The Bondage of Peace by Wayne Coleman
Peace in any language is positively acceptable. It is the opposite of war. It seems that during most of my life our country has either been at war, be it active or cold, or under the threat of it. World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War with communism, and other regional skirmishes have been during my lifetime. World peace has been an honorable… ( read more )

Peace With God by Jesse M. Hendley
Our subject is "Peace with God." I do not believe that there are many people who have peace with God. I think there are many people who want peace with God and are willing to come God's way, which is absolutely necessary, if they know what it is. Our subject is "Peace with God." I do not believe that there are many people who have peace with God. I… ( read more )

Peace for the Journey by Ernest L. Easley
We are inspecting fruit on these Sunday nights. And not just any fruit .. but our fruit! And of course .. the fruit I'm talking about is what the Apostle Paul calls, "the fruit of the Spirit." Now "the fruit of the Spirit" is not like "the gifts of the Spirit." God gives different gifts to different saints and no saint has all 19 spiritual gifts. To some He gives the gift of teaching… ( read more )

Making Peace In Your Home by Curt Dodd
The idea of peace dominates the Bible. In fact, the very first pages of Scripture indicate that peace was the common denominator in the Garden of Eden. That is, before sin. Man was at peace. The animals were at peace. The earth was at peace. God was at peace with mankind. Then when man's sin interrupted that peace there in the Garden there… ( read more )

Finding Peace in Anxious Times by Robert Walker
Introduction - A young boy was driving a hayrack down the road when the wagon fell over in front of a farmer’s house. The farmer came out, saw the young boy crying and said, "Son, don’t worry about this, we can fix it. Right now dinner’s ready. Why don’t you come in and eat with us and then I’ll help you put the hay back on the rack." The boy said, "No, I can’t. My… ( read more )

Peace In The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death by Nelson Price
Jesus Christ said, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep" (John 10:11). Nothing does more to increase your opinion of Christ as "the good shepherd" than a visit to the Bible Lands. Seeing the land that was the setting for shepherds makes one all the more appreciative of a good shepherd. Knowing your own dry, arid wasteland, those… ( read more )

Peace In The Midst Of The Storm by Terry J. Hallock
The two scenes from Mark that form the Scriptural foundation for this message do not describe the first time the Disciples had been on the Sea of Galilee. Most of them were fisherman and had been out on those waters hundreds of times since their childhood. They knew that Sea like the back of their hand and they knew how to manage a boat in its rough waters... ( read more )

Joy And Peace In Believing by George H. Morrison
It is a question we ought to ask ourselves, in our quiet hours of meditation, whether we really know the joy and peace which are the benediction of our text. It is a great thing to be resigned amid the various buffetings of life. Resignation is better than rebellion. But resignation, however fair it be, is not peculiarly a Christian virtue; it marks the Stoic1 rather… ( read more )

How Can I Have God's Peace Concerning My Future? (14 Of 18) by Stan Coffey
INTRODUCTION: One of the greatest problems we as believers face is that of anxiety concerning the future. It is easy to get caught up in the practice of the world in worrying about what is going to happen in the financial market, real estate market and what might take place concerning our health or our families. Jesus spent much of his time in the Sermon… ( read more )

Learning About The Peace Of God (2 of 6) by Ken Trivette
When I think of God I have to say with Moses, "Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders" (Exodus 15:11). God may be like many things, but we have to say that there is no one or nothing like Him. Because He is a God like no other, it is my desire that we get to know Him better. I want to… ( read more )
