Therefore, preaching about fornication sometimes does little good because people think we are talking about some other kind of deviant ...read more

    Contributed by Dean Courtier on Dec 1, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,436 views

    Advent is the season where the Church intentionally remembers that Christ came into a violent, divided, restless world as the Prince of Peace. Every generation searches for peace — world peace, inner peace, peace of mind — yet peace remains elusive.

    Go! And Live in the Peace of Christ (Advent Peace) Romans 5:1 (NLT): “Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.” Psalm 119:165 (NLT): “Those who love your instructions have great peace and do not ...read more
