1 John 4:7-8 "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."

We are finishing up our Advent series by looking at the topic of Love!

If you turn on the radio, more often than not, you'll hear some kind of song about love. Whether it's someone falling in love or out of love, 90% of the songs that are sung on the radio are about love. And when you go to the Scriptures, love is all throughout!

As humans, we are wired for love because we have been created by God who is Love (as 1st John later reminds us), and it is God who models what Love is.

Many of us have a warped, or maybe incomplete, idea of what love is, but Jesus reminds us that there is no greater love than this for someone to lay down their lives for a friend.

Love, throughout the Bible, is expressed in selflessness and pouring out. The kind of love that God is isn't the romantic or friendly or Hallmarky version; it is Agape.

We are so excited to finish out this series as we get closer to Christmas and remember that God-is-with-us!
