This sermon addresses the universal human struggle with peace, demonstrating that genuine peace cannot be found in worldly circumstances, relationships, or material possessions, but only through Jesus Christ. Pastor Brent Sivnksty establishes that while the world celebrates peace during Christmas, true peace requires more than the absence of conflict—it demands a personal relationship with Christ. Through the lens of Colossians 3:15, the message emphasizes three foundational truths: peace is only found in the person and work of Jesus Christ, those who have peace with God can know peace from God, and believers must actively allow Christ's peace to rule in their hearts. The sermon challenges Christians to submit to Christ's authority, allowing His peace to act as a referee or umpire in their lives, making decisions based on God's Word rather than emotions or circumstances. Pastor Brent emphasizes that biblical thoughts must lead to biblical actions, which then produce biblical feelings—not the reverse. Key Points: True peace is only found in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is identified as the Prince of Peace Peace with God comes through justification by faith in Christ's death and resurrection, not through works or religion Believers who have peace with God have access to peace from God through their relationship with Christ Many Christians fail to experience God's peace because they don't "let" or allow it to rule in their hearts The peace of Christ must "rule" (act as referee/umpire) in our hearts, making decisions based on God's Word Biblical peace requires submission to Christ's sovereign authority and trust in His promises Biblical thinking must precede biblical action, which then produces biblical feelings—not the other way around Common obstacles to peace include fear of the known and unknown, financial problems, health issues, fear of failure, fixation on others, loneliness, temptation, spiritual defeat, irritations of life, and resistance to change A thankful heart is necessary to maintain a peaceful heart, while ingratitude produces discontentment and strife Personal peace with God affects our relationships with others in the body of Christ Scripture References: Colossians 3:1, 15 (primary text) Isaiah 9:6 Acts 10:36 Ephesians 2:13-17 Ephesians 6:15 Colossians 1:20 Romans 5:1-5 John 16:33 John 14:27 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Peter 1:2 Isaiah 26:3 Romans 12 (end of chapter) Romans 15:33

Most of us live with the quiet confidence of “I've got this.”We plan, we build, we hustle—and we assume God will bless whatever we put our hands to.But what if the real issue isn't what you're building…What if it's who you're building with?In this message, “Build With Him, Not Without Him,” Pastor Brent walks through Proverbs 16 and delivers a timely, heart-checking reminder as we close out the year: Life was never meant to be built independently of God.Through scripture, personal stories, and real-life examples, this sermon challenges the mindset of self-sufficiency and invites us into a better way—partnering with the Lord in every plan, step, and season.In this sermon, you'll hear about:- The danger of saying “I've got this” and why self-reliance eventually falls short- The difference between God's process and God's answer- Why checking your motives is essential if you want God involved in what you're building- How committing your plans to the Lord leads to lasting successWhether you're building a career, a family, a business, or your future—this message will challenge you to ask one crucial question:Am I building with Him… or without Him?If you're ready to stop carrying the weight alone and start trusting God to direct your steps, this message is for you.

Drawing from Matthew 2, Pastor Brent reflects on the Magi's long journey to Jesus and the profound gift they offered beyond gold, frankincense, and myrrh: their worship, loyalty, and devotion.
