Greetings:
 This Sunday we come to our final sermon in our series on peace. 1Timothy 2:1-6 is our text as we talk about world peace! World peace.... Do you even believe peace is possible? Unfortunately, I don't think most of us do. Peace sounds good, and in our mind looks good, it makes a lovely image to think about, but unfortunately it isn't very grounded in the reality of the world we live in, right? Paul gives Timothy some pretty wise advice that I believe will help each of us understand a little more completely about our role in attaining world peace. I look forward to seeing you this Sunday as we look at the possibilities! Blessings, Beth |
