Faith,
Fill in these lyrics if you can!
-
“________ on earth, goodwill to men” – from “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”
-
“Sleep in heavenly ________” – from “Silent Night”
-
“________ on earth and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled” – from “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing”
Would you like to guess what our theme for Sunday is? That’s right! Peace! It wasn’t Hallmark or John Lennon who tied peace and Christmas together. It was the Bible! After all, what did the angels sing from heaven?
“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
That’s good news! But if the Prince of Peace came to bring us peace, where’s the peace?! My guess is you have some friends or family members who ask that very question. Maybe you’re asking it! This Sunday would be a great Sunday to bring your family and a friend because we all long for peace, but biblical peace is not a feeling but a Person!
I hope to see you Sunday!
Passionate for His Peace,
Pastor Brad
