Prepare Him room
celebrating the birth of jesus

This series is designed to help each of us focus on and celebrate the gift that has come into our lives through the birth of Jesus Christ. Much more than the subject of Christmas carols or the marking of a historical event, the coming of the long-awaited Messiah is where everything changed for us in terms of our faith. The many promises God had made to his people would be realized in Jesus, just as God's plans would be fulfilled through his life, death and resurrection. What remains is for each of us to receive and walk in the incredible gift that we've been given through the birth of Jesus.

Only...it wouldn't happen quite like they imagined. This message looks at the development of Israel's hope for a Messiah and how the birth of Jesus fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah and marked the coming of the One who would rescue God's people.
