Peace

Pastor Matt Lundy

In this Christmas season, I want to challenge you to focus on true Peace. Jesus stepped from heaven to earth to walk amongst us, and Philippians 4:7 tells us he offers “the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” True Peace is found when our focus is on Jesus. When our focus is on Him, our situations, our finances, and our outcomes don’t have to affect our Peace, because our Peace is reliant on the thing that does not change, falter, or fail: Jesus. 


Reflection Guide

Q1: When have you experienced the peace of God?

Q2: When have you struggled to experience the peace of God?

Q3: How can we help ourselves, our families, and our congregation understand that true peace is not the absence of conflict, but a deep inner tranquility found in Christ?

Challenge: Pray to God and ask Him to help you recognize what needs to change for you to accept His gift of peace this Christmas season.
