At Christmas, we celebrate more than the birth of a child—we celebrate the fulfillment of a promise. In Matthew 1:18–23, Jesus is given the name Emmanuel, meaning God with us. This Christmas Eve message traces the story of the Bible through that single name: God created us to be with Him Sin separated us from God We cannot save ourselves by good deeds Jesus came, died, and rose again to bring us back to God Everyone who trusts in Him alone has eternal life Life with Jesus begins now and lasts forever The birth of Christ is the beginning of the greatest rescue story ever told—and an invitation to know God personally through faith in Jesus. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 1:18–23 🎄 Christmas Eve Message ⛪ Harvest Liberty Lake Church
