Advent is a season of preparation… and proclamation! How can we be a people who stands up for God’s peace, justice and love in our world? In this series, we’ll draw from Kathy Khang’s book, the Old Testament prophets and Mary’s journey to Bethlehem.
It’s time to speak up!

YHWH Shalom - Peace
When we are confronted by either the needs in our world or God's call for us to address those needs, it's easy to become paralyzed. To think that we're not capable enough, that what's really needed is some sort of Christian superhero. But the story of Gideon reminds us that God doesn't require superhumans to accomplish wonders. Rather, God calls ordinary people and equips them. God requires of us the same thing he required of Gideon: that we respond to God's call with the strength we have. That we join Yahweh-Shalom, the God of Peace, in restoring all things.
