Love is With Us
What is love? Our world offers thousands of differing definitions. As a result, the true nature of love has become diluted and distorted. But Advent brings us back to true love. “This is love: Not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins” [1 John 4:10]. Today, we’ll rejoice in the gift of God’s love for us. And we’ll be challenged to love others as we’ve been so generously and sacrificially loved.
Scripture References: 1 John 4:7-12
From Series: "Emmanuel: God With Us"
For the next 25 days, most of the world will focus on Christmas. For many, this festive season brings out the best in us. But why? Is it simply the lights, gifts, trees, and dinner parties that make us happy? Or could it be that the little baby born in a manger is present with us in a special way throughout this season, whether we’re aware of Him or not? For the next four weeks, we will remind one another that Hope is with us, Peace is with us, Joy is with us, Love is with us… Emmanuel is with us. Join us and invite others to join us as we discover why this truly is the most wonderful time of the year!
