Advent: Peace in the In Between
BIG IDEA
Peace is the theme on the second Sunday of Advent. Biblical peace, or shalom, is not the absence of struggle or pain, it is the presence of something greater that can resolve the brokenness. True peace, shalom, can only be found in the One who is called the Prince of Peace — Jesus. Peace cannot be earned or manufactured. It must be received, grown, sustained and shared.
