Anthem Podcast: Immanuel, God With Us // Week 3 - Receive Immanuel

To better understand this week’s Advent theme, which is receiving, we looked at John 1. In this poetic introduction to his gospel, John declares that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” (John 1:14a). Sadly, His own people did not receive Him... “But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). After exploring what it means to receive Jesus, we celebrated communion together by receiving, once more, the body and blood of Jesus.
