through its timeless message. We are delighted that you have chosen to worship with us, and we pray your spirit will be fed.</description>
