God With Us - Bishop Nolan McCants

Описание: Anchor Scripture: Matthew 1:23 — Read aloud together.



Message Summary, God With Us Bishop Nolan (For Individual Review)

This personal review—meant to share with a One Five Partner, around the table, or with a friend—reminds us that Advent marks the divinely appointed moment when God stepped into human history as Immanuel—God with us.

God comes close, not distant or demanding our works, but offering redemption through a love planned across centuries. Advent invites us to slow down, honor the unique gift of our faith, and respond with fresh gratitude, trust, and witness.
