December 8, 2013: Advent Week Two: Peace – Dave Neuhausel

Peace is far more than the absence of conflict. It speaks to being whole. It speaks toward things being put together the way they were always supposed to be. This is the essence of peace, of shalom. But is this even possible? How many of us feel frayed, worn out, broken? 

Christmas is a time when we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace. The one who would come to not only eradicate conflict, but to bring the wholeness back to this earth and to the hearts of those on whom his favor rests.
