Peace

This Advent sermon explores the theme of peace as the second week of the Advent season. The pastor emphasizes that peace is not automatic upon becoming a believer but rather a conscious decision we must make daily. Drawing from Philippians 4, the message addresses how anxiety and worry can rob us of peace, especially when we try to control circumstances ourselves. The sermon highlights that true peace comes not from our circumstances aligning with our desires, but from surrendering to God through prayer and supplication. The pastor stresses that God watches over His word to perform it, and that His peace guards our hearts and minds even when situations don't make sense. The message concludes with the reminder that Jesus Himself is our peace, and that God places people in our lives to help us experience and maintain that peace.
