Communities of Renewal: Easter - Shalom by His Death, Renewal by His Life
In the death of Jesus, He purchases shalom, peace with God, with ourselves, with one another, and in creation. In this resurrection we see the promise and power of the renewal of all things, mankind being the firstfruits of new life.

Incarnational Light - Peace
The Hebrew word for “peace†is “shalomâ€. Although a typical understanding of peace is basically the absence of conflict, Shalom points to a much more wonderful hope. Shalom points to a day of “universal flourishing, wholeness, and delight.†In this message, we turn to the Bible to see how Shalom has come into the world, where it is present in the world, and how it will come again.

Advent: Peace 2008
What we need with God is shalom. We need peace with Him. We need our hearts to raise the white flag and surrender. We need the war between us to end. And that is exactly what Jesus was sent here to accomplish for us. He came as the ultimate olive branch. He came as the dove of God. He came as the very Prince of Peace. Since this is the case, what we see today is that it isn’t so much a need for God to prove His love to you more than He has by sending the gift of His Son, but our learning of and understanding what He’s done for us brings us this peace. In other words, the more you realize that God’s favor rests upon you (v. 14), the more you’ll experience peace. The favor of the only eyes in the universe that matter is calling you to great joy at this good news. God desires that we would join the angels in crying out to God, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace.†And we could finish this by saying, “because God’s favor rests on us—on me!â€

Scandalous Grace
How do our hearts respond when a prostitute kisses the body of Jesus? Do we celebrate because we can identify with her tears of repentance and joy? Or do we cringe at the thought of it? Our response to this kind of scandalous grace means everything.
