Peace is the theme of the 2nd week of Advent and one of the central promises of the Bible.

And yet for many of us, true peace - both inward and in creation - is very elusive.

How can we find inner calm when so much of the world is hurting? Would we not have to turn a blind eye to suffering? Indeed, is not the way to peace on Earth the labor of God's people?

Today we look again at Psalm 46 and a deep lesson on the nature of peace and and the means by which we can truly experience it (memory and faith).

The biblical passage referenced in this sermon is:

• Psalm 46 (NRSV)
