No matter what's been good, bad, and ugly this year, no matter what you're going to face next year,

you need to know the name in manual, because that means you're not facing it alone.

Dr. Tony Evans talks about the powerful message behind one of the names used to describe Jesus.

God is with you.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans.

I would like to say to all of our friends on behalf of our whole ministry, a very, very merry Christmas.

As you enjoyed food, fellowship, family, and friends, make the most of this time to be reminded about the real meaning of Christmas,

and that is God become man so that men could connect with God.

That's really what Christmas is all about, so have a very, very merry Christmas.

And that's what today's message is all about, too.

So let's join Dr. Evans as he shares some encouraging truth about that baby in the manger.

A master key is designed to unlock any door so that you can enter in to see what's inside.

Jesus is the master key to Christmas.

And one of the ways that we get to know him is through the many names that God has given to him in Scripture.

One name that I would like to focus on today is found in Matthew 1 verse 23.

It reads as follows.

Behold the Virgin shall be with child and shall bear a son and they shall call his name Emanuel, which translated means God with us.

But what does that really mean to call Jesus Emanuel? God with us.

Well, back in Isaiah 714, God's people were being attacked by the enemy.

God showed up and told King A has, I'm going to give you a sign of victory.

And the sign of victory I'm going to give you is a virgin having a son, which will be my sign that you win and the enemy loses.
