Advent 2 (2020) - Peace Within and Peace on Earth

Peace is the theme of the 2nd week of Advent and one of the central promises of the Bible.

And yet for many of us, true peace - both inward and in creation - is very elusive.

How can we find inner calm when so much of the world is hurting? Would we not have to turn a blind eye to suffering? Indeed, is not the way to peace on Earth the labor of God's people?

Today we look again at Psalm 46 and a deep lesson on the nature of peace and and the means by which we can truly experience it (memory and faith).

The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:

• Psalm 46 (NRSV)

It was preached on December 6, 2020 at Canvas Presbyterian Church (Irvine, CA). If you'd like to see the whole worship service, you can find it here. Or subscribe to the Canvas Vimeo page for our video archive or to see future worship services!
