On this Fourth Sunday of Advent, Reverend John Gorin explores the profound significance behind the name given to the Messiah: Jesus. Based on the Gospel of Matthew and the account of Joseph’s dream, this sermon examines the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy and the dual nature of Christ as both the human Son of David and the Divine Son of God.
Rev. Gorin unpacks the Hebrew roots of the name "Yeshua" (The Lord Saves) and challenges listeners to consider what it means to truly live under that authority today. The message moves beyond viewing salvation solely as a future event, presenting it as a present reality that grants believers a new, transcendent identity.
Key Topics Covered:
The Prophecy Fulfilled: Understanding Matthew 1 and the connection to Isaiah 7:14.
The Meaning of the Name: How "Jesus" signifies both human history and divine intervention.
Identity in Christ: Shedding the "old garments" of social status and past idols to embrace a unified identity in the Church.
Power and Healing: The importance of praying expectantly for healing in Jesus' name.
Reverence: Recovering a sense of awe and holiness in our approach to the Lord.
Scripture References: Matthew 1:18-25, Isaiah 7:14, Acts 4:12, Philippians 2:9-11.
