Sermon Summary:
The sermon from February 28, 2026, discusses the theme of losing peace and emphasizes that maintaining inner peace is ultimately in our control. It asserts that no one can take away your peace unless you allow it. The sermon identifies seven categories of thoughts that can steal this peace, including sinful thoughts, negative self-perceptions, erroneous beliefs about God's love, unrealistic expectations, rebellious attitudes, obsessive fixations, and enslaved habits. Each of these can create turmoil and disrupt emotional and spiritual well-being. To regain and maintain peace, the sermon suggests accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and submitting to God's will. It encourages listeners to reflect on which of these categories affects them most and to start each day by focusing their thoughts on Jesus, inviting His peace into their lives.

Sermon Summary:
The pastor shares a story about a woman who attended a depression recovery seminar at an Adventist church. Despite having no Christian background, she was drawn to the church’s loving atmosphere and decided to become a Seventh-day Adventist. The pastor emphasizes the importance of using spiritual gifts with love, citing Ephesians 4:15-16 and 1 Corinthians 12:26, which highlight the interconnectedness of the church body and the need for love in spiritual growth.

1 Corinthians 13, the “love chapter,” is often used in weddings and marriage counseling but is actually placed in the middle of a discussion about spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. Paul emphasizes that without love, even the most impressive spiritual gifts are meaningless. Love is the transformative force that changes lives and is essential for the proper use of spiritual gifts.

The transformative power of love is emphasized through personal anecdotes and biblical teachings. The speaker reflects on their own experiences with love, acknowledging their shortcomings and the need for divine guidance. The importance of love is underscored by biblical passages, highlighting its role in demonstrating faith and transforming lives.
