THE PATH TO PEACE
Pastor Michael Dascoli
March 15, 2020
Please turn to 1Samuel 12
Things That Can Rob Peace
1: When circumstances seem uncontrollable
2: When people seem unchangeable
3: When problems seem unexplainable
Jehovah Shalom: “I am the Lord of Peace”
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world
gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” John 14:27
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world
you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
The Path to Peace: 3 decisions God will use to feed your peace
1: Accept What Can’t Be Changed (2Samuel 12)
12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11b-13
App: What or who are you trying to change that you need to accept?
2: Trust in God’s Love and Care
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on Thee:
Because he trusteth in Thee. Isaiah 26:3
Why life can seem a steady stream of problems?
1: Adam choked
2: We have an enemy
3: We choke
“Neither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so
that the works of God might be displayed in him.” John 9:3
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
App: What might trusting God more look like for you?
3: Surrender, God’s in Control
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind
governed by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6
App: Practice putting it all on the altar
“Since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with
God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.” Romans 8:1 NLT
What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today?
How must you respond?
