Intro
Welcome to week four of Advent as celebrated by Adams Center Baptist Church.
Week 1: Hope
Our desire to return of God’s Presence
Our defilement that restrains God’s Presence
Our Decision that will restore God’s Presence
Struggles and trials surround us every day.
It seems as if the world is on a path of destruction with no redemption in sight.
But take heart, there is hope; however, it can only be found in one place.
Week 2: Preparation
We all have holes in our lives that need filling and barriers in our lives that need to be torn down.
We all suffer through rough patches that need to be made smooth and crooked ways in our lives that need to be straight.
There is only one way to do that and that is through Christ.
He is always present to give us everything we need to be the person He created us to be.
Let's Prepare our hearts to welcome Him in.
Week 3: Joy
No matter how bad it gets.
No matter what we have faced, are facing, or will face, there is a place we can find joy that never goes away.
It is always near at hand.
There is coming a day when joy is permanent and will never go away.
Today is not that day, but today we can find a piece of it.
And everyday we can find a piece of it.
Week 4: Love
Psychologists ranks love as the deepest need that a human has.
People desperately seek for fulfillment in this way.
Love gives us a sense of belonging.
Without it we often lose hope and and depression will often exist.
Unfortunately we often seek love in all the wrong places.
Better defined true love can only be found in one place.. the person of Jesus Christ.
People, every single one of them, cannot give or receive love correctly without God.
What that means is we are surrounded by wounded people who need to know that we have a God who loves us so much.
Exp
Before we get into it I want to quickly define Love the way God defines it.
1 co 13:13
1 co 13:4-
Why is it that LOVE is greatest?
I have often read that without hope a person is in their most dangerous place.
We are saved by grace through Faith - so our very salvation is brought on by faith.
So why LOVE… as we read earlier, God is Love.
Without him there is nothing really worth hoping in.
Without Him there is nothing to have faith in that is worth anything.
I also want to describe how we can know how he loves us.
Because the truth is,
He loves us despite our unworthiness
He loves us through our struggles, no matter how big they are.
He demonstrated His love by literally giving all he had.
He loves us despite our circumstances.
He loves us despite His eminence.
PS
Today we discuss how He loves us and what we must do to find it.
He loves us despite our unworthiness
He loves us despite our circumstances.
He loves us despite His eminence.
Isaiah 63:
He Loves Despite Our Unworthiness.
The Book of Isaiah is all about the coming punishment of Israel because of continued sin - but the promise that He will be with us always.
Ro 3:10
IS 53:6
Despite that truth of this He loves us anyway

ro 5:8
He Love Us Despite Our Circumstances
When we are in trouble - even in our own making, he feels every tear, every amount of stress, every amount of anguish, His goal is to carry your through them.
More than that He wants us to be delivered from them
Is
More than that.. not only will he deliver us, he will take our pain upon himself.
He knows our needs and knows exactly what to do with them.
When we are at the end of our rope He gives us His.

Ro 5:
He Loves Despite His Eminence
Even His birth was a great risk.
Phil 2:6-8
Conc
There was a day when all humanity (all 2 of them) lived life in perfect paradise.
They lived in harmony with each other reflecting God’s image as we were created to be.
There was no shame, no struggle, no sin.
Then one day humanity was deceived and every struggle we suffer from is a result of that sin.
Every sin, every pain, every trial, every bondage … all of the garbage.
Jesus not only cares deeply about it and takes it personal, He is our deliverer..
