Podcasts about scripture: john 14:25-14:27

Peace seems to be in short supply at the moment. But this is nothing new. Since the fall of humanity peace has ebbed and flowed. Sometimes we have it and sometimes we don’t. The good news is, Jesus’ plan is not just about giving us peace, he wants to make us peaceful people. The kind of people our world desperately needs.

Celebrate Advent with us! We have a reason for PEACE – Jesus Christ who forgives our sins and makes peace with God the Father for us! Embrace God’s Word with us as Elder Dave Shumaker continues our Advent series in the message, Peace FROM God, Peace WITH God. • In Christ, we can find peace FROM and WITH God (John 14:25-27) • We can’t have peace FROM God until we have peace WITH God (Romans 1:18-32). We can’t understand the Good News without first understanding the bad news, and the full scope of our rebellion and sin against God. Applications: • How can I help my children understand through gift-giving, that Christmas is about Jesus coming to earth and dying for us as a gift? • How can I minister to “that person” this Christmas? • Learn how to get a handle on your financial stress by signing up for the upcoming Financial Peace University class this winter. • Now is the time to turn from your sins, trust in Jesus Christ for your salvation, and receive peace WITH God.

Jesus said "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you." The context of this verse is that Jesus revealed to the disciples that his time with them is short.

Feeling anxious? Struggling to overcome wounds from past hurts or weakness from present struggles? In this message, guest speaker, Trey Van Camp, shares about how we experience the peace that Jesus offers us.

When the Bible tells us to “be” or “not be” something, how do I know if I am in the state of being that I’m told to “be”? We are taking a break from our study on the gifts to look more at a topic we dipped into in this past Wednesday night’s service that generated some interest. Specifically, how do I know if I am “troubled” or “afraid?” If you were asked “are you troubled?” Our answers would probably vary. What scripture would you go to that shows you what troubled or afraid is? Anytime there is not absolute certainty on a topic, opinions will vary and this leaves room for the enemy to sow wrong doctrine and build false expectations. My hope is that when we are finished today you can know exactly how God defines a troubled or fearful person.

Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” What do these words mean? How can they shape us in the same way that the 23rd Psalm or Lincoln’s Second Inaugural or “Little Red Corvette” have shaped us today? How does the peace Christ offers differ from the peace the world offers, and how does his peace “let not our hearts be troubled, and neither let [them] be afraid?” Rev. Dr. Larry R. Hayward preaches from John 14:25-27 (KJV).

We live in a world that is often hostile to what we believe. This is becoming increasingly evident. Gone are the days when the Judeo/Christian ethic was the foundation of Western Society. There are other religions that stridently decry our moral values. There are advocates of alternative lifestyles that perceive of our values as not only outdated but in fact harmful – even hateful. More and more, followers of Jesus find themselves at odds with the underlying presuppositions of the culture we live in. While this may seem like it is new to us, Jesus and the Early Church felt exactly the same kind of angst living in the 1st Century. Our text is taken from a discussion Jesus was having with his disciples about this very thing. How do you live in a world that is often hostile to what you believe are essential truths? Jesus makes some promises that help us navigate the future, no matter what it may hold. His first promise is that he will not leave the disciples (and us) without a comforter. His presence would continue with them through the participation of the Holy Spirit in our inner beings. This advocate/counselor would play his role that had enacted with the disciples during his earthly ministry. Teaching, guiding, leading, prompting and comforting were all part of that position he played in the lives of his followers. His second promise is that of peace. The Hebrew shalom has a far deeper meaning than our English word peace. It means wholeness of body, soul and spirit. It entails not only peace with God but peace within ourselves and with our fellow man. A right relationship with God and others. True peace is rare in this world. It is often substituted with a false sense of security that is the result of ignorance, denial and or the false sense of security that comes from a naïve believe in self-reliance. God's peace is none of these things but it is a byproduct of trust in God and the presence of the true comforter.
