Jesus said, “My peace I leave with you.” Very likely, when we pray, peace is often what we ask for - peace in the world, peace at home, and maybe most of all, peace in our relationships - but what did Jesus mean when He said His peace? And how could that make a difference in our problem relationships today? If you or someone you know is struggling with a difficult relationship, this message is for you.

Introduction: Three approaches to peace

  • Inward
  • Outward
  • Upward

The world’s peace: The absence of disturbance and hostility, free from internal and external strife.

God’s peace: Shalom

  1. Complete soundness or wholeness of health
  2. Harmony in relationships
  3. Success and fulfillment of purpose
  4. Victory over one’s enemies
