Sermon

SUNDAY LESSON, 12/15/24
 
GOD WITH US BRINGS PEACE
Luke 2:8-14; John 14:27
 
Continuing our Christmas sermon series GOD WITH US, we will see this Sunday how Christ BRINGS PEACE to our lives in the midst of pain, turmoil and conflict.
The angels sang to the shepherds the night of Jesus’ birth, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests” (Luke 2:14).  “Peace on earth” is promised to those who turn to Jesus, the Savior of the world.  However, this is not the peace the world gives, Jesus tells us in John 14:27, but a different kind of peace—an inner peace between us and God.
The peace that the world gives is fleeting; there will always be conflict and turmoil in this fallen world in which we live (Matthew 24:6).   However, the inner peace that Christ came to give between sinful men and a perfect God is eternal, having been secured by God’s peace-offering–the blood of His only begotten Son.
 
Come join us Sunday as we learn how GOD WITH US BRINGS PEACE.
