<p>What if love didn’t stay safe? What if it showed up at your door, moved in, and asked you to make room?</p><p>In this fourth and final week of Advent, we look beyond sentiment and into the soul of the Gospel—where <em>the Word became flesh</em> and refused to love from a distance. In a world that talks about love as a feeling or a slogan, John’s Gospel proclaims something scandalously real: God’s love arrives in skin, breath, and vulnerability.</p><p>This sermon explores what it means for divine love to dwell among us—not when we’re ready, but precisely when we’re not. We’ll walk through John 1:1–14, 1 John 4, and Romans 5 to see that love is not an idea to believe in, but a presence to receive.</p><p>Whether you’ve been burned by love, exhausted by it, or just wondering if it still exists—this Advent episode is for you.</p><p>Love didn’t stay abstract. Love moved in. And it's still moving in—every time we make room.</p><p>Light the candle. Open your heart. Let love take up space.</p>
