Advent: See The Love

2. ADVENT ~ Week 1

3. ADVENT ~ Week 1
Every day
We go to war again
We assume we know so much more than them
Before we hear what they have to say
Headline breaks
And we start to hate again
Callin' them names again
We give our peace away

4. ADVENT ~ Week 1
I hope they see it
'Cause I wanna see it
I hope we believe it
I wanna see, I wanna see the love
All around you, all around you
I wanna know
I wanna know that love
Is all around you
It's all around

5. ADVENT ~ Week 1
Shout, day by day
Hope fades away and then
We know
That there is pain within
We cannot medicate
Learn to feel
Learn to begin again
Open our eyes again
To see our brother's pain

6. ADVENT ~ Week 1
I hope they see it
'Cause I wanna see it
I hope we believe it
I wanna see, I wanna see the love
All around you, all around you
I wanna know
I wanna know that love
Is all around you
It's all around

7. ADVENT ~ Week 1
See how it lights you up
It lights you up
See how it lights you up
It lights you up
See how it lights you up
It lights you up...

8. ADVENT ~ Week 1
I wanna see
I wanna see the love
All around you
All around you
I wanna know
I wanna know that love
Is all around you
It's all around

10. Our choices form our habits,
our habits form our character,
and our character forms our destiny

11. The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1:5

12. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God,
and God in them. This is how love is made complete
among us so that we will have confidence on the
Day of Judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out
fear, because fear has to do with punishment.
The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us
1 John 4

13. Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs
1 Corinthians 14

14. - Bend down to a child’s level
- Sit on the floor with them
- Put their art on display in your home
- Ask for their opinion and honor it when you can
- Play when they ask you
- Have them participate with you
in helping others...
What Love Can Look
Like to a Child

16. Benediction
May the words we have heard today
with our outward ears, through God’s grace,
be so grafted inwardly on our hearts,
that they would bring forth in us
the fruit of love in the presence of old and young,
to the honor and praise of Jesus’ name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, I pray:
Amen.
