The word peace is everywhere during Christmas—on decorations, signs, and social media—but many of us still struggle to actually experience it. In this message, we cut through the noise to uncover the deeper, biblical meaning of peace and what Jesus brings as the Prince of Peace (Sar Shalom).

Scripture reveals two kinds of peace. First, peace with God—the reconciliation made possible through Christ, where our past no longer defines us. Second, the peace of God—a perfect, sustaining rest that comes when our minds are fixed on Him. Drawing from Isaiah 26 and the Hebrew phrase shalom shalom (perfect peace), we discover that real peace isn’t found in the absence of problems, but in the presence of God.

This message explores the paradox of peace: it’s not found through control, but through surrender. When we rely on our own understanding, we tend to fall in that direction. But when we practice samak—fully leaning our weight on God—we experience a peace that surpasses understanding, even in the middle of chaos.

This Christmas season, ask yourself: Where am I truly leaning? And take comfort in this truth—the One who calms the storm is already in the boat with you.
