Love | All I Want for Christmas

December 8, 2019 • Todd Petkau • 1 John 4:7–12

The Australian novelist Richard Flanagan noted that ‘we love love, but perhaps its only meaning lies in its ubiquitous meaninglessness!’ Yikes! That sounds so bleak. So hopeless. So true! However, John, the guy with the nickname, The Apostle of Love has an entirely different perspective on ‘love’! Love is the second item on our ‘All I Want for Christmas’ wish list this year.

Unwrapping What Really Matters | All I Want for Christmas

December 1, 2019 • Todd Petkau • Psalm 56, 1 John 1

Most of what we say we want for Christmas is made of plastic and will be forgotten about a month into the new year! However, most of us aren’t willing to put what we really crave on a list because it’s too personal. Makes us too vulnerable or feels too unattainable. This series will spend four weeks looking at what our souls truly crave most!
