Podcasts about pursuing peace

In this series, we've been talking about four names given to Jesus before He was born. In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares the significance of the name: Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 tells us that Messiah's name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.Today we focus on Prince of Peace. In Hebrew, Sar Shalom.Sar means Captain, Chief, General, Ruler. Jesus doesn't give sentimental peace—He establishes peace by enforcing the rule of the King.So what is peace? In Hebrew, Shalom.Shalom is an all-encompassing word that describes when everything is as it should be.Calling the Messiah the Prince of Peace isn't a promise of fewer battles; it's God promising His presence through them. When your world is falling apart, God sent the One who holds all things together. He doesn't just have peace—He is peace.Peace does not come from inactivity.1 Peter 3:11 says to seek peace and pursue it. Peace won't come by doing nothing. If the world has to stop for you to have peace, you'll never have peace. Peace isn't the absence of problems; it's remaining resolute despite them.Peace does not come from control.Some people think peace comes when they get their own way. That's not peace—that's immaturity. Proverbs 3:5 reminds us to trust in the Lord and not lean on our own understanding. You cannot control your way into peace.Three Things Jesus Does as the Prince of PeaceJesus demonstrates how to live a life of peace. In Mark 4, Jesus sleeps during a storm while the disciples panic. A storm outside doesn't have to mean a storm inside. Fear responds to facts; faith responds to truth. Sometimes peace isn't God calming the storm as much as God calming His child.Jesus secured the peace treaty between God and mankind. Colossians 1 tells us that through the cross, Jesus made peace between God and humanity. You can't experience the peace of God until you've made peace with God. Peace with God isn't earned—it's received.Jesus offers us His peace. John 14:27 says Jesus gives us His peace, not the world's version. You can't have the peace of God while fighting the rule of God. Peace is a person you must yield to. Where Jesus is Lord, peace will rule; where He is not, chaos will rule.ClosingIsaiah 26:3 says God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are fixed on Him. Peace doesn't come from changing everything around you—it comes from fixing your focus. When your thoughts are fixed on fear, peace gets blurry. When they're fixed on the Prince of Peace, clarity comes.A new year is right around the corner. What if we don't need a new year—we just need a new ruler? Where the Prince rules, His peace reigns.Are you letting Jesus be your Prince of Peace?

In this episode of Soul Sense from Samaritan's Well, Mark interviews Frank Healy, a Licensed Professional Counselor and life coach with over 40 years of experience who possesses the extraordinary ability to remember every single day of his life from age six to present—nearly 60 years of daily memories. Frank shares how this rare condition led him to develop specialized techniques for healing traumatic memories and releasing negative emotions, which he's documented in over 20 books including "Heal Your Memories, Change Your Life." Through personal stories and practical insights, Frank explains his "train metaphor" (thought factory, emotion junction, action city), the power of reframing beliefs, and why forgiveness—including self-forgiveness—is essential for moving forward. He emphasizes that while we can't change the past, we have the power to change how we relate to our memories and that dwelling on regret only reinforces negative patterns. You can find Frank's books on Amazon or visit his website at HealysHealing.com for more resources on emotional healing and personal transformation.Thanks for joining us for this podcast!

(Colossians 3:12-14) Today as we pick up our series dealing with conflict, Gavin acknowledges the difficulty that is present in choosing to forgive others. While there might be a desire to, because we know it is the right thing to do, forgiveness is hard! Paul's words in Colossians however give us a beautiful opportunity to understand how we can prepare ourselves to forgive. Join us as Gavin unpacks the wardrobe of values we choose to wear that help us prepare to forgive.

