INTRODUCTION
Peace is something everyone wants, yet it often feels just out of reach. As we step into this discussion, let’s explore why that is—and what Jesus says truly brings lasting peace.
UNDERSTANDING
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ LUKE 19:28–44.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ PHILIPPIANS 4:6–7.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ JOHN 14:27.
The people in Jesus’ day missed what would truly bring them peace because they were focused on their expectations. These passages show us that real peace is found in surrender, trust, and a life centered on Jesus.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Spend time thanking Jesus for being the true source of peace. Ask God to reveal anything that is competing for your worship and surrender it to Him. Pray for strength to walk in both affection and obedience this week, and for His peace to guard your hearts and minds in every situation.
