The Peaceful Prince | Charlie Grimes

Description:It is easy to sing about the "Prince of Peace" by candlelight on Christmas Eve. It is much harder to follow Him when the candles go out and the conflict begins.

In this message, Pastor Charlie Grimes takes us from the manger in Bethlehem to the courtroom of Pontius Pilate. We discover that Jesus didn't just come to bring a sentimental feeling; He came to establish a Kingdom that operates on an entirely different power source.

We are faced with a choice: Will we choose the way of Barabbas (force, coercion, and "winning"), or will we choose the way of the Prince of Peace?

Key Takeaways:

• Why you cannot build a Kingdom from above using methods from below.

• The difference between the "Christmas Card" Jesus and the Real Jesus.

• How to fight for the Truth without using the world's weapons.
