In this Advent message, love is presented as the heart of the spiritual journey—an ever-present divine force that flows through us, heals us, and radiates outward to transform the world. Advent becomes a season not only of anticipation but of inner rebirth, calling us to deepen our practice of unconditional love.

Love is described as our truest nature, the essence of who we are, and the way Spirit expresses through us. This love is not limited to moments of joy; it shines even in darkness, illuminating our hearts and guiding us with compassion, grace, and healing power.

The message challenges the idea of love as something earned or reciprocated. Instead, it lifts up Jesus’ model of grace-filled, boundary-breaking love—love that extends to those who are difficult, unfamiliar, or even opposed to us. “Love your neighbor—no exceptions” becomes the spiritual invitation.

A touching story illustrates that those who seem hardest to love are often the ones most in need of tenderness. Through anonymous kindness, a family discovers that compassion can soften even the most guarded hearts.

We are given a simple, powerful pathway for loving in divided times:
If you cannot love, show compassion.
If compassion is hard, seek understanding.
If understanding feels out of reach, simply listen.
Each step is an act of love.

A personal story reinforces that healing relationships often require patience, perseverance, and the faith that love is working even when we cannot see it.

Finally, the concept of kenosis—self-emptying love—is introduced as a deeper spiritual practice. It is the releasing of ego so Spirit can move freely through us. It calls us to humility, service, and a willingness to put love into action, even when uncomfortable or inconvenient. Through this path, we become instruments of transformation.

At its core, the message affirms that love never ends, and that every act of genuine care—small or great—helps heal the world.

In this Advent message, Rev. Scott Schell teaches that spiritual preparation requires letting go of limiting beliefs that keep us feeling safe, controlled, or in charge. The Christ presence within us—the inner light—reveals not only our divine nature but also everything in us that resists truth. When life triggers reactivity, it signals an inner belief asking to be healed. Using personal stories, Rev. Scott shows how surrendering control allows Spirit to guide us into genuine peace, provision, and freedom. Peace is our natural state when the ego quiets. Through meditation, openness, and trust, we prepare for the rebirth of the Christ consciousness within us.

Advent marks the four sacred weeks leading to Christmas—a season filled with hope, expectation, and a gentle call to spiritual readiness. It invites us into a quieter rhythm: the soft glow of candles on the Advent wreath, moments of reflection and Scripture, simple acts of generosity, and the inner stillness that allows the soul to listen. At its heart, Advent is an invitation to wait with intention, watch with hope, and make space for the Light that is always seeking to be born within us.

On this first Sunday of Advent, we lit the candle of Faith and Hope. May its flame awaken the highest within us, connect us to the Eternal, and renew the hope that guides our path.

We embrace this season as a celebration of new life—an awakening to our Christ consciousness. With open hearts, we step forward in faith, trusting that the light we carry is precisely the light the world needs at this moment.
