Sermon on Isaiah 7:10-16. This is the third sermon (and fourth worship service) in the series The Fifth Gospel.

Many of the leaders and scholars in the early church regarded Isaiah as "the fifth gospel" because of how clearly Isaiah described the Advent of Jesus Christ. In the season of Advent and Christmas, we will hear what Isaiah has to say about Jesus' arrival and reign. This sermon series will focus on how Jesus' kingdom of peace will look.

In this sermon, we explore how Jesus will come as God with us instead of God against us.

This week, instead of a typical worship service with a sermon, we celebrated the season with a Christmas cantata. A cantata tells the whole story of Christmas, beginning with the prophecies in the Hebrew Bible, running through the hopes and expectations of the children of Israel, and culminating on Christmas night, when Jesus Christ entered the world as a baby. We hope you find this longer recording worshipful and meaningful during this season of Advent, and pray that you will make space in your heart and life for Jesus to enter, and then go and share the story of Christmas with the world!
