Advent Worship Series
This Advent, join us as we walk through the Christmas story as Matthew tells it — a story filled not with a multitude of angels singing, but with real people wrestling with real fears, decisions, and unexpected turns. In Matthew’s Gospel, Christmas doesn’t arrive in perfect conditions. It arrives in the middle of confusion, doubt, and disrupted plans. And it’s right there — right in the mess and mystery — that Matthew proclaims the heart of Christmas: God is with us. Through a child named Emmanuel, we discover a God who steps into our real lives and never leaves our side. This season, come and see how the birth of Jesus reveals a God who is present in every circumstance — faithful, near, and with us always.
