Today, Brad talks about how joy is not a feeling. Joy comes from the Lord.

When Scripture encourages us to rejoice "always", we begin to wonder how is that even possible?  The key is that we rejoice "in the Lord".  God is always with us, always for us and always helping us. Because He is always present in those ways to each of us, we can find joy even in the most difficult times. We are never left to suffer alone. God is always working behind the scenes, even if we don't see it all the time. This assurance is a joy that the pressures of this life can't steal away from us.

Today, Gregg talks about how to find our peace in Jesus. 

It's relatively easy to have peace when our circumstances and relationships are peaceful. But what happens when we are experiencing conflict in those areas? Is there a peace that we can embrace and rely on  during times of conflict? As we study John 14-16, we will see three key ways that Jesus encourages us to increase our peace in Him. Together we will see how He extends peace to each of us especially when times are difficult.

Today, Becca kicks off the Advent week of peace and gives us insight on what the Bible says about peace and how to experience it.
