In Week 3 of Cultivate, Pastor Tim Ghali unpacks the Peace of the Holy Spirit: what it is, what it isn’t, and how followers of Jesus both receive and give Christ’s peace in a noisy, polarized world. This message invites us to move beyond “peace and quiet” toward Spirit-formed shalom that frees our hearts, heals relationships, and witnesses to God’s Kingdom.
📌 Message Highlights
