What does real love actually look like?

In this Advent message, we explore love not as a feeling or a slogan—but as a costly, sacrificial gift. Drawing from 1 John 4, familiar cultural stories, and the quiet power of Christmas, this message reminds us that love doesn’t begin with us—it begins with God. Love moved first. Love took on flesh. Love entered the mess. And love has a name: Jesus
