Message: “The Birth of the Messiah” from Matt Chapin
Matt Chapin - December 15, 2024
The Birth of the Messiah
The birth of the Messiah, Jesus, was a pivotal, prophesied event marked by divine intervention and humble beginnings in Bethlehem, fulfilling Old Testament predictions of a virgin birth (Immanuel, "God with us") and a ruler from Judah's lineage, announced by angels to shepherds and wise men, signifying God's redemptive plan to save His people from sin through His incarnation as both divine and human.
From Series: "First Advent:Christmas 2024"
The term "Advent" comes from the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming" or "arrival," and the season holds a twofold focus: a remembrance of Christ's first coming in history and a forward-looking anticipation of his promised second coming in glory at the end of time
