What’s stopping you from having peace in your life?
We all want peace, but in a world filled with anxiety, conflict, and stress, peace can feel impossible to find. This week, we’re going to talk about how real peace—God’s peace—can change everything. We’ll unpack the practical ways that Jesus calls us to be peacemakers, not just in our own hearts but in our relationships with others. Join us as we look at what it really means to bring peace into the chaos, because the truth is, peace is out there—it’s just waiting for us to step into it.
