The Way Of Peace

True peace is not a fragile truce with the world—it is the certainty that God has dealt with our sin and made a way for salvation.In this sermon on Luke 1, Worship Pastor Clyde Copeland explores the song of Zechariah to unpack the second theme of Advent: the way of peace. Highlighting the miraculous story of John the Baptist's birth, Pastor Clyde shows how God uses ordinary people and faithful waiting to accomplish extraordinary, salvation-shaping promises. Discover why understanding Jesus requires the rich foundation of the Old Testament, how John the Baptist was uniquely called to prepare the way of the Lord, and why true, lasting peace can only be found through reconciliation with God.In this episode, we cover:God Works Through Ordinary People: Seeing how Zechariah and Elizabeth's long journey of childlessness was ultimately used to display God’s miraculous power.Connecting the Testaments: Understanding how Jesus fulfills the covenant promises made to Abraham and David throughout the Old Testament.The Mission of John the Baptist: Exploring John’s primary calling to prepare hearts for Christ by preaching repentance and the forgiveness of sins.Decreasing so Christ May Increase: Embracing the "bridesmaid" role of the church to prepare people for the groom's return rather than seeking main-character status.The Way of Peace: Contrasting the world's temporary, fragile attempts at peace with the eternal, unshakeable peace secured by the blood of Christ.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
