Message: “To our Prince of Peace: “¡Viva el Rey” (Isaiah 2:1-5, Micah 5:1-5a)” from David Carey Dixon

A message from the series "Sunday Service." Doomsayers abound today, with predictions of nuclear war, devastation, and socio-economic collapse. The ongoing bellicose confrontations and political conflicts around our world make us long for the true Prince of Peace. But considering all the brokenness that war brings and the enduring lack of peace in our world, how can Christians claim that the baby of Bethlehem, so celebrated on this day, is really the “Prince of Peace”? Especially with all the wars that have been fought in His name by people claiming to be under His rule?! Yet at Jesus’ birth, the angel chorus declared, “Peace on earth among those whom God has favored!” That message, announced for all humankind, is as necessary today as at any time in history; and all those who put their faith in Jesus find Him to be the true Savior, the King who came and proclaimed His covenant of peace, setting up His “sanctuary” among His people (Ezek. 37:26-28), and lifting His “banner” over us as love (Song of Sol. 2:4). Christmas is about the good news of this revolutionary new kingdom of true peace in Jesus Christ!

Maturity in our Gratitude (Philippians 4:10-20)

Maturity in our Gratitude (Philippians 4:10-20)

Our series on growing in mature discipleship, which we began on Jan. 1, comes to its conclusion today with a look at how we grow in gratefulness, thanks to Bro. Larry McCrary. With the help of several different preachers, we have covered a lot of topics, though not nearly all of them. This subject is really endless, but I hope the series has at least encouraged us in the direction of greater intentionality in the pursuit of our relationship with the Lord Jesus. He is actually the One who is pursuing us, every day, but only as we respond to His invitation do we become more aware of how much He truly loves us and longs for our regular communion with Him — and what a difference it makes in us!
