This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with subpoints.

Today is the fourth and last Sunday of the Advent Season, and today we will light the fourth and final candle inside the green wreath. This candle is also purple and it represents "The Love of God" as we anticipate the Lord's return for his people and ultimately to set up his kingdom. This candle is often known as "The Angels Candle."

As we celebrate the final Sunday of Advent, let us look back and see what each of the candles represent:

1. First Candle "Hope In Him" (The Prophecy Candle)
