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     

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.”

                                                                              Romans 12:19

SUNDAY 10:00AM WORSHIP • WEDNESDAY 9:30AM BIBLE STUDY

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Welcome to Emmanuel; we are so glad you have joined us to worship the Lord today. Knowing the future foretold by Scripture ought to make us holy people. That is, it ought to make a difference in the present, too! One aspect of our sin nature that continues to be a temptation to us is that of excessive anger. The Apostle Paul wrote to believers to give place in their wrath. We are not to usurp God's role as Avenger. Instead, the Lord calls us to forgive, as He has forgiven us. And we can be grateful for that!
