In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Stephen Mizell explores how God brought peace to shepherds in a field before bringing it to a palace. Discover why peace isn't the absence of chaos, but the presence of Jesus Christ—and why it requires pursuit, not passivity.
The shepherds watching over sacrificial lambs were the first to hear the greatest announcement in history. Their story reveals profound truths about how God meets us in forgotten places, interrupts our ordinary moments, and transforms us from the inside out. If you're waiting for life to calm down before you can have peace, this message will challenge and encourage you.
Key Takeaways:
- Peace is not a place you escape to—it's a person you embrace
- God starts in the places the world has forgotten
- Peace begins when you realize you're not in control
- Anxiety lives in the gap between God's command and our action
- You can have peace even when your circumstances don't change
- Peace requires pursuit—you must move toward Jesus
