Jesus prepares us for peace, grows us in peace through His Holy Spirit, and makes us to be peacemakers in a dark and troubling world. By His Word and Spirit, we can prepare ourselves for His peace, we can practice His peace, and we have His Spirit and His capacity to pass His peace to one another.

As we mature, we recognize what’s most valuable (our relationship with Him), we set aside time and resources to “invest in Him,” and then we actually enjoy Him—savoring every aspect of our relationship with Him above all other things! We finish our series on Engaging with God for Change by looking at how we can engage with Him for maturity.
