God In Us - Immanuel Series (Steve Pickering)

This week, Steve Pickering shared the second message in our Immanuel series, titled 'God In Us', exploring how God addresses the internal brokenness of the human heart. Using a humorous story about a shirt from Nepal to illustrate how we are often like children in adult bodies, Steve explained that while humanity is capable of great good and great evil, our deepest issue is an internal one (Matthew 15:18–19). God’s response to this brokenness is three-fold: the Incarnation (God with us), redemption through the cross (God for us), and the gift of the Holy Spirit (God in us). By sending the Spirit as our Advocate and Helper (John 14:16–18), God provides an internal presence to transform our lives from the inside out. Steve noted that while our current comprehension of God is only partial—like a dim image in a mirror (1 Corinthians 13:12)—we can still choose to walk in humility and worship, offering the best of what we have to Jesus, just like the story of the Little Drummer Boy.Matthew 15:18–19; John 1:1–5; Philippians 2:5–11; John 14:15–18; 1 Corinthians 13:12; Ephesians 3:18–19; Matthew 28:20.Let Us Know You Are Listening
