Summary
In this episode of Peace of the City, Rev. Dr. Jason Storbakken preaches from John 14:23–29, exploring the promise of Christ’s peace: “not as the world gives.”Titled God’s Home, this sermon invites us to imagine a God who does not demand perfection but chooses to dwell with us—in love, in truth, and in peace. Jason contrasts the world’s transactional, performative peace with the liberating, abiding peace of Abba. Drawing from trauma-informed chaplaincy and nonviolent practice, he asks: What kind of God makes a home with us? And what does it mean to become a home for God’s peace?This is not a peace that demands silence or compliance—but one that tells the truth, holds sorrow and joy, and stays with us through transition and healing. In a world of temporary peace and conditional love, Jesus offers something deeper.
