Making Peace • PEACE

Dec 7, 2025    Joel Halpin

This sermon offers a rich, nuanced understanding of peace, especially at Christmas. It rejects superficial or external fixes, focusing instead on the transformational peace given by Christ that begins within individuals and overflows into the world. The peacemaker’s role is both identity and mission, calling believers to embody and proclaim God’s peace amid chaos and conflict, trusting in God’s eternal presence and ultimate victory. The message inspires hope and empowerment, reminding listeners that Christmas is about more than celebration—it’s about living as agents of God’s peace in a troubled world.
