Summary

This week in our series, Wrapped, JP unpacks the message of Luke 1, reminding us where true peace is found. Peace comes when we trust in God’s promises, rely on His unlimited power, and align our lives with His purpose. As we embrace these truths, we can navigate life’s uncertainties with confidence and discover the lasting peace that only He can provide.

Our peace is wrapped in God’s promises

Our peace is wrapped in God’s power

Our peace is wrapped in God’s purpose

Life Group Discussion:

Have you ever struggled to believe in God’s promises? How did you overcome that doubt, or how are you working through it now?

Can you share a time when you saw God’s power at work in your life or someone else’s? How did that experience influence your faith?

How does knowing that God has a purpose for your life bring you peace during times of confusion or doubt?

0:14.0	it does change week to week. We're back in our series called Rapped. And earlier this month, I got a text from some friends.
0:24.6	I have some friends who I've served with in ministry for a really, you know, for a long time
0:30.7	and knew them when they were single and we served together in ministry. And then they went
0:36.6	on a mission trip together and met,
0:39.1	and then they got married, and then they were serving where they would like pray do burden
0:44.6	bearing at church, and a young lady came up, and she was pregnant and had decided that she
0:51.7	didn't want to keep the baby, and together, they said, hey, we would,
0:55.1	we would love to parent your child. And so early in their marriage, adopted their child,

2:10.3	their son and he's you know early in years I don't know old, they say, hey, before you're eight, we decided we're going to adopt. We're going to add to our family through adoption.

Like, you just kind of, there's a bunch of babies out there and you say, I would
2:37.6	like to grow our family and have a baby. That's not really how it works. There's another process there
