“Pursue peace with all people.”
Solomon Mangeni, 18th September 2010
PEACE ILLUSTRATION
I. The first chose his scene as a still serene lake among the far off
mountains.
Mark 4:37-38
A fierce storm
Beating against the boat, almost full with water
Jesus is frantically woken ‘don’t you even care that we are going
to drown?’
NOTE:
In a trouble sea; Jesus was at ease – Peaceful
V 39- On waking up, He stills the wind
PEACE WONDERFUL PEACE
“It isn’t enough to talk about peace, one must believe in it, and it isn’t
enough to believe in it, one must work at it.”
The Peace that Christ won for us also requires effort, hard work and
constant self examination. (Bible study guide Q1 2010 pg. 30)
PEACE IRONY

PEACE WITH GOD
Romans 5:1 Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace
with God through our lord Jesus Christ.
There is no better news than this to any sinner (of whom I am chief).
BUT: Peace, real peace has more to do with how we handle the
situations than with the situations themselves.
REAL PEACE
Sure/possible?
Vietnam story:
PSALM 131:2 says; ‘I have stilled and quieted my soul. [Read NLT]
Psalms 56:11 In God I’ve put my trust, I will not be afraid. What can
man do to me?
Psalms 91:5 you shall not be afraid of the terror by night nor of the
arrow that flies by day.
When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your
your sleep will be sweet. [Proverbs 3:24].
Isaiah 41:10 fear not for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I
am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold
you with my righteous right hand.
Peace Peace wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above,
Sweep over my spirit forever I pray,
In Fathomless billows I pray.
