THE PATH TO PEACE\nPastor Michael Dascoli\nMarch 15, 2020\n\nPlease turn to 1Samuel 12\n\nThings That Can Rob Peace\n\n1: When circumstances seem uncontrollable\n\n2: When people seem unchangeable\n\n3: When problems seem unexplainable\n\nJehovah Shalom: \u201cI am the Lord of Peace\u201d \n\n\u201cPeace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world\ngives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.\u201d John 14:27\n\n\u201cI have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world \nyou will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.\u201d John 16:33\n\nThe Path to Peace: 3 decisions God will use to feed your peace\n\n1: Accept What Can\u2019t Be Changed (2Samuel 12)\n\n12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through Him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:11b-13\n\nApp: What or who are you trying to change that you need to accept?\n\n2: Trust in God\u2019s Love and Care\n\nThou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on Thee:\nBecause he trusteth in Thee. Isaiah 26:3\n\n\tWhy life can seem a steady stream of problems?\n\n1: Adam choked\n\n2: We have an enemy \n\n3: We choke \n\n\u201cNeither this man nor his parents sinned. This happened so \nthat the works of God might be displayed in him.\u201d John 9:3\n\nDo not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7\n\nApp: What might trusting God more look like for you?\n\n3: Surrender, God\u2019s in Control\n\nThe mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind \ngoverned by the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6\n\nApp: Practice putting it all on the altar\n\n \u201cSince we have been made right in God\u2019s sight by faith, we have peace with \nGod because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us.\u201d Romans 8:1 NLT\n\nWhat is God\u2019s Spirit speaking into your life today? \nHow must you respond?
