>> Which one of these words best describes your present emotions? conflict, hopelessness, anger, emptiness, loneliness. We could just go on down the list of those emotions that often times just absolutely overpower people. I wonder where the emotion of peace fits in that. For some people, they’d say, “Well, peace is sort of out there somewhere.

I don’t even know what it is.” Sometimes I think I have it, sometimes I don’t. And so peace to them is something they hope one of these days they may be able to grasp. But you know what? Most people never will because they avoid the very essence of what peace is all about. And in this message, you will hear me talk about what this peace is all about and how you can lose it.

And you say, “Well, I don’t think I’ve ever found it.” I want to show you how you can really find it. And I want us to turn, if you will, to a passage in the Old Testament and the ninth chapter of Isaiah, beginning in the sixth verse of Isaiah chapter 9. For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us, and the government will rest on his shoulders, and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
