The Peace of God

Passage: Philippians 4:4-9

Randy Martin

The Scriptures offer us profound encouragement to experience peace even amidst the storms of life—seasons that often stir anxiety in our hearts. Jesus assured His disciples, “In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.” Yet, despite this promise, achieving that peace can feel out of reach. A few weeks ago, Pastor Warren unpacked Jesus’ teaching to His disciples in Matthew 6:25-35. He reminded us that anxiety is unnecessary because God cares for us deeply and will provide for all our needs. Anxiety is also unproductive, for it cannot change what is beyond our control—only God can. Moreover, anxiety is unworthy of us, as it reflects a lack of trust in our Great God. Instead, we are called to seek Christ and His Kingdom, with confidence that He will sustain us. This powerful message from Jesus finds a complementary truth in Paul’s letter to the Philippians. Like Jesus, Paul urges us not to be anxious, but he goes further, showing us how we can more fully embrace the peace of God. This Sunday, we will explore Philippians 4:4-9 and discover how God’s Word provides a roadmap to experiencing His perfect peace. Join us this Sunday as we delve into this life-changing teaching and draw closer to the peace only God can give.
