Peace I leave With You

Peace can flow through the things of the world (people, experiences), but true peace comes from the work of the Holy Spirit. It’s a state of mind that we can grow and foster to be our defence in any situation. 

We are the instruments for God to bring peace on earth. Listen and learn about peace from scripture as Christine and Steph share some of their thoughts on what true peace looks like, how we can be peacemakers at home, and how we can teach our children to live peace-filled lives. 

Points:

1. What does true peace look like?
2. How can we be peacemakers?
3. How do we foster peace in our lives and the lives of our children? Songs, animals, books, scripture,
