Scripture: Philippians 4:5-7

In this sermon, we delve into the Biblical understanding of peace, or Shalom, as more than just the absence of conflict. Using the Garden of Eden as an example of perfect peace, we illustrate how it encompasses harmony with God, oneself, others, and creation. The sermon then focuses on Paul’s teachings in Philippians 4:5-7, emphasizing the importance of God’s presence in achieving peace. We explain that recognizing “The Lord is at hand” (Phil. 4:5) is crucial for overcoming anxiety. He encourages listeners to approach God with prayer and thanksgiving, trusting that the “peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Phil. 4:7) will guard their hearts and minds. The sermon concludes by reminding the audience that this divine peace is available to all who seek God in the midst of their fears and anxieties.
