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

Why Jesus’ first words after the resurrection are “Peace be with you”

The difference between the world’s peace and Jesus’ peace (John 14:27)

Receive: freedom from shame, regret, and self-reliance through the Spirit

Give: practicing peacemaking in families, church, and our public witness

Growing in peace: participation with the Spirit, not passive spectatorship

📖 Scripture
