This last Sunday, we unpacked the Biblical idea of peace. Our english word and understanding needs to be informed by what God means when he declared through the angels, “on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14b). So we studied some texts that helped us learn about the concept of shalom (Hebrew) and eirene (Greek), and how it is Jesus, and only Jesus, who can fulfill all our desires for peace, wholeness, and completeness. To view the sermon from Sunday, 10 December, click here.
In order to help you continue delighting in this Biblical truth, we have teamed up with the Bible Project for our Advent series this year. In fact, it was this wonderful team of people who love Jesus who gave us the idea for this series in the first place! So, please take a look at the four-and-a-half minute video on Peace below. You’ll love how they take you on a visual tour through the whole Bible. And then download the study notes, also below, to use as a guide with your family, some friends, or your community group to continue exploring this rich, encouraging, biblical concept of peace.
Peace to you,
Pastor Matthew
