Peace What if peace could actually slow your progress—but without peace, you’ll never get where you’re going? In today’s message, we explore the surprising tension between pressure and peace—how both are necessary to grow. From the invention of Play-Doh to the Apostle Peter’s words during intense persecution, we learn that peace isn’t found in perfect circumstances, but in the presence of a Savior who calms both the storm around us and the one within us. We’ll look at the command to cast our anxieties onto God—not gently place but throw them off—because He cares for us. If you're searching for peace, we’ll unpack where it’s truly found, how it shapes your thoughts, and why what fills your mind will eventually lead your life. 1 Peter 5:7 Discussion topics Read Mark 4:35–41 – The storm on the sea What stands out to you about Jesus' response in the middle of the storm?
