What is Matthew Doing with Isaiah? - Jeremy Duncan

Dec 2, 2024
30:12

🎄 Advent Series: Approach 🎄

In this message, we reflect on the connection between Isaiah’s prophecy and Matthew’s gospel, uncovering how the ancient cry of “God with us” becomes tangible through the birth of Christ. From the threat of war in Isaiah’s time to the vulnerability of a child in a manger, we dive into how God’s presence transcends fear, conflict, and despair to bring peace, justice, and restoration.


This talk challenges us to see Christmas not just as a celebration of the miraculous but as a profound reminder of God’s unshakable commitment to all of humanity. Whether you’re steeped in tradition or encountering these stories anew, discover the hope that comes with knowing Emmanuel, God truly with us.


📖 Scripture Focus: Matthew 1:18–25, Isaiah 7

🙏 Let’s prepare our hearts for the light breaking into the darkness this Advent.
