"…In Our Hopelessness", part of the series "And On Earth—Peace…". A conversation revealing how our hope brings us peace (Isaiah 9:2, 6-7).

At the first Christmas, the angels declared that because God’s Son had stepped down into our darkness, there would now be peace on earth. But what exactly is this peace from God? What does this peace look like when our life situation is incredibly difficult? Join us this Advent season as we hear stories from our own church people telling us how God can, in fact, bring His peace into their troubled situations.

"A New Conception Of Work", part of the series "Life On Purpose". The Bible talks about our work as a vehicle for God's loving provision for the world, through both His people and His enemies. God's loving care for people quite often comes through the labors of others, both believers and unbelievers who seek to do good work for the benefit of their families and neighbors (Isaiah 28:24-29).
