The Advent of Love

Love is not something God started doing at Christmas—it’s who He has always been.

In the third message of our ADVENT sermon series, “The Advent of Love,” Pastor Thomas Cornette leads us through Jesus’ prayer in John 17:24–26, revealing the eternal love that existed before the foundation of the world and the love that now draws us into the heart of God.

This message reminds us that Christ did not merely come to show love, but to invite us into it—shaping our identity, securing our salvation, and renewing our lives.

Sermon Points:

Created Out of Eternal Love – God’s love existed before time and is the foundation of our creation.

Reminded and Saved by Eternal Love – Through Jesus, we are rescued and continually reminded that we are fully loved.

Renewed Through Eternal Love – The love of Christ transforms us from the inside out and sends us forward in faith.
