IF – THEN

2024/12/08 | Daniel Nüesch

In this sermon Daniel Nüesch explains the “IF – THEN” of faith: if Emmanuel (Isaiah 7:14) — God with us — comes into your life, then His presence will either judge or bless depending on how you welcome Him (1 Sam. 5; 2 Sam. 6). Jesus changed everything: His holiness now heals and reconciles (John 3:17).

Practical takeaway: you don’t need perfection or great strength to let God in — a tender “yes” is enough (see Luke 18:9-14). Open up honestly about your fears and doubts; invite Jesus into your everyday mess and watch His presence give perspective, peace, and renewal (2 Cor. 4:18).

Call to reflection/action: will you give that tender yes today? Let God in, speak honestly, and take one simple step — a short prayer of invitation — and see how your life begins to change.
