Pastor Kevin preaches this week on how "Love Came Down" from Luke 1:67-80.
Christmas is more than a season or a feeling; it's a love story. In this message, we explore how Christmas begins not with our love for God, but with God's love for us. Through John 3:16 and 1 John 4, we see that God's love doesn't respond to our worth... it creates it. Jesus didn't just say He loved us; He showed it by coming down, living among us, and giving His life so we could truly live. Whether you feel close to God or far from Him, this message is a reminder that you are deeply known, fully loved, and personally invited to receive the love that came down.

This Advent message invites us into the profound truth that Christmas is fundamentally about love—not the shallow, fleeting kind the world offers, but agape love, the sacrificial, unconditional love of God. We're reminded that while we use the word 'love' casually for everything from apple pie to our favorite sports teams, God's love is categorically different. It's the kind of love that doesn't diminish when circumstances get hard or when we fail to measure up. Through powerful scriptures like John 3:16, Luke 2:10-11, and 1 John 4:7-8, we see that Jesus didn't come from a distance—He stepped down from heaven's riches into our broken, messy world. The sermon beautifully contrasts the lies the enemy whispers to us with the truth of our identity in Christ: we are the Father's children, made in the image of a perfect King, truly loved by a God who is good. This message challenges us to stop looking for love in all the wrong places and recognize that the greatest love story ever told began in a manger. God's love doesn't just save us; it transforms us from self-centered individuals into people who reflect His love to a hurting world. The call is clear: we love because He first loved us, and that love should overflow into how we treat others—not just during the Christmas season, but every single day.
Psalm 33:1-9, 20-22 Lighting of Advent Wreath - Love The psalmist proclaims how the LORD loves righteousness and justice and how the earth is full of his unfailing love. How might we seek righteousness and justice in our day and wait for the LORD?

You are loved by God!
Christmas isn't just about a baby in a manger—it's about LOVE that stepped into our broken world and changed everything. Come discover how Love Came Down and why His first coming gives us hope as we await His return.
In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Nathan invites us to encounter the love of God not as a concept, but as a living, pursuing reality. Drawing from the prophetic story of Hosea, we see a vivid picture of God's relentless love toward an unfaithful people. Just as Hosea pursued Gomer despite her betrayal, God continues to pursue us—meeting us in our brokenness, doubt, and wandering hearts. This message reminds us that Christmas is not merely about celebration, but about divine invasion: love stepping into darkness, pain, and rebellion to restore what was lost.More than information, this service carried an invitation to experience God's love personally and deeply. Pastor Nathan challenged the church to allow the Holy Spirit to expand our capacity to receive and understand God's love, even when circumstances or unanswered questions make it difficult. God doesn't withdraw when we wrestle—He draws near. As we approach Christmas, this message calls us to return, surrender, and receive, knowing that God rejoices over us with singing. Love didn't stay distant. Love came down—and He's still pursuing hearts today.For more on LifePoint Church go to lifepointaz.com Check out our merch store https://lifepointaz-shop.fourthwall.comFind all our links in one easy spot https://linktr.ee/lifepointaz Follow us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lifepointaz Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lifepointchurchaz/

The Christmas story is about Love coming down. It came embodied in the person of Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son...John 3:16. This is a message about God amazing love for us.
Of all the words of advent, love is the word that gets used the most in everyday context. Everyone talks about love. Whether it's a Hallmark love story or how much you love eggnog, everyone throws around the word love pretty liberally. There are times when we get serious about the topic of love though.…

Psalm 65 Lighting of Advent Wreath - Hope The psalmist proclaims the hope of being in relationship with the LORD God. How do you and I join in hope for what is to come for the Advent season?
In Luke 1:1–25 we meet a couple waiting in the long silence of God, learning that hope is found not in what they see but in the God who hears their prayers. Zechariah and Elizabeth remind us that even in our own seasons of delay, God is quietly preparing something far better than we imagined—both for us and for the world.
Stephen looks with us at the parable of the persistent widow and the importance of persistent prayer.
God wants the church to be a place where the prodigal can find their way home. What changes do we need to make as a church family to make their journey home joyful?
Che bello scoprire una nuova generazione di compositori provenienti dall'America. Dopo aver parlato di donne del passato, in questo episodio ci contreremo su una di loro, Jennifer Higdon, vivente, che sta componendo opere di buona qualità, belle e spesso profonde. La Higdon è nata il 31 dicembre 1962 a Brooklyn, New York. A oggi, ha vinto un Premio Pulitzer e tre Grammy. In questa biografia, sono contento di scoprire qualcosa su di lei. Biografia di Jennifer Higdon La Higdon ha iniziato a suonare il flauto all'età di 15 anni. Tre anni dopo, si è laureata in flauto alla Bowling Green State University, dove è stata incoraggiata a esplorare la composizione. A 21 anni si era affermata come compositrice. Ha poi conseguito un diploma d'artista presso il Curtis Institute, dove ha studiato con David Loeb e Ned Rorem. Sono passati alcuni decenni e ora è diventata una figura di spicco della musica classica contemporanea. Ha scritto opere per orchestra, ensemble di fiati, ensemble da camera, voce e coro. Secondo Fanfare Magazine la sua musica ha “la particolarità di essere allo stesso tempo complessa, sofisticata ma facilmente accessibile emotivamente”. Secondo il Times di Londra è “radicata, ma intrisa di integrità e freschezza”. La League of American Orchestras riferisce che è una delle compositrici d'America più eseguite. Dicevamo che ha vinto dei premi, fra cui il Premio Pulitzer 2010 per il suo Concerto per violino e 3 Grammy Awards per la Migliore Composizione Classica Contemporanea per il suo Percussion Concerto (2010), per il suo Viola Concerto (2018) e per il suo Concerto per arpa (2020). Consigli per l'ascolto Opere orchestrali e concerti Viola Concerto (2015) - Vincitore del Grammy Award 2018 per la Migliore Composizione Classica Contemporanea. Percussion Concerto (2005) - Vincitore del Grammy Award 2010 per la Migliore Composizione Classica Contemporanea. Blue Cathedral per flauto, clarinetto e orchestra (1999) - Un delizioso pezzo orchestrale che è diventato uno dei preferiti dalle orchestre americane e dal loro pubblico. All Things Majestic per orchestra (1911) – Un pezzo di 25 minuti per orchestra che descrive 3 ambientazioni all'aperto (The Tetons, String Lake e The Snake River) e si conclude con una rappresentazione sonora di cattedrali. Opere da camera Sly Quartet Amazing Grace Sonata for Viola e Piano Dark Wood String Trio Opere corali O Magnum Mysterium (2002) – Un pezzo di sette minuti per piccolo coro. Love Came Down (2022) – Un'ambientazione calda e incantevole di una poesia natalizia di Christine Rossetti. Qualcuno ha definito questo pezzo “quattro minuti di pura bellezza”. Conoscevate Jennifer Higdon?
