A Son is Given

We all long for peace. From birth to death to multiple points in-between, we long for calm in the midst of the chaos of life.

But all of our attempts to find peace usually end up temporary and ineffective. How do we find true lasting peace?

In this final message in the Advent series A Son is Given, Pastor Erin Bird shows from Colossians 1:19-20 why Jesus was given the name “Prince of Peace” more than 700 years before He arrived that first Christmas Day, and how you can find a peace that surpasses understanding.

Dads make a huge difference in our lives. Their presence or absence affects us far more deeply than we may realize. The love of a good daddy can make all the difference.

Did you know that Jesus displays love like a perfect dad? Listen in to this third message in the Advent series A Son is Given to discover why Isaiah called Jesus “Everlasting Father.”

Listen in to this second message in the A Son is Given Advent series to be reminder or even to discover that Jesus isn’t just a great human, but rather the Mighty God.
