In this message, Pastor John continues the Christmas series “Immanuel: God With Us” by teaching how God meets us in our valleys—our seasons of pain, loss, fear, and deep struggle. From Psalm 84, we learn that blessed are those whose strength is in the Lord and who set their hearts on the journey. God never promised we wouldn’t walk through valleys, but He did promise we would never walk through them alone.We hear an incredible testimony from Church members, who walked through a year of grief, a rare and aggressive cancer diagnosis, and an overwhelming physical and emotional battle. Through Scripture, prayer, worship, community, and the faithful presence of Jesus, they experienced God’s goodness even in their darkest moments.This message encourages us to fix our minds on the things above, dig wells of faith in our hard places, and trust God to lead us from strength to strength. Whatever valley you’re walking through, Emmanuel is with you—and He will carry you through.
