An Altogether Peace: Doing Good, Redeeming Time and Shalom

Week 2 of An Almost Christmas

We began with Hope and we continue in a quest for Peace.
This Sunday we celebrate the Second Sunday of Advent!
We light the candle of Peace and Pastor Michelle continues her sermon series, Almost Christmas: A Wesleyan Advent Experience.

Read John 14: 1-4,15-21 and 25-27 and consider the questions below in preparation for the message. 

Questions for Reflection (for the sermon and beyond)

1. Describe your favorite go to place, person or activity of peace?  What would it take to engage it more?
2. Where does peace most elude you these days?   Where is your heart most troubled? 
3. Reflect on John Wesley’s anecdote for peace (listen for what it is in the sermon).  What does ‘redeeming time’ look like for you.  How is that peace-producing?
4. What does constructing Shalom look like; within you own hearts, with others, for our community, for the world?
