Peace

We gather during Advent to celebrate the peace that Christ brings into our turbulent world, and this message invites us to discover what true biblical peace really means. The Hebrew word 'shalom' isn't just about quietness or safety—it encompasses completeness, restoration, wholeness, and contentment. When the angels announced Christ's birth in Luke 2, proclaiming 'peace on earth,' they were declaring something revolutionary: God Himself was entering our chaos to reconcile us to Himself. We explore the profound truth that peace isn't manufactured by human effort or purchased through worldly means, but is a person—Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