Title: Pursuing Peace Scripture: Romans 14:19 Speaker: Dr. Victor Borden Date: September 28, 2025 PM

Session 3: Pursuing Peace in Marriage (Philippians 4:4–9) In this final session of our Marriage Conference series, we turn to Philippians 4:4–9 and explore what it means to pursue peace in marriage. We've seen how humility lays the foundation (Phil. 2:1–8) and unity grows when we put away grumbling and disputing (Phil. 2:14–16). Now Paul shows us the fruit of that process: peace. But peace doesn't just happen—it must be pursued. Drawing from Paul's words, written from a prison cell, we'll discover that peace isn't about circumstances going smoothly at home, but about letting Christ rule in our hearts and marriages. Together, we'll look at five calls for every couple: The call to rejoice in the Lord, even when circumstances disappoint. The call to reasonableness, cultivating gentleness instead of harshness. The call to prayer, turning anxiety into dependence on God. The call to renew our minds, focusing on what is true, pure, and commendable. The call to practice daily habits of peace, knowing the God of peace Himself will be with us. This session will help you see how peace flows from the gospel: forgiven people forgive, reconciled people reconcile, loved people love. And as you actively pursue peace together, your marriage becomes a living testimony that Christ Himself is present in your home.

What does it mean to be Spirit-led and scripturally grounded? In the final episode of our Steady Hands, Ready Hearts series, Craig Smith and Colin McFarland dive deep into 1 Thessalonians 5 and explore how to live in the creative tension between hearing from the Holy Spirit and staying rooted in biblical truth. Craig shares what didn't make the weekend sermon, how the Spirit changed the trajectory of his upcoming sermon series, and why spiritual discernment isn't about certainty—it's about faithful obedience. Whether you're processing a big decision or just want to grow in listening to God, this one's for you. As always, shoot us your questions at info@missionhills.org and enjoy today's episode.

JAMES 3 teaches that the truly wise person controls their tongue and sows peace, not discord. This sobering reminder from Pastor Robbie's sermon challenges us to consider: Are we bringing Kingdom wisdom to our online interactions?

Philippians 4:1-9 NLT1 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord. I love you and long to see you, dear friends, for you are my joy and the crown I receive for my work. 2 Now I appeal to Euodia and Syntyche. Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement. 3 And I ask you, my true partner, to help these two women, for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News. They worked along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are written in the Book of Life. 4 Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again—rejoice! 5 Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. 6 Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. 8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. 9 Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me—everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you. • • •1. Pursuing peace with others • • •Philippians 4:1-5 NLT1 Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stay true to the Lord.

On this episode of The Disciple-Making Parent Podcast, we explore the unavoidable reality of conflict in our lives and how to handle it biblically. We're joined by Dr. Robert Jones, author of "Pursuing Peace: A Christian Guide to Our Conflicts," who shares powerful insights about conflict management from a Christian perspective. We discuss how conflict is inevitable in all relationships - whether in marriage, parenting, or church leadership. As Dr. Jones explains, statistically "one out of one people" deal with conflict, and those numbers multiply when you add spouses and children to the mix. We also examine the transformative concept of "pleasing God" as our ultimate goal in conflict situations. Rather than focusing on winning arguments or changing others, we explore how prioritizing what pleases God can radically change our approach to disagreements. This episode offers practical wisdom for anyone experiencing conflict in their relationships and provides a biblical framework for seeing conflict not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity for spiritual growth.----Thanks for listening to the Disciple Making Parent podcast.

Segment 1: • The Southern Baptist Convention heads to Dallas—and tensions are rising. • Debates over the ERLC's purpose and women's roles in the church resurface. • Millions of dollars are at stake—are they fueling mission or bureaucracy? Segment 2: • Todd questions if the SBC is investing more in politics than people. • Al Mohler even questions the ERLC's effectiveness—so what now? • What if those dollars were redirected to direct gospel work? Segment 3: • The SBC wants unity—but disagreements over essentials threaten that goal. • True unity can't be built on compromise—it must be rooted in truth. • The Lord's Table reminds us: sin is deep, but grace is deeper. Segment 4: • As the SBC meets, deeper questions loom: Are we majoring in minors? • MacArthur and Sproul once showed how to disagree without dividing. • Maybe it's time to refocus on the gospel and rediscover love for God. ___ Thanks for listening!
