When the angel of the Lord appeared to those Levitical shepherds on the hillside to announce the birth of the baby Jesus on the Feast of Tabernacles, He said something remarkable, so remarkable that 2,000 years later the scholars cannot seem to wrap their heads around it. Peace on this Earth, good will toward our fellow man, what type of crazy talk is that? This Earth has never seen such things, but they will when the condition set by the angel of the Lord is finally met.“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Luke 2:13,14 (KJB)On this episode of Rightly Dividing, this is Part #3 of an unintentional series about Christmas and the Bible, and tonight we tag along with the shepherds on that Bethlehem hillside and listen to the angel of the Lord give His “Christmas' message. Speaking of that, you do realize that the angel of the Lord in the passage is the preincarnate Jesus, right? Am I saying that Jesus, as the angel of the Lord, is announcing His own birth? Yep, you got it, and as wild as that is, there's a lot more to uncover. Join us tonight as we see the condition that must be met in order to have peace on Earth and good will toward men.
Send us a textIn this Special Episode, we examine Christmas Peace in our World and the work task to understand how we need to work for peace, work in peace, use music, avoid chaos and our phone, use 'to do" lists and music to help. By taking the time for peace, praying and protecting our peace, we can achieve a better world around you. Using systematic basics sets, relaxing patterns and katas, with big body weight movements, and Christmas Music and Lights Glow, we can keep moving this Holiday Season. Turn your peace into action around you, avoiding gossip and drama, start focusing beyond yourself, and doing good works for others, maybe "Everyday can be like Christmas." - just like Elvis Presley says in his song that we played."Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth Peace, good will towards Men." (Luke 2:14) and in the A Charlie Brown Christmas.Support the show
In this powerful Advent message, Matthew Wright unpacks the truth that peace is not something we search for — peace is something Heaven has already delivered. Through Scripture, practical insight, and the unforgettable Krispy Kreme illustration, this sermon exposes the lies we've accepted and the peace we've ignored. Jesus didn't come so we could live stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed. He came to give us His peace — a peace stronger than chaos, louder than fear, and steadier than any storm. In this episode, you'll learn how to: • Refuse the counterfeit “deliveries” the enemy sends • Receive the peace Jesus already purchased • Live anchored in God's presence, not your circumstances • Walk confidently into your calling with peace in your pocket • Reject generational patterns and emotional battles you never ordered This Advent, unwrap the gift Heaven has already placed in your hands. Peace is your present — don't leave it unopened.
Sunday Afternoon Worship ServiceDecember 07, 2025
This sermon podcast reflects on Advent's candle of peace and Luke 2:4-7, showing how God brings shalom into our chaotic lives. The pastor shares personal stories, historical context, and Scripture (Isaiah, Romans, Galatians) to encourage listeners to dwell in God's peace, work for reconciliation, and trust God's timing. An invitation is given to find peace with God, and resources including the sermon outline are available at www.mvcnaz.org. -- HOPE OF ALL THE EARTH: PEACE Luke 2:4–7 I. Introduction Main Idea: The peace of God is not dependent on the busyness and chaos of our lives, but instead radiates from the power and presence of the Spirit of Christ working in our lives. II. The World is marked by busyness and chaos. (Galatians 4:4-5) “God Is Never Late; He's Seldom Early; He's Always Right On - Time” – Stan Toler III. God's Peace amid chaos. (Isaiah 26:3-4) God's peace meets people in the middle of chaos, not after it is all resolved. IV. True Peace is Shalom. (Isaiah 9:6-7) Biblical peace as shalom—a deep, holistic peace that is more than the absence of conflict. It is the flourishing of life, right relationships with God and others, and ultimately, the healing of creation. V. Conclusion: Live out the Hope of Peace. (Romans 12:17-21; 2 Corinthians 5:20) We are called to live as a community shaped by this hope-filled peace. Set aside time to dwell in God's peace. Actively work for peace. -- Find other Podcasts, Sermon Notes and the Bulletin here. https://www.mvcnaz.org/live Stay in touch with our Church Center App at https://www.mvcnaz.org/churchcenter Contact us through our CONNECT form at https://www.mvcnaz.org/connect With Pastor Mike Curry.

