Summary

As we continue our week on transcendent peace, we’ll look today at where peace comes from. Peace isn’t something we can muster up in and of ourselves. Peace is a fruit of the Spirit of God. And thankfully, we have God’s Spirit living inside of us. May we learn today how to tap into the peace of God that’s so ever-readily available to us as Christians.

Our Scripture for today comes from Galatians 5:22-23, and today's worship is I am Loved by Mack Brock.

1:19.4	How incredible is it that we can have peace in this world through relationship with the Holy Spirit.
1:25.6	The fact that true peace is solely a fruit of the Spirit takes the weight of peace off of
