This Sunday, Pastor Martin’s message will again focus on the incarnation by looking at the Old Testament prophecies concerning the birth of the Messiah. We will look at Isaiah 7:14 in the context of Isaiah 7 and 8. This prophecy is explicitly cited by Matthew in his Gospel, and lies behind the assumptions of the Gospels of Luke and John: Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
