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     

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

TODAY’S MESSAGE: Welcome to Emmanuel; where Jesus brings color to the dull grey places of our hearts. God gave Benjamin the blessing of being bold. Boldness was a common trait in this tribe, and in the most famous Benjamite in the New Testament, the Apostle Paul, both in the wrong and in the right. The wonderful news is that God gave him a greater boldness through the Holy Spirit to be a witness for Christ. No one enters the kingdom without being born again, and this may be one reason why Jesus calls His earthly kingdom "the regeneration." This whole chapter is pointing to the hope to be found in Jesus Christ through His resurrection and the good news that we have a kingdom to receive in Him.
