OUR PEACE PROMISE

 AUGUST 8, 2022

Let’s begin our week a little differently than usual with some Bible verses that reveal the important biblical theme of Peace.



Read through the verses slowly and take in the message that God promises to us.



Perhaps, if time allows, you may want to make a list of words, phrases, or promises that really speak to you.



I invite you to read these through the lens of the verse we looked at on Sunday in our service from Colossians 1:19-20



19 For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. The outcome of Jesus work of creation and restoration is peace.
