Podcasts about advent peace

In Philippians 4:1–9, Paul invites us to lift our eyes to what is eternal, tend to what is happening internally, and live it out externally in our daily lives. This passage challenges us to face conflict, anxiety, and disappointment with peace rooted in knowing how the story ends. As Paul calls us to rejoice, pray instead of replay our worries, and fix our minds on what is good, we're reminded that God's peace actively guards our hearts and shapes how we show up in the world.OUTLINE:Eternal   4:1-3Internal  4:4-7External 4:8-9 QUESTIONS:4:1-3 Does knowing that your name is written in the “Book of Life” change the way you approach conflict, anxiety and disappointment right now?

Using Isaiah 2 and Psalm 122 Bryony explores the “now and not yet” of the promised peace we wait for during advent and asks how we can prepare for the coming of the kingdom.

Peace is mentioned ad nauseam around Christmas time, but how do we understand what it means to have peace? First, we must understand that peace is a person, not a feeling.

For centuries, followers of Jesus have participated in Advent during the weeks leading up to Christmas. Advent, a word meaning "arrival," is a season where we rehearse the story of God — recognizing that the story of Jesus is not one story among many that we choose from, but its the story of reality. For the next 4 weeks leading up to Christmas, we will slow down together, ponder, contemplate, and participate in Jesus-centered practices… helping us make room to celebrate the Hope, Peace, Joy and Love of God revealed through the birth of Jesus. In this week's message, Associate Pastor Kelsey Weller continues our series by exploring the theme of peace. We'd love to connect with you!

We live in a world filled with noise, conflict, fear, and distraction. But into that world Jesus came announcing something radical: Peace. Not the fragile, temporary peace the world offers— but peace with God, peace within ourselves, and peace with one another. This week, Pastor Jimmy walks us through Scripture to show how the gospel brings reconciliation with God, how the Holy Spirit forms peace within us, and how believers are called to live peaceably with all.  

Pastor Mike Nafziger  Sermon: Peace  Passage: Isaiah 9:6-7, Ephesians 2:13-14, Luke 24, 36, Romans 12:18-21, Philippians 4:6-7, Luke 2:8-14 & Matthew 5:9  Series: Advent 2025  December 7, 2025 

Herod the Great is yet another example of the anti-peace of this world.Matthew 2:1 - 18"It is clear how such a man would feel when news reached him that a child was born who was destined to be king.  Herod was troubled, and Jerusalem was troubled, too, for Jerusalem knew well the steps that Herod would take to pin down this story and to eliminate this child.  Jerusalem knew Herod, and Jerusalem shivered as it waited for his inevitable reaction." William Barclay

Pastor Terry Brown teaches that true peace is far more than a feeling or cultural symbol—it is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, reconciliation with God through Christ's coming (Advent peace), and the personal gift of Jesus' own peace. Using humor and Scripture, he contrasts counterfeit “hippie peace” and seasonal chaos with the biblical peace that produces both internal calm and harmonious relationships, ultimately bridging the gap between God and mankind through the cross.

ADVENT PEACE

During Advent, we reflect on the coming of Jesus - past, present and future. Jesus is our Prince of Peace, who brings healing and wholeness into our relationships with God and with others.

Come and celebrate Advent at Bright City Church! Each week, we'll observe the different themes of Advent in preparation for Christmas. Listen to this week's sermon with Pastor Alex Regalado as he engages the second theme of Advent: Peace.

And here's part two! This Bible study explores Advent hope and peace, but through the unlikely angle of fear, grief, expectations, legacy, and more. What do we have faith in? What are we working for? And how can we hold on to hope and become peacemakers in the face of so much stacked against it?

Pastor Scott Martin continues our Advent season as we prepare for the arrival of Jesus on Christmas!

Not Just a Fleeting Moment or an Elusive Dream... Romans 5:1 (NIV)“Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” God Loved Us So Much that He Sent His Son to Redeem Mankind and Restore Our Peace with Him.  Judges 6:23-24 (NIV)“But the Lord said to him, ‘Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die.' So, Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it The Lord is Peace.” 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)“Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.”

“Jesus said, I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart!

This Sunday, we continue our Advent series, and we're looking at the beautiful promise of peace. To do that, we'll travel back about 3,500 years to hear the prophet Isaiah's words: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…” (Isaiah 9:6–7). When Isaiah first spoke those words, peace was not the reality of his world. God's people were anxious and under threat. Yet Isaiah pointed to a future peace that would not come through armies or politics, but through a child, the One who would be called the Prince of Peace. As we open Luke chapter 2, we'll see that Jesus entered a world every bit as chaotic as our own. Rome ruled with power, fear was constant, and even the king sought to kill Jesus upon his birth. Yet into that darkness, God sent light. The angels' announcement, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom He is pleased,” reminds us that Jesus came not to end political wars, but to restore peace where it was most needed: between God and humanity. The peace of Christmas is not a sentimental wish; it's a spiritual reality that begins when we are reconciled to God through faith in Christ.

Welcome to the second week of our Advent Meditation Journey. In this sacred season of waiting, we turn our attention to peace—not just as a feeling, but as a way of being rooted in God's presence. This meditation invites you to pause, breathe deeply, and explore the longings that stir beneath the surface. However you are today—tense or calm, weary or expectant—you are welcome here. Let this be a moment to bring your whole self before God and receive the peace that passes understanding. To receive all four meditations, visit  https://thethrivecenter.org/ and sign up for our newsletter  https://youtu.be/FYCPLepj1kU We at the Thrive Center wish you a season filled with the hope, peace, joy, and love of Christ.

Because Jesus is our peace, we can be a people of peace.In the second week of Advent, we consider Micah 5:2-5, and how it encourages us in light of Christ, the prince of peace, to be a people of peace.

Martin leads a discussion of the topic of peace as we continue our celebration of Advent.
