Life on the Vine: Peace

Most people don't think much about peace—until it's gone.When anxiety rises, relationships become strained, life feels out of control, or our minds won't slow down, we quickly realize how valuable peace really is.In Part 3 of the Life on the Vine series, Marcel Hall explores the fruit of the Spirit known as peace and why biblical peace is much deeper than the absence of conflict. Drawing from Galatians 5, Philippians 4, and the broader story of Scripture, this message examines how peace grows when we stay connected to the God of peace.Along the way, Marcel unpacks the biblical meaning of peace, the difference between temporary relief and lasting peace, why we often look for peace in the wrong places, and how following the Holy Spirit transforms us into peacemakers who bring God's presence into our families, workplaces, schools, and communities.Whether you're dealing with anxiety, uncertainty, conflict, or simply feeling overwhelmed, this message offers practical and spiritual guidance for experiencing a deeper peace that isn't dependent on circumstances.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Sports Story 02:00 The Fruit of the Spirit: Peace 04:00 What Peace Really Means 07:00 The God of Peace 10:00 Peace Is a Fruit of the Spirit 12:00 Cultivating the Conditions for Peace 14:00 Walking With the Spirit 20:00 Drawing Near to the God of Peace 22:00 Peace Through God's Presence 24:00 Peace Through God's Truth 25:00 Peace Through Remembering God's Faithfulness 26:00 Philippians 4 and Anxiety 27:00 Becoming Peaceful People 29:00 Becoming Peacemakers 31:00 Practical Action Steps 33:00 Final Challenge and PrayerClick here to donate to the programClick here for more sermonsOC Church of Christ
