Message: “A Kingdom of Peace” from JoAnn Johnson
JoAnn Johnson - December 8, 2024
A Kingdom of Peace
The word "peace" at this time of year evokes holding a hot cooca and a harmonious home, sitting near a glistening tree. But most of us know that this sort of picture of peace is either fleeting or absent from many of our season's experiences. Listen in as Pastor JoAnn Johnson gives us a closer look at the prophecies of Christ's coming and the peace that is offered to us this season and everyday!
From Series: "That's the Point (Christmas 2024)"
In our annual celebration of Advent, the time of anticipation leading up to Christmas, it is easy to forget that the whole Bible has a heavy emphasis on waiting. Two thirds of the Bible (approximately) tells the story of creation and the Fall, briefly, followed by God's plan to restore humanity to his original plan. This unfolding plan takes a covenant people, Israel, and tells how they are going to plan an important role in bringing about the Savior of the world: the Messiah! That's the point of all the prophecies and promises! They all point toward Christ the Lord. God has come, in the person of Jesus, to rescue humanity. Join us in this Advent series, as we look at a few of the prophetic promises and how they find their "point" in Jesus.
