God’s Perfect Peace

by

Powerful time in Isaiah 26 this morning.  So many people with so much that God is doing in their lives right now.  Incredible just to be a bystander to watch him at work.

Today’s services:

  • Risen – North Side Worship
  • Christ Is Risen (He Is Risen Indeed) – Keith and Kristyn Getty
  • Announcements (Chronic Pain Class, Ladies’ Night Out, Marriage Conference)
  • Prayer Time – Sanctity of Human Life Emphasis
  • At the Cross – North Side Arrangement
  • When I Survey the Wondrous Cross – North Side Arrangement
  • When I Think About the Lord – Jason Breland
  • Sermon – God’s Perfect Peace (Isa. 26:1-3)
  • Hold Me Jesus – Rich Mullins

The worship team did a fantastic job leading people into God’s presence today.  It was incredible to hear the people sing out.

Sermon Notes

  1. Peace is acquired when your mind stays fixed on God.
  2. Peace is not determined by circumstances but obtained through trust.
  3. How can I live at peace? 1) Set my mind to think about God. 2) Set my heart to trust God.
  4. “You keep him in perfect peace” is written in the original language as “peace peace.”  It is a literary doubling up to show emphasis.
  5. Make it a priority to think about the LORD.
  6. Don’t be like Peter who focused on the wind and the waves (Matt. 14:30).

The steadfast of mind you will keep in perfect peace because he trust in you. -Isaiah 26:3
