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 Peace Be Still by The Belonging Co. feat Lauren Daigle.

If you’ve wrestled with making Bible study a consistent habit of spiritual formation, A Light Unto My Path will inspire and encourage you to drink more deeply from the unending well that is the Bible.

A Light Unto My Path will answer these 7 critical questions:

Why do we read the Bible?
How was the Bible created?
Why do we need to interpret the Bible?
What is the Bible about?
What are the best tools for studying the Bible?
What can I learn from others?
How can I learn for myself?

I love that the goal of this book is not to learn more about the Bible (even though you will), but to better understand the Bible as one of the primary ways God seeks to have a relationship with us today.

0:00.0	As we continue our week on peace, we'll look today at where peace comes from.
0:10.0	Peace isn't something we can muster up in and of ourselves, but peace is a fruit of the

0:49.5	Paul writes,
0:51.1	But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
1:00.4	gentleness, self-control. Against such things, there is no law.
1:09.0	Living with true peace can only be done by allowing the Holy Spirit to bear the fruit of His presence in our lives.
1:16.6	How incredible is it that we can have peace in this world through relationship with the Holy Spirit?
1:23.6	The fact that true peace is solely a fruit of the spirit takes the weight of peace off of our shoulders.
1:31.4	It's impossible to bear the fruit of peace apart from connectivity to God.
1:37.3	It's impossible to force peace in our lives because it's impossible for us to bear fruit
1:42.8	in our own strength.
1:45.1	John 154 says,
1:47.0	Abide in me and I in you.
1:49.8	As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine,
1:55.1	neither can you unless you abide in me.
1:59.6	Peace is the fruit of abiding in the Holy Spirit. It's the fruit of surrendering
2:05.3	our perspectives, relationships, words, actions, thoughts, and emotions to him. If we are living without peace, it's because we have yet to allow the Holy Spirit to fill an area of our life with His presence.
2:24.9	If our thoughts aren't marked by the peace of God's truth, it's because we have yet to allow the Spirit to renew our minds with the scripture he authored.
