Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom – “Find Peace and Joy in God’s Presence” – Verdugo Community Church November 12, 2023

In her sermon, “Find Peace and Joy in God’s Presence,” Pastor Gail acknowledges that these holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas can be painful for those who are mourning losses, and we need to remember that God will be with us in these dark times as well as in times of rejoicing. Looking at the promise of Jesus’s coming expressed in Isaiah 9, Luke 1, John 1, and Colossians 1, we see that God so loved us that he sent his own son to live amongst us and show us how we should live and love others. God wants good or us. It is clear that no matter what present condition we find ourselves in, our peace and joy come celebrating the Lord’s presence in our lives.
