Advent Week 3 (Peace) 2025

This message is from Dec 21st 2025 on Advent Week 3 (Peace). We're very sorry for the inconvience but it seems Week 2 of Advent (Joy) is unavailable at this time.Advent HistoryAdvent is something the church has been practicing for manycenturies. It started around the 4th and 5th century, mostlyin Spain and Gaul (what is now France), as a time for believersto prepare their hearts before celebrating the birth of Jesus. Theword “Advent” simply means coming or arrival. Over time itbecame a four-week season where we slow down and remindourselves why Jesus came the first time—and that He’s comingagain. Each week we light a candle to help us focus on what Hiscoming brings into our lives: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love.Advent helps us prepare our hearts, reminding us that Jesus iswith us, and to recognizing that God is still at work in our worldtoday.There is a scripture Reading from Luke 2:8-15 (NKJV)The following are scriptures that were referenced during the message: James 4:6 (NLT)  And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say,“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”These are scriptures about How Jesus is the Prince of Peace: Isaiah 9:6“,Ephesians 2:14“, Micah 5:5“, 2 Thessalonians 3:16Romans 5:1 (NKJV)Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace withGod through our Lord Jesus Christ,Colossians 3:15 (NKJV)And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also youwere called in one body; and be thankful.John 14:27 (NKJV)Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you.
