Preaching
There are so many areas in our lives that pit us against one another. We just completed rivalry week in College football. We just completed a contentious election cycle that has highlighted the differences we embody in our society and the world. We are Team Coca-Cola or we are Team Pepsi. Team Edward or Team Jacob. In this season of Advent, we turn our attention to the return of Christ. But while we wait for the return of Jesus, we embrace God?s call to be peacemakers. Yet to embrace a call of peacemaking, we need to receive God?s gift of peace.
We as the people of God live in the age of the peace of God. We know that chaos is the operating narrative of the media and politicians. If we let the world write the narrative, it would seem that peace is unattainable. But we worship a God who sees peace as an overriding narrative of his followers.
