Peace
Session 5: Peace
2 Timothy 2:22
flee evil desires of youth
there is something about being young that makes us susceptible to peacelessness
you are young and if you aren’t young you have a propensity to fall back into immature ways
something about being young makes us want to pursue the opposite of peace
How often do we slow down? why should you slow down? hear, reflect, refresh
solid foundation begins with:
1 Peace with God
- internal rest from Chaos when we trust Him
- external - find other places of peace that have been provided
John 14:27
Peace in the middle of trouble and fear
2 Contentment in Circumstances
not wishing - using the phrase “I wish” is an indicator that we aren’t at peace
Philippians 4:12-13
not how bad, not how good
financial stress, life decisions, geopolitics, scary unknown situations
- peace doesn’t take away the trouble but provides a help to make it through
3 Peace in Relationships
any relationship that lasts needs forgiveness
takes humility and intentionality
Proverbs 17:9
“love covers over an offense”
we need to see our place and
whatever it costs me -
2 Tim 2:19
who are you not at peace with?
how do we get peace?
habits of prayer
healthy relationships
