Show Notes:
○ Galatians 5:22-23
○ "Peace" in the New Testament:
§ Peace as the absence of war or chaos
§ Peace as a right relationship with God
§ Peace as a good relationship among people
§ Peace as an individual virtue or state, that is tranquility or serenity
§ Peace as part of a greeting
○ Peace as an individual virtue or state, that is tranquility or serenity
§ Under this type of "Peace" I want to highlight two types of situations
□ Situations out of your control
® These are the storms that come into your life unprovoked that you don't see coming or can't do anything to stop
® Read Matthew 8:23-27
◊ To experience peace in these types of situations, you have to take a step back and remember who God is and what He has promised you!
® Read Psalms 23
® Read 1 Peter 5:7-"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you."
® Read John 14:27-""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."
® Read Isaiah 26:3-"You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!"
□ When you find yourself in a situation that you didn’t see coming that tries to rob you of your peace, remember what Jesus said he would give us-peace! You have to choose to have faith and trust that God will fulfill his promises to you!

□ Situations within your control
® These are the storms that you knowingly walk into
® Read Acts 27:9-44 (this is a long one)
® These storms are avoided using wisdom and discernment
◊ Read Proverbs 25:24-"Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife."
◊ Read Proverbs 27:12-"The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty."
◊ Read Proverbs 28:26-"Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe."
® Sometimes you may have to choose between doing what you want to do and having peace

○ A few other verses about peace to remember:
§ Read 2 Thessalonians 3:16
□ "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all."
§ Read Colossians 3:15
□ "And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful."
§ Read Romans 8:6
□ "So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace."
§ Read Proverbs 16:7
□ "When people's lives please the Lord, even their enemies are at peace with them."
§ Read 1 Peter 3:11
□ "Turn away from evil and do good. Search for peace, and work to maintain it."
§ Read Philippians 4:6-7
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
