In this opening message of our Christmas series, From God, With Love, Pastor Jeff begins by unwrapping the first and perhaps most misunderstood gift: peace.

Drawing from Luke’s account of Christ’s birth, Isaiah’s prophecy of the Prince of Peace, and the rich Hebrew meaning of shalom, we discover that God’s peace is not an idea, a feeling, or a temporary calm—it is a Person. Unlike the fragile peace offered by the world, God’s peace restores what is broken, reconciles what is divided, and points us toward a secure and glorious future in Him.

Instead of a threat meant to terrify believers, Hebrews 6 is a loving warning, calling God’s people to move beyond spiritual infancy, reject the “dead works” of empty religion, and embrace the “better things” that accompany genuine salvation. Drawing from the rich context of Hebrews and the writer’s concern for his struggling congregation, Dr. Webb explains the difference between true faith and superficial association, clarifies what apostasy really means, and shows why verse 9 is the turning point that brings clarity, hope, and assurance. This message invites you to examine your walk with Christ—not in fear, but with confidence that God is growing better things in the lives of His true children.
