Sermons about Peace

Overcoming Worry in an Anxious World

Date: January 18, 2026 | Speaker:

We live in the wealthiest, most abundant nation that has ever existed, yet we are the most anxious generation in recorded history. Anxiety is at an all-time high. The solution isn’t striving harder not to worry; it’s remembering these three foundational truths: we have a Father in heaven, this Father genuinely cares for us, and He has promised to provide what we need. When we live consumed by worry, we’re not just stressed—we’re actually telling our heavenly Father that we don’t believe He will take care of us. Trust is not the absence of problems, but a deep-seated confidence in the unfailing character and goodness of God. As we seek His kingdom first, anxiety loosens its grip, not because life gets easier, but because we trust the One who holds tomorrow.

Children of Light: Peace vs. Trouble

Date: January 4, 2026 | Speaker:

From the very beginning of creation, God desired to bring forth life out of darkness, so He said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. This separation is representative of two opposing kingdoms; one to which His children belong, and one to which His enemies belong. Scripture tells us that God is light, and there is no darkness in Him, and those who belong to Him are children of light. Join us as we look at some of the attributes of each kingdom, and the separating choices each person will face as a reflection of the kingdom to which they choose to belong.

Redefining the Good Life

Date: November 16, 2025 | Speaker:

Every day we are offered endless definitions of happiness, each promising fulfillment if we would only chase harder, possess more, and climb higher. But Jesus invites us into His radical kingdom where true happiness emerges in the most unexpected ways. He turns the world’s ideas on their head, revealing that blessing belongs to those who pursue mercy and peace, devote their hearts to God, and endure persecution. These are the family traits of those who have been transformed by God’s grace, who have chosen to live in His upside-down kingdom. Which kingdom are you living in?

Unwavering Faith in Troubled Times

Date: July 21, 2024 | Speaker:

It’s easy to stand in a worship service surrounded by other Christians and sing, “Lord, I trust in you alone,” but is that really true of us in life’s hardest moments? When unexpected and unwanted circumstances come our way, are we immediately flooded with fear, or have we learned to rest in God’s sovereignty, fully assured that He is in control of it all? God’s Word can transform our perspective and deepen our trust in Him, giving us a firm foundation on which to stand even as the world around us seems to be falling apart.

Where is the Peace the Angel Promised?

Date: December 24, 2023 | Speaker:

Whatever happened to the “peace on earth” that the ‌angels promised at the birth of Jesus? Instead of tranquility, the world remains plagued by wars, famines, disasters, and diseases. Our sins not only bear responsibility for these issues but also for separating us from God. Consequently, humanity’s greatest need is not global harmony but reconciliation with God, and that is precisely what Jesus came to provide. Genuine peace cannot be attained through earthly pursuits, but you can experience peace with God right now by placing your trust in Christ for salvation. Do you possess the true, lasting peace that only the Prince of Peace can give?

Unwavering Joy in Uncertain Times

Date: August 20, 2023 | Speaker:

It is all too easy to derive our joy and contentment from our circumstances, our possessions, or our relationships, but that path eventually leads to disappointment. True contentment and unwavering confidence can never be found in the ever-changing situations of life, but rather by placing our trust in God alone. When we ground our faith in His character and faithful care, our peace and joy remain unshaken, even in the midst of adversity, pain, or loss. Are you still looking to the fleeting things of this world for security, or have you put your trust fully in God’s promises?

Beware of False Prophets

Date: July 9, 2023 | Speaker:

Every day you are surrounded by countless voices on every side, all trying to grab your attention, win your allegiance, and even get your money. The same is true in religious circles. Preachers and evangelists are everywhere telling you this and telling you that, but how do you navigate through all the noise and know what is true and what is false? This problem is not new, and the Bible gives us clearly defined ways to test all those voices and separate the good from the bad. Do you know how to tell the difference, or are you vulnerable to the deceptions that lead so many people astray? Don’t be fooled by smooth talk and grand promises! Make sure you are firmly grounded in God’s Word.

How to Stand When the Enemy Attacks

Date: March 5, 2023 | Speaker:

Did you ever obey God and do the right thing, ‌but the results didn’t turn out like you thought they would, ‌so you started to wonder if ‌doing the right thing was really the right thing to do? It is a mistake to think that if you faithfully live for God, your life will be trouble free as a result. The truth is, when we do choose to live for Him, the forces of hell will be unleashed against us. So what do you do when those attacks come? How do you stand strong when your life seems to be crumbling around you? Today’s message will help you know exactly how to face the enemy, and it will encourage you to press on in this battle we all fight every day.

The Danger of Holding Grudges

Date: August 21, 2022 | Speaker:

Everyone has stories of a relative who got offended about something at Thanksgiving dinner 40 years ago, and they still won’t speak to the family today! Holding grudges is like cancer. It spreads and kills if left untreated; but worst of all, it withholds the forgiveness from others that God has already shown to you. If someone has hurt you and you’re finding it hard to forgive them, come and hear what God’s Word says about it. You’ll gain the insight and encouragement you need to free the other person from the clutches of resentment, and you will free yourself at the same time!

It Shall Be Well

Date: September 19, 2021 | Speaker:

History is filled with the accounts of men and women whose lives were overwhelmed with suffering, pain and loss, yet because of their faith in Christ, they could still say with confidence that all will be well. How is it possible for someone to go through such devastating trials and still know that God is good? Trouble and heartache will visit us all in this life. Do you know how to stand firm when the storms begin to blow?

Getting Everything but Having Nothing

Date: June 6, 2021 | Speaker:

If you could pray one prayer and instantly have everything you’ve ever wanted, would you do it? Most of us think we would be happier if we just had a little more, but is that really true? King Solomon had more money, possessions and fame than anyone in the world, but he hated life and was overcome with emptiness and frustration. If your search for meaning and happiness has led you to a dead end, this message will show you the only path to true joy and fulfillment.

The Priority and Power of Worship

Date: May 16, 2021 | Speaker:

There is an amazing secret in the Book of Psalms that has the ability to transform our entire perspective on the troubles and trials we all go through. Regardless of what you’re facing right now, this simple step will lift your eyes and heart to God and remind you that He is still in complete control over all the circumstances in your life. Will you trust Him with your struggles today?
