The End of Hostilities

On this final Sunday of Advent, the Sunday of Peace, we considered a passage from Matthew's Gospel, mostly focusing on Joseph, and asked, "What does peace look like?" The world has some interesting ideas about peace, but what is God's perspective? And what about His perspective on hostilities? A quick passage from Ephesians, and a marvelous quote from the Church Father Chromatius, ended our teaching time.
By the way, an audio issue in the first 2 minutes makes Pastor Chris sound like he is a robot. He is in fact not a robot, so don't be alarmed. The rest of the podcast is smooth sailing.