Vision Christian Fellowship | Christian Church in Canberra - Podcast
Andrew Baker | Luke 2:8-16,20; Isaiah 9:6-7, 53:5; Romans 5:1 — At the birth of Christ, the heavenly host appeared proclaiming "Glory to God" and "on Earth peace". This angelic proclamation did not mark the absence of earthly strife. Rather, God's greatest gift achieved something even more significant: Jesus came in human flesh to restore peace between humankind and God. This peace is our greatest need and invitation.
Luke tells us here about the first event that took place that night after the birth of the Lord Jesus in Bethlehem. First, an angel, in a burst of the light of “the glory of the Lord”, appeared to the shepherds with a message of “good tidings of great joy which will be for all people.” Next, this angel was joined with a multitude of the heavenly host of angels, and they also had a message for the shepherds and for the world! Their proclamation was short and very encouraging! Their first focus was on giving glory to God in heaven! "Glory to God in the highest!” Scripture teaches us that our great Creator God is the Most High God and He sits on His throne in the highest of heavens! John sums up God's purpose and plan for His creation best in Revelation 4:8-11: “Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him... worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created." Then the focus of their message turned to the earth and mankind. “And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!" The first angel spoke about great joy for all people. These angels spoke about peace for mankind! When you study Scripture, you will find after sin entered the human race in the Garden of Eden, everything that is the opposite of peace also entered it. Hatred, conflict, strife, contention, war, malice, animosity, violence, murder and so on! The first two brothers born into the human race, Cain and Abel, displayed this lack of peace when Cain out of jealousness, killed his brother Abel and tried to cover up his crime. History over the past six-thousand years reveals that nothing has changed. Look at the four world empires up to the time of Christ. The Babylonians, the Medes and Persians, the Greeks, and the Romans, all conquered the world by war. Even in this past century between 1914 to 1918, World War 1 takes place and over 16 million soldiers and civilians are killed. Then the world leaders, led by President Woodrow Wilson, proclaimed a lasting peace by starting the League of Nations. But less than 21 years later, World War 2 breaks out between 1939 to 1945, and it is estimated that 60 to 80 million soldiers and civilians are killed. Today, the wars continue with people being killed every day! Even under the Roman rule in the time of Christ there was no peace! Life was difficult at that time just as it is today. Taxes were high, unemployment was high, morals were slipping lower, and the military state was in control. Roman law, Greek philosophy, and even Jewish religion could not meet the needs of men's hearts. There can be no peace in the world or in our hearts without a Savior, without the Lord Jesus Christ! The Jewish word shalom (peace) means much more than a truce in the battles of life. It means well-being, health, prosperity, security, soundness, and completeness. It has to do more with character than circumstances. We can only find peace with God through Jesus Christ! Romans 5:1, assures us: “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ”. This peace with God is only possible “through the blood of His cross” (Colossians 1:20). The world, or any individual for that matter, will never experience peace until Jesus Christ is believed on and received into our hearts and lives. And thank God, we have that great promise that one day soon Jesus Christ will come back to this earth as the Prince of Peace! Only then will the whole world know and experience this peace that the angels proclaimed two-thousand years ago! Today, are you experiencing the goodwill and peace of God through Jesus Christ in your life? God bless!

Christmas is a festive time when we receive gifts and give gifts to our loved ones, decorate our homes, listen to good music, and eat a lot of food. But as Christians, this season means so much more than that. We celebrate the historical fact that God stepped into humanity and brought with Him gifts that changed the world: Hope, Joy, Peace, and the treasures of Heaven. Let's celebrate the God that came “Down to Earth” this Christmas together. Join us Sundays at 10 a.m. as we seek to be REAL People, who follow a REAL God and experience REAL Life.

All of humanity has sinned and been separated from God because of sin. But God had a plan to redeem his people since the beginning, and Jesus is the culmination of that plan. In this powerful message, Ps. Gladys shows us that our Savior reconciles us to God and brings us peace with God.
