Fourth Sunday of Advent: The Gift of Love
Today we light the fourth candle—the candle of Love. As we draw closer to Christmas, we reflect on the greatest act of love the world has ever known: God becoming one of us.
Our sermon focus comes from Luke 2, where we see love in its humblest form:
"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger." (Luke 2:11-12)
Love didn’t arrive with a grand parade or a royal decree; Love arrived in a quiet stable, wrapped in simple cloths, and laid in a feeding trough. God’s love isn’t just a feeling—it is a person. In Jesus, God says to us, "I am with you, I know you, and I love you beyond measure."
As we prepare our homes for Christmas, let’s make sure our hearts are the first place we welcome His love.
Christmas is a time to share the love we’ve received! Who is one person you can show a little extra love or kindness to this week? Tag them below or just drop a to commit to sharing God’s love today!
