2010-01-24-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning January 24th, 2010 in the 8:30 service.

Scripture: John 16:33; 14:27; Philippians 4:4-7

Topic: Peace

Notes:- Called for a week of no complaining- We don't belong here but must live among the sin, rebellion- Tribulation is part of life- Two kinds of peace: the world's peace that is temporary and the Lord’s peace that gives hope when everything is upside down- Sabra-naturally born Jew, also a plant prickly on outside and sweet fruit on the inside; Peace comes wrapped in trouble- By being thankful and joyous we tear into the peace of God- Jesus brought peace to the disciples in times of trouble- Don't let your heart be troubled; don't let them steal your joy- We cannot carry other people's burdens though we can bare them- We expect the worst in a situation, looking through the eyes of man- Only God can change, rebuild, restore and give peace- In God's kingdom things must die before they can live
