   #017 Refuge Talk - Advent: Peace

   Luke 2:1-7 At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 2 (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. 4 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. 5 He took with him Mary, to whom he was engaged, who was now expecting a child. 6 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. 7 She gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. Luke 2:13-14 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” So what is peace? Peace, noun - Freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions. Harmony in personal relations. A pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity. I. Peace came to earth through Bethlehem Micah 5:2 & 5a But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, are only a small village among all the people of Judah. Yet a ruler of Israel, whose origins are in the distant past, will come from you on my behalf… 5 And he will be the source of peace… Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. II. Peace comes when we Praise 13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, Isaiah 57:18-20 I have seen what they do, but I will heal them anyway! I will lead them.
I will comfort those who mourn,19 bringing words of praise to their lips.
May they have abundant peace, both near and far,” says the Lord, who heals them. 20 “But those who still reject me are like the restless sea, which is never still but continually churns up mud and dirt. Psalm 34:1-4 1 I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises. 2 I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart. 3 Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together. 4 I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. THREE WAYS PRAISE BRINGS PEACE 1. PRAISE SETS OUR MINDS ON GOD. 2. PRAISE GETS US OUT OF APATHY. 3. PRAISE CROWDS OUT FEAR. III. Peace comes when God is Pleased 14 “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.” Psalm 34:14. Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it. Jeremiah 29:13 If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me. Philippians 2:12 Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. “If you want peace, you must prepare for war.” In our spiritual walk, if we want to have peace in our lives we must prepare ourselves for spiritual warfare. There are going to be battles for our souls, it is only by being in God’s Word, in prayer, and fully trusting in Jesus for our hope shall we find peace in the midst of the fight.

    #007 The Battle Plan: Engaging in Apologetics

    Wk 1 – Know the Battle. Objective and Loadout 1 Peter 3:15b (NLT) 15b And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. Be ready to explain it… In the New King James Version that last part reads “always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you” The Greek word here is apologia – a legal term meaning “a formal defense or justification of one's actions or opinions” Voddie Baucham defines apologetics as “knowing what we believe, why we believe it and being able to communicate that to others in a winsome and effective way.” That seems pretty straightforward, but apologetics is something we tend to leave to the formally trained doctors in theology, our modern day wise men. They debate on stages with well thought through arguments, evidence, charisma and confidence. They are the special forces Christians, and we mere common followers don’t identify apologetics as something we can do at our level.
