❓ Do you really have peace with God? You might think you do… but what if you're wrong? The Bible says we don't automatically have peace with God. But there IS a way to have peace with Him today.
Jesus didn't fix your record He changed your story
Speaker: Pastor John Cook Scripture: Numbers Numbers 22:22-40 Date: 20/9/26
What some describe as loneliness is actually a lack of peace with God. It is a worldwide problem that often goes undiagnosed and is the most pervasive disease on the planet. In this sermon on Ephesians 2:17 titled “Peace With God,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones explains Paul's words to the Ephesian church, primarily focusing on the necessity of peace with God. An important emphasis Dr. Lloyd-Jones makes is that Christ now preaches through the apostles what he was preaching in His own ministry: Jews and Gentiles alike are sinners and need peace with God. Jews in the New Testament made the fatal moralistic mistake of equating knowledge with obedience. Likewise, Gentiles fell short in that they chose to disobey the Lord with their sinful lifestyles. Dr. Lloyd-Jones uses vivid imagery to help listeners understand the reality of humanity's natural state of turmoil with God. He illustrates that the ocean is being pulled upon both by magnetic forces from the moon and the gravitational pull from the earth. This in turn causes massive turmoil and unrest in the ocean. This is similar to humanity's natural state. Humanity is not at rest; it is at war with God. Dr. Lloyd-Jones ends his sermon on an encouraging note: humans bear many burdens they need not bear simply because they have not brought them before the Lord. Listen in as Dr. Lloyd-Jones helps understand peace with God. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/603/29?v=20251111
Romans Volume II: Living Under GraceBecause Jesus has already done the greater work of justifying and reconciling us through His death, we can trust Him to complete our salvation and rescue us from God's wrath. And because of all He has done and all that is still to come, we have every reason to rejoice not only in His gifts, but in God Himself.Sermon Preached by Chris Lewis on September 20, 2026Foothill Church exists to glorify God by living as disciples of Jesus who make disciples of Jesus.https://foothill.church
In Romans 8:1, Paul summarizes not just chapter 7, but his whole argument up to this point. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Having carefully expounded the divine principle whereby God justifies sinners and frees them from all condemnation for their guilt, Paul now shows that the believer has much more to enjoy in terms of freedom from condemnation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.
The Assurance Of Peace With God
Working in Romans 10, Gerry G. Register goes back first to Romans 6: how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein? Dead is past tense, an accomplished thing, and he that is dead is freed not only from sin's consequence but from its power. "The power of sin has no dominion over you any longer." There is the Spirit and there is the flesh, and no middle ground. The second half takes up tradition, from Matthew 15, Isaiah 29, Ezekiel 33 and Mark 7: men make the commandment of God of none effect by their tradition, and a believism gospel handed down through the denominations has become exactly that. Then back to Romans 10 and a zeal not according to knowledge, with Jeremiah's broken cisterns set against the fountain of living waters. Recorded Sunday, 6 September 2026. Romans, Part 47. A Call To Readiness: the preaching of Gerry G. Register.
Lev. 5:1-14. 8/16/26. An expositional sermon from the book of Leviticus.
Romans Volume II: Living Under Grace Through faith in Jesus, we are justified and brought into a whole new relationship with God: we have peace with Him, stand securely in His grace, and rejoice in the hope of His glory. These are lasting realities for every Christian, grounded not in our performance but in what Christ has accomplished for us.

What does it mean to have peace with God?
Here’s a tough question... What one problem in your life, if it were solved today, would make everything better? We tend to focus on symptoms (pain points) rather than on root causes. We want to fix the problems we feel rather than what causes those problems. In this episode of Live the Bible, we will dig past the surface symptoms to get to a root question we’ve all yearned to answer: How do we find peace? The book of Leviticus offers us helpful wisdom as we uncover the fascinating answer that can make everything better.

