Love Has Come: The Greatest Gift | Pastor Mike Sciara | Matthew 1:18-25 | December 22, 2024

🎄 Advent Week 4: "Love Has Come: The Greatest Gift" 🎄 What’s the most extravagant gift ever given? From the Taj Mahal to the Statue of Liberty, humanity has crafted grand symbols of love. But these pale in comparison to the most extraordinary gift the world has ever known: God’s love revealed through Jesus Christ. In this week’s message, we explore Matthew 1:18-25 and uncover the profound truth of Christmas—God with us. Join us as we delve into the greatest gift of love conceived, fulfilled, and revealed through Jesus’ birth. Key Takeaways: ➡️A Love Conceived (Promised) – God's promise through the miraculous conception of Jesus (Matthew 1:18-19, Isaiah 7:14). ➡️A Love Fulfilled – God’s love becomes tangible as Jesus, the Savior, is born (Matthew 1:20-23, John 1:14). ➡️A Love Revealed – The fullness of God’s love is displayed in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection (Matthew 1:24-25, John 3:16). 💡 Central Truth: The birth of Jesus embodies God’s eternal love, offering us the most extravagant gift—Himself, dwelling among us as our Savior. Whether you're reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas or seeking a deeper connection with God's love, this message invites you to experience Immanuel—God with us.
