Finding Peace in Difficult Times

Matt Edmundson
See this content in the original post

Here’s a summary of this week’s sermon:

  • We live in a frantic world at the moment. We have unjust wars that cost lives and bring misery; we have the cost of living crisis, high-interest rates and inflation. Politicians seem to be doing things that don't make sense...making this Christmas particularly difficult for many of us.

  • For those searching for peace amidst worry and anxiety, trying to find peace in a frantic world, and looking for hope in times of uncertainty, stress, and chaos, join us as we look at the very first Christmas.

  • The Bible tells us that Christ's mother, Mary, was greatly favoured and that God was with her (Luke 1:28), yet Christ came in very difficult times, where politicians and leaders did unspeakable acts of evil for their own self-gain. In this story, we find hope and the underlying truth that we too can find peace in difficult times, even at Christmas.

💬 CONVERSATION STREET --

Matt + John talk about:

  • How the message of peace is relevant to current events.

  • Experiencing Jesus as peace in difficult times.

  • How Prayer and Gratitude helps us find peace in difficult times.

  • Jesus is the Prince of Peace and he can fill us with His presence and peace.

  • Journaling as a way to tell God what we need and reflect on His plan for us.

  • How simple obedience leads to God’s peace in our lives.
