PEACE OF MIND AND HEART

Peace on Earth - Part 3 of 4 | December 17, 2023

Gabe Kolstad | @gabekolstad 

 

I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. 

And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. 

So don’t be troubled or afraid.    

-John‬ ‭14‬:‭27‬

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭14

8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.” 13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”    


Experiencing Real Peace…

  1. THANK Him for the PAST

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.    -Philippians 4:6

2. TRUST Him with the FUTURE

Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.     -Philippians 4:7


3. JOIN Him in the PRESENT

8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.    ‭‭-Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8-9

Don’t let your hearts be troubled. 

Trust in God, and trust also in me.    

-John‬ ‭14‬:‭1‬
