Main Ideas:
We long for peace in a chaotic world.
We think of peace as the absence of trouble, but what if it’s the presence of something greater?
The true peace of God is the wholeness of his people.
Jesus is the Prince of Shalom who will bring shalom with no end
Jesus doesn’t just give moments of calm… He brings true shalom
Thankful prayer lets us be honest with God and experience his peace.
God’s peace can outlast and overcome any chaos the world throws at you.
Invitation:
Ask God: “Where do I need your shalom right now?”
Read Philippians 4:6-7 and thank him.
Discussion Questions:
When you think of “peace,” what picture or feeling comes to mind… and where do you think that expectation came from?
Where do you feel the gap most between the “Christmas ideal” and your real life this time of year?
Which title of Jesus in Isaiah 9 (Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace) resonates most with you right now, and why?
What’s one area of your life right now where you need God’s shalom—not just an easier circumstance, but real wholeness?
Who in your life might need the peace of Jesus right now, and how might God be inviting you to be a source of calm, encouragement, or presence for them?
