Where does true peace come from in a world fractured by deep divisions? Join us this Advent season as we explore Isaiah’s prophecy of the Prince of Peace. From social media battles to family conflicts, we’re surrounded by a lack of peace – yet Jesus offers a different way. Through this 4-week series, we’ll discover how Christ’s peace transforms our relationship with God and each other. This week, Romans 5 shows us how the baby in the manger grew up to bridge the ultimate divide between humanity and God. Don’t miss this timely message about finding real peace in our polarized world.

Today, we are beginning a new four-week Advent series that looks at the one Isaiah describes as the “Prince of Peace.” We look at the question “What does it mean that Jesus is the Prince of Peace and how is that relevant in today’s world?”

1. Because of Jesus, we can have peace with God

2. Because of Jesus, we can have peace with others

3. Because of Jesus, we can have peace with the world

4. Because of Jesus, we can have peace for eternity

In 2007, Cornerstone went to Nicaragua for the first time with Because We Care Ministries. Since then, we have made over 25 trips there, serving in the remote region of Northern Nicaragua, which is the second poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Through feeding the hungry, training pastors, providing medical care, sharing the Gospel, and playing with kids, we have shared the love of Christ in many villages. Today, we are excited to have Pam Gillette, founder of Because We Care, and several of our Nicaraguan friends join us for worship.
