In this Advent sermon, we explore the theme of hope as the Word made flesh, Jesus, brings light to a dark world, signaling a homecoming for humanity. Our journey, marked by ache and separation, finds hope in the advent of Christ—inviting us to a spiritual home, transcending darkness, and restoring a confident expectation.

Love

How can I experience a deeper connection with Jesus in my daily life, especially after the Christmas season? What does it mean to express and receive unconditional love in my relationships? In what ways can I make a lasting impact in my community by reflecting God's love? The sermon provides insights into the characteristics of love, drawing from biblical passages like 1 Corinthians 13, and offers practical applications for living lives of love, both as recipients and givers of unconditional love. By exploring the transformative power of love and its expression in the Christian faith, the sermon inspires us to consider how we can actively participate in spreading love and making a positive difference in our local communities.
