Savior
Immanuel
Our scripture reading for today come from Isaiah 7:14

Another one is Manheim Steamroller like who knows a Manheim Steamroller song that isn’t a Christmas song, but every Christmas when you hear that, ‘‘Bumba dumpa’’ you get pumped up…
But the older I get the more I think about the actual miracle of Christmas that God became a baby, and I am grateful for the things at Christmas that remind me of this, that help me to think about this, and really meditate on what the coming of Jesus really was and on what it really means. And so really our goal through this advent season, with Thomas preaching a few weeks ago, to the Advent Service last week, to my sermons this week and next week, is for you to walk about of here with more wonder and amazement at what God did at Christmas and that you would adore Christ more deeply.
And specifically what we are going to do over the next two weeks is talk about some things that you have heard about at Christmas time but maybe have never really understood.
