In this Advent teaching from Luke 2, we reflect on the angels’ declaration of peace and joy through the birth of Jesus. This message reminds us that true peace is restored relationship with God, joy is rooted in Christ rather than circumstances, and both are meant to be lived out and shared. Rather than striving, we are invited to rest in Christ’s finished work and allow His peace and joy to overflow into our everyday lives.

Where might God be inviting you this week to lay down false sources of peace and rest more fully in the joy and peace He has already given you in Christ?
