A Season of Peace

The Second Sunday of Advent: A Season of Peace

Bringhurst Community Church

As we continue our journey through the Advent season, we arrive at the Second Sunday of Advent, a day traditionally focused on Peace. While the world around us grows busier with Christmas preparations, Advent invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and center our hearts on the One who brings true peace—Jesus Christ.

The Promise of God’s Peace

Long before the birth of Jesus, the prophet Isaiah foretold a Savior who would carry peace into a weary world:

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given…And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”— Isaiah 9:6 (NIV)

The peace Jesus offers is not temporary, fragile, or dependent on circumstances. It is a deep, steady calm rooted in His presence—a peace that reaches into our fears, anxieties, and uncertainties.

Peace in a Troubled World

Jesus Himself promised His followers a peace unlike anything the world could provide:

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”— John 14:27 (NIV)

During Advent, we remember that Jesus came not only to bring peace to the world, but also peace to each of us personally. Whatever we are carrying—stress, loss, uncertainty, or busyness—He offers a quiet stillness for our souls.

Living Out Peace Today

As we light the second candle of Advent, we are reminded that God calls us not only to receive peace but also to be people who share peace.

This week, consider:

• Where do you need God’s peace in your life?

• How can you offer peace to someone else?

• What distractions can you set aside to better listen to Him?

Advent invites us into moments of reflection, prayer, and renewed trust in the One who rules with peace.
