Fruit of the Spirit - Peace

May 17, 2026    Pastor Jeff Lister

This exploration of peace as a fruit of the Spirit takes us beyond surface-level tranquility into the profound Hebrew concept of shalom—wholeness, completeness, and perfect harmony under God. We discover that biblical peace isn't merely the absence of conflict but the very presence of God in our lives.


The message walks us through three essential dimensions of peace: peace with God through Jesus Christ, peace for our souls amid life's chaos, and peace within our communities. Drawing from Isaiah 26:3, we're reminded that perfect peace comes when our minds stay fixed on God rather than the endless distractions and fear-inducing messages of our world.


The challenge before us is profound yet simple: in an age of constant information overload and anxiety-producing news cycles, can we redirect our attention to the Prince of Peace? We're invited to recognize that peace cannot be purchased through subscriptions or self-help solutions, but only received through surrendering to Jesus.