With Chris away this week, Jo and Alex tackle Romans chapter 5 as a two-hander, opening with a read-through of verses 1–11. They start with the "where does this chapter sit?" question. After the argument of chapters 1–4, Paul pivots: Jesus returns to the centre of the text after being largely absent since the "mission statement" of 1:16–17, and the vocabulary shifts from justification language toward grace, the Spirit, and life. Jo and Alex read the chapter's opening "peace" as a pointed contrast with the Pax Romana, a peace won by conquest, versus the Old Testament's promised peace realised through the Davidic king. From there they trace Paul's move from "access" and "grace" (charis) into the well-known chain of suffering, endurance, character and hope, discussing whether this is a formula to be pursued or simply a description of how faith holds up under real hardship (with a detour into the early church's problem of Christians actively seeking out martyrdom, and why the "mature church leaders" pushed back on that). The middle of the episode works through verses 6–11: Christ dying for the weak, the ungodly and sinners while they were still God's enemies, the odd logic of verse 7 (why someone might die for a genuinely good person but not a merely righteous one), and how that sets up the scale of the argument: justification by blood, salvation from wrath, and reconciliation as entirely God's initiative rather than something humanity brings about through repentance. Jo and Alex sit with the tension of God's holiness being genuinely opposed to sin, and why that makes the reconciliation described here more than a simple apology-and-restoration. The second half of the episode covers the notoriously difficult verses 12–21, which Jo and Alex both flag upfront as one of the hardest passages in Paul to interpret. They work through Paul's Adam/Christ typology: Adam and Jesus each functioning as a representative "head" of a category of humanity, not unlike Abraham's role in chapter 4; and the grammatical detour Paul takes between verse 12 and verse 18 (a broken sentence structure, sometimes called an anacoluthon, where he starts a thought and doesn't complete it until several verses later) to deal with two side questions: how sin and death applied before the Mosaic law existed, and how Adam's sin connects to the rest of humanity. On that second question they lay out several ways scholars have read it: a shared inheritance, corporate representation, universal individual sinning, or some combination, without landing on one answer, and touch on the historic Augustinian reading of inherited guilt as one tradition among several. They also flag N.T. Wright's minority reading of Romans 5–8 as a "new Exodus" narrative as an interesting, if contested, lens. The episode closes on the chapter's asymmetry: the "free gift" is not a mere restoration to Eden but something that abounds beyond the original trespass, and the closing verses on the law increasing the trespass while grace abounds all the more raise the now-and-not-yet question of what "reigning in life" looks like for Christians today, including a brief aside on where that question sits behind live conversations about Christian nationalism. Jo and Alex flag that this sets up chapter 6's question of how believers are meant to live in light of it.

What happens when we reach the limits of what we can fix on our own? In Romans 3, Paul answers with two powerful words: “But now.” God has acted in grace, doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves. In this message, Pastor Mark explores how grace meets our guilt, shame, bondage, and brokenness with forgiveness, freedom, reconciliation, and peace. We don't have to save ourselves. We can loosen our grip, trust the God Jesus reveals, and receive the gift of grace. Get the 5-Day Devotional based on this sermon at revmarkreynolds.com.

Romans 5 reminds us that our peace with God is not a feeling but a settled reality for those who have been justified by faith. Our salvation begins by grace and is preserved by the faithfulness of Christ, not by our own effort. This episode encourages believers to rest in the security of what God has begun and trust Him to finish it.
Most of us can describe the kind of person we want to become—more patient, less anxious, genuinely humble—but we struggle to close the gap between our aspirations and our actual lives. In this message, Matt explores Romans 5 and asks where real transformation comes from. He unpacks what it means that God has already rendered a verdict over our lives, why that changes how we relate to suffering, and how the cross settles once and for all whether God truly loves us. This message offers a different foundation for change: not earning God’s acceptance, but living from the acceptance we’ve already received in Christ.
Romans 5:1
Do you ever feel like you're not really living — just making it through the day? Between work, school drop-offs, endless to-do lists, and trying to keep up with everyone's needs but your own, it's easy for busyness to pull you into survival mode without you even noticing. In this episode, we talk about why survival mode feels so normal for busy Christian moms, what it actually does to our hearts, and how God invites us to walk with Him — not once life slows down, but right in the middle of it. We look at Isaiah 40:29-31 and what it means to find renewed strength in our weariness instead of waiting for a season that never comes. You'll learn: Why busyness pulls us into "autopilot" instead of away from God What Isaiah 40:29-31 teaches about strength for the weary A simple, practical shift you can make today to move from surviving to walking with Christ Why faithfulness isn't about a perfectly balanced schedule If you've ever said "I'll reconnect with God after this busy season," this episode is for you.

