EMMANUEL EXISTS AS A REACHING MINISTRY:
REACHING UP TO GOD IN WORSHIP, REACHING IN TO ONE ANOTHER FOR EDIFICATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT, REACHING OUT TO THE WORLD WITH CHRIST’S LOVE
“But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.”
James 1:14-15

TODAY’S MESSAGE:Welcome to Emmanuel; where we worship the One who is Truth! What is God's remedy for a world that is lying to you? He has provided you with His Word. He has also provided you with your own senses, and hopefully, also with a little common sense. Man is not free to reject God and be his own master. He will always serve the True God or be a miserable slave of sin. And the wages of sin is death. But God's gift is eternal life in Christ Jesus!
