Скачать или смотреть Advent: Peace | Church Online | Mike Foster

True peace comes not from external solutions, but from trusting God's presence and partnership in our lives. Mike Foster shares that when we feel like our lives are being shaken up, Jesus offers us "shalom"—a deep, permeating peace. He is always working on our behalf.

Sermon Notes:
The problems around you are no match for the God within you.

📖 “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
John 14:27

“Shalom”
Wholeness. A deep sense of calm that permeates all of life.

Who is shaking your snow globe?

Stress, anxiety and worry are an invitation to give God the things you cannot handle.

3 myths we believe about peace:
1. It is found “out there.”
2. It is determined by circumstances.
3. It magically happens.

📖 But Moses protested to God, “Who am I to appear before Pharaoh? Who am I to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt?” God answered, “I will be with you.”
Exodus 3:11-12 (NLT)

We experience heavenly peace when we move from “me-focused” to “we-focused.”

Heavenly peace is found in a heavenly partnership with God where God does the heavy lifting.

📖 But Moses protested again, “What if “they” won’t believe me or listen to me? What if “they” say, ‘The Lord never appeared to you’?” Then the Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?” “A shepherd’s staff,” Moses replied. “Throw it down on the ground.” (Turns to a snake)
Exodus 4:1-3 (NLT)

People pleasing will destroy your heavenly peace.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson

📖 But Moses again pleaded, “Lord, please! Send anyone else.” Then the Lord became angry with Moses. “All right,” he said. “What about your brother, Aaron the Levite? I know he speaks well. And look! He is on his way to meet you now. He will be delighted to see you.”
Exodus 4:13-14 (NLT)

God is already working on the thing that has you worried.
