Derwood Alliance Church

In this sermon, Mark explores the theme of love during the Advent season. He emphasizes that love is not just a feeling, but a deeply committed action, as demonstrated by God sending Jesus to die for us while we were still sinners (Romans 5:8). We are called to imitate God by living lives filled with love, following Christ's example (Ephesians 5:1-2).Mark explains that to truly love others, we must first experience God's overwhelming, incomprehensible love for us. He shares a powerful prayer from Ephesians 3:14-21, which asks that we may understand the width, length, height, and depth of God's love. This experience of God's love completes us and empowers us to love others.The sermon concludes with three key points: we must receive God's love, return that love to God, and reflect it to others. Mark illustrates this with a personal story of experiencing God's overwhelming love for a child in Mexico, emphasizing that God's love for each individual is beyond our comprehension.#l
