Advent Week 4 – Love | “The Source of Joy”

What gives life its meaning?

In this Advent message, we reflect on how God’s love is the foundation of hope, peace, and joy. Drawing from John 3:16–17 and 1 John 4:9–12, we’re reminded that love is not something we earn or achieve, but something we receive from a God who comes close.

Through everyday wisdom, a personal story, and the good news of Jesus, this message explores how love:

• Restores purpose when life feels bent or broken

• Transforms us gently from the inside out

• Makes the unseen God visible through a loving community

Whether you’re exploring faith, feeling distant from God, or walking closely with Him, this message invites you to slow down and receive the love that gives life meaning.
