About this listen

In this fourth and final week of Advent, Pastor James reflects on the theme of love as the lived promise of Emmanuel—God with us. Drawing from Wesleyan theology, he frames love not as an abstract idea but as a practice of presence: being fully present with God, with ourselves, and with others. He offers three simple, accessible practices to make love tangible—an Emmanuel breath prayer (“God with us”), intentionally being present with another person without agenda or judgment, and engaging in anonymous acts of kindness that allow God’s love to be experienced in the world. As Advent draws to a close and Christmas approaches, this reflection invites listeners to embody discipleship by making hope, peace, joy, and love real through everyday, practical acts of presence and care.
