This episode is set to release after Christmas, but it is still the fourth week of Advent. We have reached the end of this season of waiting with hopeful anticipation for the birth of Jesus! During this season, we’ve been following along with the themes the church follows throughout the 4 weeks of Advent, preparing our hearts for the climactic celebration of Christmas with the birth of the Messiah!

The theme of the 4th week of Advent is Love, and so we complete our Advent series with the topic of God’s love, which ultimately is the whole point of Christmas! Our scripture today is Exodus 34:5-7: Then the Lord came down in the cloud and stood there with him and proclaimed his name, the Lord.  And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.” This is the word of the Lord. It is absolutely true and given to us in love. Thanks be to God.

Listen in and consider God's incredible love for you!

Questions from today's episode: Do I really believe in the compassionate and gracious love of God? Or do I believe something contradictory to how He has revealed Himself here? Am I ready to let go of the lies I’ve believed and embrace Him as He describes Himself? What is He saying to me today? What do I want to say to Him?
