Advent 2025: God Moved into the Neighborhood

The advent of Jesus Christ is the embodiment of John 3:16. God so loved the world – and so… Christ came to earth. His advent is the manifestation of God’s love for the world. But we must not allow our understanding of God’s love to remain merely at such a large-scale. God’s love for the world was expressed in many small, private, and personal ways.

Over the course of His time among us – Christ loved the world, yes, but He loved people. He learned their names, their stories. If we are to do the same – loving our neighbors – we must know their names. Join us as we explore Jesus’ personal and compassionate love for the individuals that make up His creation!
