Jeff Maness – December 20, 2020 When we hear the word “peace” we so often think of the world around us or what happens to us: Physical peace, financial peace, relational peace, political peace. And while Jesus is the way to lasting peace, it’s not the kind of peace we imagine. The peace Jesus gives...
Jeff Maness – Grieving might be inevitable, but the way we grieve is intentional. Every person will go through seasons of grief. No one is immune. But as Christians there is a way for us to grieve in a godly way, a way that honors God and helps us.
Jeff Maness – The temptation to worry is always there, but the tools to fight it are as well. The danger is; worry is the worship of our potential problems instead of trusting the One who promises peace. So, how do we find peace in our worries?
Jeff Maness- The Bible doesn’t hide the fact that storms are coming in life, in fact, Jesus even promised that this life holds “many trials and sorrows.” The great news is, even though life is full of storms, Jesus is our Hope because He’s our foundation in the storm.
Jeff Maness- Believing in Jesus won’t remove loss from our life, but it does remind us of what we have in the midst of it. Everyone goes through seasons of loss. What do we have in the midst of it?
Jeff Maness- The peace Jesus gives is not found in my circumstances, it’s found in my soul. We often look for peace on the outside, but the gift of peace that Jesus came to give is found on the inside. As Prince of Peace, Jesus came to give us peace.
Jeff Maness – Did you know, Jesus already prayed for us? On the night that Jesus was arrested and led to the cross, He took time out of His own pain to pray for us when we go through it. In our presence and in our pain, Jesus is present and He already prayed.
