Love is a Gift

This Sunday's sermon is focused on the Nativity story of the Magi, as told in Matthew 2:1-12. The Magi were wise men who traveled from afar to bring Jesus valuable gifts and pay him homage. This passage highlights the theme of love, which can evoke a range of emotions including desire, betrayal, grief, and the feeling of love reborn. The sermon will explore how love is a gift, particularly in the context of the Advent season and the birth of Jesus. As we near the end of Advent, the sermon will encourage us to reflect on the love that is present in our own lives and to consider how we can give and receive love more fully.
