We Are Church, former church - Cornerstone Community Church·We Are Church, former church - Cornerstone Community Church·21:06

In this powerful Christmas message, Francis Chan unpacks the central truth of Emmanuel, God with us, drawing from Matthew 1. He traces God's consistent initiative throughout Scripture, from creation to the tabernacle, the incarnation of Jesus, and the indwelling Holy Spirit, demonstrating a God who actively moves closer to His people, yearning for relationship. Chan challenges listeners to abandon striving for God's presence and instead respond to His already-knocking invitation, fostering deeper adoration, renewed faith, and a fresh, daily experience of God's intimate nearness.
