Summary
Merriam-Webster defines peace as freedom from civil disturbance and freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts and emotions. As we look around the world today, we can see that we have anything but peace–we have just the opposite–and yet in the midst of panic, in the midst of perilous times, the word of God offers us peace. We're going to spend a little bit of time talking today about the peace of God and how you can have it reign in your heart this holiday season and throughout the new year.
