Series: The Perfect Gift (Part 2)
Date: December 8, 2024
Scripture: (Luke 1:57-79)
Teacher: Mike Mileski
Often, what passes for "peace" really isn't - like in the Pax Romana, when Rome conquered and destroyed and enslaved, and the world called it "peace".
John's parents, Zechariah and Elizabeth weren't deceived because because they'd been praying for God's TRUE peace: His Shalom. Advent is their story too - the story of prayers answered, and a son who would prepare the way for Messiah, who'd teach us all the "path of peace".
