From the series, "Troubled & Afraid" with Mark Wall. Part 2: Peace and Quiet?

Sometimes it feels like experiencing peace in our lives isn’t possible. Whether it’s a broken relationship, busy schedules, or personal struggle, peace can be that part of our lives that we grasp for but never catch. Jesus tells us that He has left us His peace. What does it look like when we truly have peace? How do we experience His peace even in our daily lives?

From the series, "Troubled & Afraid" with Mark Wall. There are so many things in our lives that are beyond our control. Outside circumstances can seem to rule our lives, and often in negative ways. Jesus says to not be troubled and afraid. But how do we respond to all the things happening around us and not live in worry and fear? How do we experience the peace that Jesus offers?

Part 1: Fearless. It seems like every other day there is another life-altering event that brings uncertainty. Another reason to be afraid of the future and worried about today. But Jesus offers us a path away from fear, a meaningful life that is rooted in Him.

From the series, "For the Good of the City" with Dave Stimers. Part 3: For The One.

There are a lot of reasons why that’s difficult, but there’s one truth that makes it a joy!

Part 1: For Good. We may not be able to know exactly what the future holds, but we know it will be good!

From the series, "A City Connected" with guest speaker, Will MacLaughlin from CAP (Christians Against Poverty). Jesus’ invitation to the weary and burdened is one we all need to hear. In a cultural moment when so many of us are feeling stressed and worried about finances, rent prices, interest rates, groceries, and gas - how can we lean in and find the peace and rest Jesus promises?
