When we talk about peace we often think of peace as a lack of conflict. Peace is when everything in my world is working just as it should. There is no conflict, no pain, no hardship, no struggling, there is nothing bad going on in my world at all. While this may be a type of peace, it is not the kind of peace that the Bible promises us we can have. Instead of there being peace because nothing is wrong in my world. There is peace in spite of the fact things are wrong in my world. So how do we do this? How can we have peace when everything around us conspires to steal this peace? That's what this message is about.
