    On this 3rd Sunday of Advent, God speaks to our hearts about Christmas Peace. The Apostle Paul explained God’s peace as a “peace that surpasses all understanding.” But let’s take a few moments today and look at peace as presented to us in God’s Word.

God showed us that the reality of Christmas is the fact that our Savior has come. The miracle of Christmas is also that our Savior ...read more
