Sermon preached by Fr Matt Tebbe at The Table's worship service on December 21, 2025, (Fourth Sunday of Advent)

“What the world needs now is love, sweet love.” Truer words have never been spoken. But the love the world needs is not a love that it can create on its own. The Bible reminds us that “GOD is love.” This last Sunday before Christmas, we will celebrate that Jesus came to us as the highest expression of God's love for us. He came to show us how to BE loved, RECEIVE love, and to GIVE love. It is a gift that can change the world.

By this point in December, love has been merchandised within an inch of its life. It jingles in ads that say if you really love someone, you should buy them a luxury car with a bow the size of a house. But Advent tells another story. God did not arrive in a grand gesture—no skywriting, no fireworks, no leather interior with heated seats. Love slipped into a Bethlehem stable, swaddled in rags. This is not the love we usually want. We’d prefer it to be shiny and obvious. Instead, God gives us the kind of love that chooses vulnerability. A baby who cannot even hold up his huge noggin. A terrified teenage mom. And a dad who's trying to believe this is not all a terrible mistake. And yet—this is the love that remakes the whole world. Not quick or efficient, but slow and human. Love that needs to be changed and snuggled. Love that grows up to sit with outcasts and weep at gravesides and promise that nothing—not even death—can separate us from God. So here we are, a few days from Christmas, and maybe the invitation is to look for love in small ways. In a text that says, “Made it home safe.” In a neighbor shoveling your walkway. Love in the God who came close, unnoticed but never unneeded. Subscribe to Kate’s Substack for blessings, essays, and reflections that hold what’s hard and beautiful.

In this message from 1 John 4, we look at Christmas through the eyes of the Apostle John near the end of his life. After decades of ministry, suffering, and loss, John doesn't offer advice for fear—he offers good news: God is love. This teaching explores: Why fear doesn't just live in our thoughts, but in our nervous system How God's love takes the initiative long before we do What “perfect love” actually means—and how it casts out fear Why the opposite of love isn't hate, but fear How the incarnation of Jesus is God's answer to human anxiety Rather than calling us to be braver, Christmas invites us to receive love more fully—a love that is sacrificial, unconditional, and strong enough to heal even our deepest fears. If fear has shaped your expectations, habits, or faith, this message is an invitation to step further into the love of God—and to discover the freedom that comes with it. “There is no fear in love. Instead, perfect love drives out fear.” — 1 John 4:18

"In this is love, not that we have loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

This week in our Advent series, we are reflecting on the love of God revealed in the gift of His Son. John 3:16 reminds us, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” God's love is personal, sacrificial, and transformative. He gave what was most precious to Him so that one day we could be where He is. Therefore, the gift of Jesus is the most profound and useful gift we will ever receive. Jesus came to bridge the gap between God and humanity. He became flesh so that we could understand God's heart. Romans 8:32 assures us that if God did not spare His Son, He will graciously provide for all our needs. God's love is not only for us to receive but also for us to share, flowing through us to bless others and extend His kingdom. This Christmas, let's reflect on the love we have received and consider how we can share it with those around us. Where do you need to receive God's love this season? Who needs to experience Christ's love through you? Let's conclude this Advent season with hearts ready to receive and hands prepared to share, living as a people transformed by the greatest love story ever told.

In our final week of Advent, we look at how we are more lost than we think and more loved than we could imagine.

Because Christ has come, we should love him.In the fourth and final week of Advent, we look at Isaiah 11:1-10 and how it encourages us, in light of the coming of Jesus, to be a people who deeply love him.

Today we step into Week 4 of Advent—Love. Clay teaches on God's unending love–promised by the prophets, fulfilled in Jesus, and still pursuing us today.Support the show

 The Advent theme for today is LOVEI've never heard anyone argue whether that theme is appropriate- the words of the previous themes–hope, peace, and joy–are all found in the biblical text• but love doesn't appear in the details of the Christmas story◦ it feels right that love should be another theme, but is it right?• does love add a sentimental tone that wasn't there?◦ our culture is certainly attached to an “ideal” Christmas◦ a “Hallmark special” with smooth edges and a soft glow- the initial reaction to the early announcements of Christ's birth,• given to Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, generated confusion and fear◦ but love isn't right there on the surface of the page• love only comes in after much theological reflection◦ the gospels tell the story, theology identifies its meaning--which is:“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him” (Jn. 3:167-17)

We hope you enjoy and benefit from Grace Point Church's messages. Thank you for taking time to listen!

In Week 4 of Advent, we light the Angel's Candle and focus on the theme of love, the kind that moves toward the mess, not away from it. From the manger to the cross, God demonstrates a love that sacrifices, rescues, and redeems. The good news of Advent is this: God is with us, God is for us, and nothing can separate us from His love.
