Thank you. The Bible promises believers peace, and yet life often feels frustrating and chaotic.

How can we experience the peace God has promised?

Today on Truth for Life, Alistair Begg gives biblical answers to key questions about peace as we continue our study in Galatians 5.

unlike the gifts of the Spirit, which are given variously. And the obvious implication in studying this,

produced by commandment, nor is it produced by law, but it is produced by life. With that said,
