The Christmas Miracle — with Brent Aucoi...

JOYFUL JOURNEY PODCAST
About this episode

Jesus has many names, but one of His Names that is mentioned most at Christmas is Immanuel, meaning “God with us”. Where does this Name come from, and how are we supposed to understand the prophetic work of Isaiah in light of the Christmas story?

Janet's husband Pastor Brent joins us to help teach us how the old testament prophecy in Isaiah 7 foretells the birth of Christ, who is “God with us”

(Find this prophecy in Isaiah 7:14)
