Peace

Dec 4, 2022    Pastor Beth Snarr

Advent is a season of waiting and waiting can be hard. As people of faith, we’re called to embody the gifts of hope, peace, joy and love while we deal with the difficulties and disappointments that come with living in an imperfect world. The prophet Isaiah pointed to the gift of the Christ-child 700 years before he came. In what ways do our lives point toward our commitment to and our gratitude for this eternal gift of Emmanuel, God with us and what does it mean for us to “wait well” in this sacred season and beyond? This sermon looks at peace using Isaiah 11:1-10. Verse 6 says “The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid… and a little child will lead them.”
