PEACE – Peace is what we all long for, but seldom live in – we all want peace in our home, with our finances, careers, future, but settle for anxiety, or even worse, chaos.

About 40 million people, about 1 in every 8 people, in US take psychiatric drugs to treat depression and/or anxiety, which means our culture breeds anxiety, and it flares up around the holidays, when we have a spike in extended family time and money spent – so, this is a perfect time to talk about what we all desperately want – PEACE.

At the end of every service, as a part of our benediction, we say “peace where there is no peace” – Jesus people should be the most peace-filled people – it’s one of the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT – we can’t give what we don’t have – As a church, we want this season to be different – we want to be a people that are not receiving the chaos the world offers, but the peace that Jesus offers, and giving the world around us an alternative perspective – so, how do we get there?
