Let’s hear it!

On this Advent Sunday, we discuss PEACE.

True is active. It walks into tense spaces with a steady spirit. It approaches conflict not with a heavy hand, but with a wise and gentle one. James 3 reminds us that the wisdom that comes from God produces peace—mercy-soaked, sincere, gracious peace. And that peace isn’t something we craft by our own willpower. It’s the Spirit’s work in us, growing fruit we could never grow on our own.

When God’s peace gets inside a person, it changes things. It shapes the words we choose, the tone we carry, the way we forgive. It helps us step into chaos with calm, into hurt with healing, into anger with understanding. So what does that look like on an ordinary day of the week for us? It might sound like listening instead of loading up your next comeback. It might look like being the first to say, “I’m sorry.” It might be as simple—and as hard—as praying for the person you disagree with instead of tearing them down.

God didn’t place His in you so you could hold it tight. He gave it to you so you could give it away. Wishing y’all a blessed season. Join us Sundays at 10 am for followed by fellowship.

We just can’t live life well (or grow or heal) without some help, guidance, encouragement and accountability. But there is just a lot of not awesome advice out there to be found floating around. And it’s easy to cherry pick said generic advice in order to justify our unhealthy patterns and habits. So we need help. From other real humans who are in the same room.

So I’m so grateful for the people in my circle who fill that role beautifully in my life. I trust them and they have seen beyond the shiny parts of me, which helps them give good wisdom to the real me and not the mask that I and we are sometimes tempted for show others.

This guy is a gem. Like gold or even better. He is real and honest, and I am a better man, dad and pastor because he is in my life. Thanks pastor Steve for listening to that still small voice last week and scheduling lunch for today. The timing was unbelievably perfect! And yes he has something in his teeth. And yes, I still have a cracked coffee-stained tooth. Seemed fitting not to try to edit that out.
