Perhaps in no other Christmas season of our lives do the shadows of the night feel as looming and overwhelming.

    Online worship - Fourth Sunday of Advent with Special Music for the SeasonSermon Series: Emmanuel: God With UsMessage: What in Heaven’s Name?The Love of God-With-Us does not come as a mere feeling or sentimental fluff. Love cannot be imposed from on high. Love is our greatest commandment— tending tenderly to God, to others, and to self. The Love of God-With-Us is love in action, radical love practices: redistribution of resources and risks, solidarity with those most exposed to a threat, hospitality to caravans, refugees, migrants, and sojourners, caring for those we’ve been taught to despise, or fear. This love is fierce and tender. It defies unjust rules and flattens hierarchies of value. We are an anti-racist, affirming, and progressive community of faith in Atlanta.
