What brings peace at Christmas? Members of Our Voices Matter reflect on peace through Jesus, family, worship, silence, and moments of belonging. Their voices invite us to notice peace not only in quiet, but also in shared life and community.
Advent invites us to remember God’s promise of abundant peace. This reflection considers how that peace appears in different life experiences—from conflict to community, from suffering to belonging—and how Christ calls us to live into peace even now.
Discover the profound gift of peace through Christ in this heartfelt reflection by Tina Julien. Amid life’s storms and chaos, God's peace offers calm, hope, and purpose. Explore how prayer, scripture, and trust in His presence can transform your heart this Advent.
Everyone tells me to be glad Everyone tells me I should sing, Says ‘Peace, peace,’ But there is no peace.
During this season of forced and mutual deprivation, when our consolations are taken from us one by one and we are continually and graphically reminded of the mortality of our species, I turn to the men I support for wisdom and guidance.
In Bekoji, Ethiopia, a place that housed tools of war is becoming a place that will offer supports which will nourish and grow the community. This is all because its members now rightly believe that their children with disabilities are image-bearers of God. That's a light I can live in.
Does your church work to show your community that people with disabilities are truly welcomed and embraced? If not, what good is your faith? Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead, but faith that is accompanied by action is a beautiful offering of love toward God and other people."
