Prepare the Way - Peace (Advent 2023)

Pierce Point Community Church

As we delve into the theme of peace today, during this second week of exploration, let's turn our attention to the profound significance of faith in attaining true peace, particularly within the context of the Christmas story. The angels' proclamation in Luke 2:14 resounds with the promise of peace on earth, but to whom is this offer extended? According to the Scriptures, it is given to those on whom God's favor rests. So, how do we find favor with God? The answer lies in the words of Hebrews 11:6: "Without faith, it is impossible to please God." As we unravel the layers of this divine connection between faith and peace, we'll journey through the Christmas narrative and explore the title given to Jesus as the Prince of Peace in Isaiah 9:6.
