A Vision of Peace (Isaiah 11.1-10)

On this Second Sunday of Advent, we light the Candle of Peace, symbolizing the beautiful "peace on earth" the angels proclaimed, and that special inner peace available to us today, found in the arrival and life of Jesus Christ! Pastor Angela brings a Christmas message on Jesus, our Prince of Peace, from Genesis 4:1-16.

Are You Searching For Peace?

This second week of Advent, Renea Smith leads us in considering what it means to be light-bearers in a world still waiting for Christ's return. Drawing from John 1:6-9, we encounter John the Baptist not primarily as a baptizer, but as a witness—someone whose entire existence pointed away from himself and toward Jesus. His humility is striking: despite angelic prophecies, despite being called by God for a special mission, John never wavered in his declaration that 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' This Advent reflection challenges us to examine our own lives through the lens of witness and testimony. Are we orienting ourselves correctly toward the true light? Like those reflective umbrellas used in professional photography, we must position ourselves to fully catch the light of Christ so we can reflect it accurately to others. The message reminds us that we live in the 'in-between'—celebrating that Jesus has come while anticipating His return—and in this space, we're called to be tethered to Christ, helping others navigate the darkness. The powerful image of a blind runner connected to her guide by a yellow tether becomes a metaphor for our spiritual journey: we're linked to Christ in the heavenly realms, and through that connection, we can guide others who cannot yet see. This isn't about having all the answers or a spectacular testimony; it's about keeping it simple and sharing how encountering Jesus has specifically changed us.

07 12 2025 | Advent Sunday

Lent and Advent are the most challenging seasons of the Christian calendar because during them we receive the most difficult, demanding, bad news ever to be called good - The Cross. Twice a year our worlds are rocked, our tables are turned, demons are put to wrought, and dead dreams are brought back to life. 

Jesus is the reason for this season, and frankly for every season. And lest we domesticate the Lord to mere flannel graphs and perfectly manicured manger scenes, we can’t forget Lent during Advent, the shadow of the cross lingers over the manger.

For, the baby born king we worship here and now grows in spirit and wisdom enough to call the powers and principalities to task. J the B might hit us with some harsh words here in December, but they can’t hold a flame to what J the C says and does. Jesus will not relent to the world. In fact, Jesus overcomes the world.

The promise of Advent is that no matter what stumps us in life, no matter how many dead ends we encounter, God is going to make a way where there is no way. Predator and prey will dwell together. Peace will reign. A child will lead us.
