Hello, friends! I'm so excited to share my sermon titled "Finding Peace in Times of Urgent Need," where we'll explore how to access God's peace during our most challenging moments.
We will delve into the powerful words of Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 to uncover profound insights on seeking God's help when we need it most.
In this sermon, we'll delve into how prayer, supplication with thanksgiving, and the peace of God can transform our anxiety into tranquility. To help us experience his peace, we'll also discuss five practical steps:
- Creating an environment for prayer and reflection.
- Incorporating quiet reflection into your daily routine.
- Writing down your thoughts and prayers.
- Fasting to draw nearer to God.
- Partnering with a prayer group or a trusted friend.
Join me on this journey to discover how we can find peace from God in our times of greatest need. Get ready to experience the calm and strength that come from trusting in his unwavering support. This sermon was preached at West Angeles Church on Wednesday, June 5, 2024.
