Grace Chapel
Welcome to Grace Chapel! Peace is not just a longing of the 70’s. It is a daily desire for all of us. We strive to overcome our busyness or relational strife so that we can have peace. Jesus offered us peace that is founded in His nature. He is peace and has overcome the world (John 16:33). In this message, we identify specific ways the peace of Christ can cure our anxiety.
Anxiety fails to acknowledge that the Father cares for me and is in complete CONTROL.
Jeremiah 17:7-8 ESV
Only God POSSESSES perfect peace. (vs. 25-28).
John 16:25-28 ESV
Knowledge of God without application will lead to PRIDE, not peace.
When the nature and character of the Father is revealed, peace prevails.
Ephesians 2:14 ESV
Only God can GIVE perfect peace. (vs. 29-30).
John 16:29-30 ESV
To experience the peace of God, we must have genuine humility and utter DESPERATION.
Only God has OVERCOME the world. (vs. 31-33).
John 16:31-33 ESV
