Episode Synopsis

Christmas has a way of stirring our deepest longings for love.
From Hallmark movies to romantic comedies, the season reminds us how much we want to be known, chosen, and pursued. And yet, many of us carry disappointment—relationships that failed, love that proved fragile, or hopes that never delivered the life we were promised.
In this Advent message from 1 John 4:9–10, we’re invited to see a love that is fundamentally different from the love our culture celebrates. A love that doesn’t depend on feelings, performance, or reciprocity—but a love that moves first, gives life, and pays the cost.
This sermon explores:


Why human love so often disappoints


How God defines love by action, not emotion


Why Jesus came not just to show love, but to give life


How the cross reveals a love that is sacrificial, holy, and pursuing


Christianity claims something bold: that while we were not looking for God—and didn’t even want Him—He came looking for us. Jesus entered a broken world, took on our sin, and gave His life so that we could truly live.
Whether you’re a lifelong Christian, burned by religion, or simply wondering if real love actually exists, this message invites you to encounter a love that doesn’t need to be earned—and will not let you go.
