“Emmanuel” by Pastor Ryan Emmons is in the Advent series “And He Will Be Called…” that talks about the names of Christ from the “O Antiphons”. These are a series of prayers from the early church liturgy, used in the week before Christmas and best known to us in the song “O Come O Come Emmanuel”. This one is from Isaiah 7:14:

Isaiah 7:14 (NLT) ; 以 賽 亞 書 7:14 (CUVS)

14 All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means ‘God is with us’).

14 因 此 ， 主 自 己 要 给 你 们 一 个 兆 头 ， 必 有 童 女 怀 孕 生 子 ， 给 他 起 名 叫 以 马 内 利 （ 就 是 神 与 我 们 同 在 的 意 思 ） 。

Luke 2:1-7 (NLT) ; 路 加 福 音 2:1-7 (CUVS)
Luke 2:8-20 (NLT) ; 路 加 福 音 2:8-20 (CUVS)
