Emmanuel: God With Us in the Middle of Our Pain
Dec 21, 2025 • Pastor Brian Hancock
Christmas is meant to be joyful—but for many, it’s a season that brings up grief, heartbreak, and memories that still ache. In this message, Emmanuel, we look honestly at the pain that can surface during the holidays and discover the powerful truth that God doesn’t wait for our hearts to be whole before He draws near.
Through Scripture, real-life stories, and the hope of Jesus’ birth, we explore how to move forward when the season feels heavy—and how “God with us” changes everything, even in loss.
If you’re hurting this Christmas, you’re not alone. Emmanuel has come. Hope is still here.
