[491.86 --> 491.98] Yeah.
[492.08 --> 493.58] But they pick them up again.
[494.90 --> 495.70] If only.
[495.82 --> 496.72] And we have all the if only.
[496.84 --> 497.80] Then we'd have peace.
[497.88 --> 498.06] Right?
[498.06 --> 500.08] We see this in the world.
[500.18 --> 501.30] Trying to figure it out too.
[502.38 --> 503.26] Biblical peace.
[503.52 --> 506.50] Reaches way beyond how our culture defines it.
[506.74 --> 508.60] Or how we often define it too I think.
[508.80 --> 509.68] And how we live it out.
[510.00 --> 510.22] You know.
[510.34 --> 512.48] Let's all just get along.
[513.40 --> 514.98] But we never ask the hard question.
[515.28 --> 516.80] Why don't we get along?
[519.30 --> 520.98] Why am I always picking a fight here?
[522.48 --> 524.66] Why am I always getting into arguments?
[524.66 --> 524.90] Gee.
[524.98 --> 525.92] Maybe there's something with you.
[525.92 --> 528.02] Or with the world.
[528.16 --> 528.56] And issues.
[528.68 --> 529.28] And complexities.
[529.68 --> 529.88] It's.
[530.18 --> 530.50] You know.
[530.58 --> 531.82] Why is it happening?
[533.38 --> 533.58] And.
[534.10 --> 534.24] You know.
[534.58 --> 535.58] Another big word.
[535.76 --> 536.14] You know.
[536.18 --> 537.10] We have sin.
[538.80 --> 539.24] Brokenness.
[539.54 --> 540.92] We sang about that.
[541.00 --> 541.12] Right?
[541.72 --> 542.74] Brokenness happens.
[545.60 --> 547.00] What do I do with that?
[548.68 --> 551.32] How is that keeping me from peace inside of myself.
[551.44 --> 553.48] And in my relationship with others as well.
[553.48 --> 554.74] And.
[554.74 --> 555.46] And somehow.
[556.02 --> 556.40] And.
[556.40 --> 556.42] And.
[556.42 --> 558.08] When we read in Philippians 4.
[558.68 --> 559.58] Where Paul says.
[560.12 --> 561.60] Don't be anxious about anything.
[561.74 --> 562.86] But in every situation.
[563.06 --> 563.84] Every situation.
[564.30 --> 565.76] By prayer and petition.
[566.14 --> 567.08] With thanksgiving.
[567.20 --> 568.22] Present your request to God.
[568.28 --> 568.42] Okay.
[568.46 --> 569.42] So stuff's happening.
[569.68 --> 570.34] Pour it out to God.
[570.54 --> 571.38] And what happens.
[571.64 --> 573.04] And the peace of God.
[574.04 --> 575.84] Which transcends all understanding.
[575.92 --> 577.30] So bigger than your brain.
[577.68 --> 579.76] Will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
[580.16 --> 580.60] Peace.
[580.60 --> 582.90] That is beyond human comprehension.
[583.34 --> 584.42] Bigger than you are.
[584.68 --> 585.62] Somehow happens.
[585.78 --> 587.84] When we surrender ourselves to Christ.
[592.44 --> 593.00] Somehow.
[593.62 --> 595.10] If I really want peace.
[595.14 --> 596.04] And I understand it.
[596.04 --> 596.96] And I know it's.
[597.38 --> 599.08] That Jesus is peace.
[599.24 --> 600.70] I have to humble myself.
[601.04 --> 601.60] And realize.
[601.76 --> 603.98] I'm messing up that definition quite regularly.
[604.28 --> 605.90] I'm just looking for a peace.
[605.98 --> 608.06] That makes my life easier.
[608.06 --> 612.88] If only my wife would just listen to me.
[614.30 --> 614.78] Right.
[614.90 --> 615.04] You know.
[615.04 --> 616.28] I just want simplicity.
[616.76 --> 618.08] I want things my way.
[618.34 --> 619.82] I'm in the way of peace somehow.
[621.58 --> 622.76] And it starts.
[623.10 --> 624.42] With surrender.
[624.88 --> 626.10] To the prince of peace.
[626.32 --> 627.34] Whose birth we celebrate.
[630.84 --> 631.28] So.
[631.98 --> 633.26] Let's look at Isaiah 9.
[633.36 --> 634.04] Where we get this.
[634.50 --> 634.94] Phrase.
[635.52 --> 636.40] Prince of peace.
[636.40 --> 638.72] Notice how it starts.
[639.86 --> 641.56] The people walking in great dark.
[641.70 --> 642.26] In darkness.
[642.44 --> 643.44] Have seen a great light.
[643.94 --> 644.16] All right.
[644.22 --> 644.78] So here we go.
[645.32 --> 646.48] They're walking in darkness.
[646.62 --> 647.18] And brokenness.
[647.24 --> 647.54] And sin.
[648.38 --> 650.36] And on those living in the land of deep darkness.
[650.52 --> 651.70] A light has dawned.
[652.40 --> 654.68] You have enlarged the nations of God.
