Sunday Morning Service – March 8, 2026Text: 1 Samuel 30; Job 2Title: How to Get PeaceJoin us this Sunday morning as Pastor Dr. Ernest Groce brings a message from 1 Samuel 30 and Job 2 on the subject of finding true peace in the midst of life’s trials. In both passages, we see faithful men of God facing overwhelming circumstances—David returning to find Ziklag burned and his family taken captive, and Job enduring devastating loss and painful suffering.In 1 Samuel 30, David finds himself surrounded by distress and discouragement, even to the point that his own men speak of stoning him. Yet in the middle of the crisis, the Bible tells us that “David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.” Instead of giving in to fear or despair, David turned his heart toward the Lord and found strength.In Job 2, we see Job sitting in ashes, covered with painful boils, while enduring the weight of unimaginable suffering. Yet even in the depths of his affliction, Job refuses to curse God. His life demonstrates a steadfast faith that does not depend on circumstances but rests in the character of God.Together, these passages show us that peace is not found in the absence of trouble but in the presence of God. When life feels overwhelming and the future uncertain, the Lord invites His people to bring their burdens to Him and trust in His faithfulness.This message will explore:Where true peace comes from in times of distressHow David strengthened himself in the LordWhat Job teaches us about faith in sufferingHow believers today can experience God’s peace in the midst of trialsCome join us as we open God’s Word and discover how the Lord gives peace that steadies the heart even in the most difficult seasons of life.
