Today's talk comes from pastor Louis Giglio.

Last week we established Ben and I together in our two separate locations that peace is a person. Peace isn't just an idea, but peace actually is a person.

His name is the prince of peace.

This was the prophecy of Jesus.

This is what was promised hundreds of years before the angel appeared to the

Shepherds. There's going to be one who's going to come. A child is going to be born

and his name will be called among other things wonderful counselor, prince of peace. And so if we're looking

for peace today, we've got to start with a person, but what we really want to establish

today is it's not quite that simple. It's not as easy as saying, oh, there's someone named the Prince of Peace therefore I'm

going to experience peace in my life everyone in our house knows for the most part

that a decade ago I fell into a whole of depression and anxiety that almost took me out of life.

I would have said at that point in life, only did I know Jesus I committed my life to Jesus not only had I

committed my life to Jesus I was following Jesus not only was I following Jesus I was serving Jesus not only was I following Jesus I was serving Jesus. Not only was I serving Jesus.

I was going all over the whole world preaching about Jesus.

But yet for some reason I didn't have the peace of God operational in my life.

And so today we're just understanding that even though the idea of peace and the person of peace is in the midst today,

it's possible that somebody in one of these galleries may not be experiencing peace in your life and that's the step we want to take today.

That's the two ideas that we want to bridge together today when we sing silent night and we're going to do that.

If you haven't already done it in this season, you're going to do it soon.
