We Are Emmanuel

This sermon from Acts 18 explores how people respond to the voice of God. Using Paul’s ministry in Corinth, it contrasts those who rejected the message of Jesus because they trusted in their own righteousness with those who humbly received it and believed. The message emphasizes that spiritual “deafness” often comes from pride and self-sufficiency, while true life comes from recognizing our need for a Savior. Even in discouragement, Jesus encourages His people with the promise, “Do not be afraid… for I am with you.” The sermon reminds listeners that Jesus alone offers forgiveness, purpose, and lasting hope - and calls us to keep trusting Him, listening to His voice, and continuing the mission of sharing the gospel.
