A Weary World Rejoices: Week Two
Sunday, DECEMBER 14, 2025 - PASTOR CHRIS REA
Luke 2:8 (NIV): And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
Luke 2:9 (NIV) An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.”
Luke 2:10 (NIV) But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. “Do not be afraid.”
Luke 2:11-12 (NIV) Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
Luke 2:13-14 (NIV) Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,“Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Main Point: Jesus didn’t bring peace to the world. Jesus is peace in the world.
Begin every day by surrendering one specific area of chaos to Christ.
Do it with:
- Your marriage
- Your schedule
- That relationship that drains you
- Your finances
- Your mental battles
- Your stress at work
- Your fears
- Your anxieties
- Your uncertainty
