Summary
What would it look like to have peace in all circumstances? I honestly can’t imagine anything better. We see promises in Scripture of this peace at all times, but so few of us experience that. Why is that the case? Today we’ll explore why that might be and how to walk in transcendent peace untouched by the circumstances of this world.
Our Scripture for today comes from 2 Thessalonians 3:16, and today's worship is Peace Be Still by The Belonging Co. featuring Lauren Daigle.
