War and Peace (Christmas Homily)

Luke 2: 8-14

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Peace with Others

December 18th, 2022 - Rev. Jon Storck

Ephesians 4:1-6

[1] I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, [2] with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, [3] eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— [5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Peace With Ourselves

December 4, 2022 - Rev. Cam Brown

Philippians 4:4-7

[4] Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice. [5] Let your reasonableness be known

to everyone. The Lord is at hand; [6] do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by

prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. [7] And

the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in

Christ Jesus. (ESV)
