It feels poignant that this week, we visit Jerusalem in our Advent story, and the city is known as “the city of peace.” Certainly, we’ve been focused on the difficulties of prevailing peace in this turbulent part of the world, even today. There is also the matter of our own “new Jerusalem” within. We wait for the day when we will feel more peace and have more peace within ourselves. This week, we ask, “What are we waiting for?” and we learn that what happens within us while we wait is as important as the outcome. Can we be at peace–work for peace–”live peaceably”–even while waiting?
We’ll be live on Facebook on Sunday at 11:00, or you can watch any time on Facebook or YouTube.
