Empowered Bible Studies: Emmanuel, God with us

Welcome to Empowered Bible Studies

Bible study is essential to our Christian walk. As we study God's Word, our personal relationship with God grows deeper and deeper. It empowers us to live for the Lord in every aspect of our lives. This is what has inspired me to do an online Bible study.

Many years ago my husband introduced me to a commentary on the book of Colossians and I was so blessed as the Scripture came to life before my very eyes. Since that day we have developed an extensive library and enjoy studying God's Word.

I have prepared some Bible studies that I would like to share with you. My prayer is that they will bless you as much as they have blessed me in preparing them. I pray your life is touched and that it would inspire you to live every moment of every day for Christ.

Emmanuel, God with us

I am reminded each year of the very heart of Christmas --

Emmanuel, God with us.

Matthew 1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

We need to be constantly reminded of this, that God is with us! If you are a Christian, then God lives in you, we just need to be aware of His presence in our lives every moment of a day. God wants to be involved in the simple, ordinary happenings of our daily lives; where you go and what you do. His light shines through you as you show kindness to another person, that cup of water or blanket to someone in need, when you show patience in a long line at the grocery store, when you reach out and pray with someone hurting.

This Christmas season allow Christ's light to shine through you, allow the world to see the heart of Christmas - Emanuel, God with us!
