I will only be preaching at BC this Sunday. Campus Church will be devoted to the Kids Christmas Program.

I know that Valentine’s Day is the annual holiday devoted to love, but have you ever noticed how much love is emphasized during the Christmas season? Love is definitely a word prominently displayed on Christmas decorations. It is one of our Advent Themes and it is the subject of countless Hallmark Christmas Movies. Not to take anything away from Valentine’s Day, but Christmas is the season of love – God’s love to us.
This Sunday we will look into the non-traditional Christmas passage of 1 John 4 where the doctrine of love is on full display. In our text we will clearly see the Advent of Jesus as an act of love from God to us. The interesting thing we will see in this passage is that the love we receive from God is designed to be shared through us to others. If we want to live with the assurance that we have received the love of God, we need to be willing to be a conduit of His love to others . . . in the same way God showed love to us. Join me this Sunday as we Share in the Gift of God’s Love.
