Devotional for December 18, 2025 with Rev. Steven Taylor

Welcome to Week 3 of our Advent devotional journey, The Perfect Gift. So far, we have unwrapped Jesus as the Word of God and Jesus as the Messiah, the One who speaks truth and brings salvation. This week, join Rev. Steven Taylor as he turns the gift once more to discover Jesus, Immanuel, God with us. This is the promise that God has not remained distant, but has chosen to draw near, to enter our lives, and to stay.

Focus Scripture:

“All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet: ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel,’ which means, ‘God is with us.’”  Matthew 1:22–23
