• Always faithful.

2. God will continue to be providential.

• His purposes will prevail.

• He’s got this…He’s got you.

3. God will continue to be grace.

• He will never give up on us.

• He will never leave us.

Incarnation: The Ultimate... Emancipation

Read John 4:16-21; 8:34-38

"In the Christian story God descends to re-ascend. He comes down; down from the heights of absolute being into time and space, down into humanity… But He goes down to come up again and bring the ruined world up with Him." ~C.S. Lewis Emancipation: To free from slavery; to free from restraint, power or control of another. The ultimate emancipation includes:

1. Freedom from sin and death.

2. Freedom from tradition.

3. Freedom from the world's expectations.
