Advent simply means “coming.” Christ came the first time to earth, born of a virgin, to die for the sins of humanity. Christmas is a celebration of the first Advent and a consideration of the second, when Christ will return to establish His reign forever and ever.

The prophet Isaiah had a lot to say about peace (“shalom” in Hebrew), the theme of the second week of Advent. What does the Bible say about peace? Is there more to “shalom” than a lack of conflict? Come and join us and make sure Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is ruling in your heart and life and you can, as a result, experience the perfect peace only He can offer…and does offer!
