In today's study we continue our conversation on Times and Seasons. Very practically we see how we can recognise the current seasons of our lives. 

In school, we learnt that our goals have to be SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-bound. This is a very helpful approach especially when handling projects and managing people. However, when it comes to life as a whole, there’s one factor that isn’t much within our control - Time (and the seasons that come with it). God actually does own time, and so he sets the seasons that present themselves in time. Understanding this has saved me from anxiety over the calendar of my life. 

After studying on Peace in the past few weeks, today we get to pray it into our lives and experiences. 

When the Bible says "Guard your heart with all diligence...", one thing I constantly want to guard is my peace!

Identifying those triggers that steal our peace is the first step, but how to deal with them is one major thing that needs to be studied and put to practice in our daily living.

The Bible says the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy. Once your peace is stolen it’s easier for the devil to attack and infiltrate your thoughts.

The "peace“ subject is one that we constantly need to study and learn practical ways to maintain. In today's Bible study we explore various way the enemy tries to steal our joy, and how we can avoid them. 

Last week, we started a very practical study on How to experience and maintain the Peace of God. Several people shared how they respond to fear, anxiety and worry. Some of the responses include prayers, fellowshipping with other believers, taking time and effort off the particular  matter, and more. From our Bible study outline, we highlighted four helpful ways to experience the peace of God. However, we could only look at two of those: Prayer, and Fixing your gaze on Jesus.

Daily we hear about disturbing events globally, and we even go through tough seasons ourselves. However, in the midst of all these God has given us His Peace.

Have you ever experienced anxiety, worry or unease and couldnt really tell why? There's so much in the world already fighting your peace, but God has a promise & a plan for us. This new study gives us an understanding of the Peace of God and how we can experience it ALWAYS. 

Having learned in the previous weeks what causes our light to shine, we spent time praying into our experience these things: Consecration, Conviction and Character. 

In today’s Bible study we conclude what we started on three things that cause us to shine as lights in this World. We see how that out consecration will be tested by pleasure, our conviction would be tested by character and, our character would be tested by pride. Dive in for more

God has called us to shine as light in this world. But what gives illumination to our shining? What makes us shine?

In this Bible Study, we draw lessons from the book of Daniel as we begin to explore 3 important qualities that distinguish us as light in this dark world.
