In today's message, DJ Jellison emphasizes the central theme of "God with us," rooted in the prophecy from Isaiah 7:14 about the coming of a king, named Emmanuel, which translates to "God With Us." The sermon explores the idea that God desires a personal relationship with humanity, contrasting this with the belief that God is distant and uninvolved in our lives.
Using the biblical narrative, Jalis illustrates how God has consistently pursued a relationship with us, starting from walking with Adam and Eve in the garden, leading the Israelites through the Exodus, and ultimately in the incarnation of Jesus Christ. The story of his daughter Felicity highlights the human need for reassurance in difficult times, symbolizing our own calls to God for presence and comfort.
The sermon addresses three key lessons from the theme of "God With Us":

God keeps His promises, as seen from Genesis through the prophecies of Isaiah to the birth of Jesus.
God deeply loves us, demonstrated through the sacrifice of His Son.
God shows up in our lives during inconvenient and uncomfortable times, urging the congregation to reflect on how they can also "show up" in their commitments and relationships.

Overall, the message reassures listeners of God's constant presence, urging them to engage actively in their faith and community, affirming that God is always there, listening, and deeply caring for each of us.
