Worship Minute: Emmanuel
Worship Minute: “…You shall call Him, Emmanuel. Which means, God with us.” The Advent season is upon us, which helps us to reflect upon the “arrival”, or Advent, of Jesus onto the earth. This is my favorite theme (idea, or point of reflection) in the Christmas season. I love songs that give us a way to express our gratitude to the Lord for making His dwelling among us (e.g. Emmanuel by Laura Story [which we will be singing this Sunday!], Joy to the World, O Come O Come Emmanuel by Lincoln Brewster, etc.)! He came to give us; hope, peace, joy, and love (the themes for each of the 4 weeks leading up to Christmas in Advent), and I hope and pray that we are all experiencing these gifts from our Savior in our lives. Worship Him today for coming to be with us and to provide salvation for us by forgiving all of our sins! He is worthy. ~ Mark
