Advent of Peace
Message two in our Lighthouse 805 Advent series is on Peace. Experiencing life without peace, how to find it, and recognizing the true gift of peace that only comes through Jesus. In this Christmas season, so many struggle with the rollercoaster of emotions the season seems to bring to the surface. But peace, true peace, is just a moment away.
