12-29-24 "No Fear of Failure" by Pastor Glen

We are consumed with worry about not being or doing enough. Christ, in his advent, meets us in our weakness and offers us mercy. Immanuel’s mission and vision include “Fearless Living.” That’s reflected in the Joshua 1 charge that the Lord gave to Joshua (and to us!). The Lord through Paul in Ephesians charges us to be careful about how live our lives – toward the good and not the bad. But when we fail, and we will, we lean into Jesus’ forgiveness – and then share that forgiveness with others.As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option. We live stream our worship services directly from the home page of Immanuel’s website through YouTube.