The Life Altering Reality of Knowing Peace With God; Isaiah 57; Bennie Tomberlin. Scripture read by Roger Niccum.
In 2 Corinthians 5 Paul expounds the doctrine of peace with God, emphasizing that believers serve as ambassadors for Christ. Vain human attempts to earn favor with God contrast sharply with the unilateral act of divine grace where Christ bears the penalty for our sin. Both lost individuals and existing believers are urged by Paul to accept this declared peace rather than negotiate or doubt it. By highlighting the permanence of Christ's atonement, the message aims to comfort the faithful and convict the unbelieving. Ultimately, Paul calls for a constant reliance on the finished work of Jesus to maintain spiritual assurance.

In 1965, Mick Jagger, the lead singer of The Rolling Stones, and the lead guitarist, Keith Richards, wrote one of their most popular hit songs; “Can't Get No Satisfaction.” This 1965 classic perfectly captures that restless, unfulfilled endless chase for satisfaction that nothing in the world can truly provide. Many of you feel like you have tried everything, and yet you aren't satisfied. Something deep inside still feels empty, restless, and lonely. Billy Graham stood before brilliant students at Harvard when one asked, “Tell me plainly, how can I know God?” The answer hasn't changed in 2,000 years. Today we'll walk through the four simple yet powerful steps from God's Word that will answer plainly, how you can know God.1 - God's Purpose2 - Our Problem3 - God's Remedy4 - Our ResponseKey Scriptures used in today's teaching: Romans 5:6-11Other Scriptures referenced: Romans 15:13; John 10:10; Isaiah 59:2; Romans 6:23; 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Timothy 2:5-6; 1 Peter 2:24-25; John 1:12-13; Romans 10:13If you prayed with Tiff, click here https://lostlamb.org/ and let him know!

Why do New Testament greetings consistently begin with grace and then peace? In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef answers with a Gospel cornerstone: no one can experience the peace of God before receiving the grace of God. Grace is the doorway; peace is the fruit. Anchored in Christ's finished work, believers have peace yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus bore the punishment that brought us peace (Isaiah 53:5), and God made the sinless Savior to be sin for us so we could be declared righteous (2 Corinthians 5:21). That means peace isn't a mood—it's a restored relationship with God. And grace doesn't only reconcile us vertically; it reshapes our relationships horizontally. As we walk in the Spirit, we can extend grace and forgiveness to others, reflecting the peace we've received. Finally, Dr. Youssef lifts our eyes to the future: a day when shalom—complete wholeness—will be perfected forever, with no more tears, pain, or brokenness (Revelation 21:4). Are you resting in Christ's grace—and therefore His peace—right now? Prayer: God, I praise You for the grace and peace You have given to me. Help me to own it in the present in my relationships with You and others as I anticipate my future in the glory of Christ. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).

Youssef's sermon Revelation for Today, Lord of the Beginning and the End: LISTEN NOW| WATCH NOW The voice you hear on the MY Devotional podcast is digitally generated with Dr. Youssef's permission. If today's devotional stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don't have to walk through it alone.
The gospel of peace is more than a comforting idea. It's the declaration that Jesus reigns as King, bringing wholeness to your relationship with God, quieting the conflicts within you, and restoring your connection with others. When doubt, shame, or division threaten to knock you off balance, this truth becomes your firm footing. Listen now and be inspired to preach the gospel to yourself daily and stand grounded in lasting peace.
