God's Promise of Personal Peace

The peace that comes from God is a personal peace that you have in your heart and soul, regardless of your circumstances. In this message, Pastor Tom Holladay will give you five ways to enjoy God’s promise of peace in your life.

August 18, 2019 | Tom Holladay
More from this series

He gave us the very great and precious promises. With these gifts you can share in being like God, and the world will not ruin you with its
evil desires. 
2 Peter 1:4 (NCV)

"The mountains may disappear, and the hills may come to an end, but my love will never disappear; my promise of peace will not come to an end," says
the LORD.
Isaiah 54:10 (NCV)

How to enjoy God's promise of peace:

  1. MAKE PEACE WITH GOD

    Now that we have been put right with God through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Romans 5:1 (GNT)
    God made peace through the blood of Christ's death on the cross. Colossians 1:20 (NCV)

  2. GET REST FOR YOUR BODY

    And I gave them my Sabbath days of rest as a sign between them and me. It was to remind them that I am the LORD, who had set them apart to be holy.                             Ezekiel 20:12 (NLT)

    It is senseless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, fearing you will starve to death; for God wants his loved ones to get their
    proper rest.     
    Psalm 127:2 (TLB)

    A heart at peace gives life to the body.    Proverbs 14:30a (NIV)

ACTION PLAN:  If you've never set a Sabbath day for yourself, do so this week. Block off your calendar for that whole day and do something that you enjoy. If you have been enjoying a Sabbath, try to have a screen-less day this week by setting aside your phone, computer, and tv.

  1. RECEIVE PEACE AS A GIFT

    "I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn't fragile like the peace the world gives. So don't be troubled or afraid."         John 14:27 (TLB)

    Jesus stood up and commanded the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind stopped, and it became completely calm.    Mark 4:39 (NCV)
  1. TELL GOD WHAT YOU NEED

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 (ESV)

  • The principle of anything – DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING
  • The principle of everything – PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. 2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)

ACTION PLAN: What is making you anxious or worried?  Whether they be relational, financial, career, grief, etc., ask God to calm each storm individually. Ask God for peace.

  1. FOCUS YOUR THOUGHTS ON JESUS

    You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.  Isaiah 26:3 (ESV)

    Let the peace that Christ gives control your thinking . . . Colossians 3:15a (NCV)

    "I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
    John 16:33 (NIV)

ACTION PLAN: Memorize Philippians 4:8
