What is stealing your peace?

In Philippians 4:1–9, Paul shows us that biblical peace is not pretending everything is fine or waiting for every problem to disappear. Peace is found in the presence of Christ; and it meets us in real life, with real conflict, real anxiety, and real thoughts that need to be brought under the truth of God.

This message looks at three peace killers: unaddressed conflict, unreleased anxiety, and unguarded thoughts. Through Jesus, I don’t have to numb, suppress, or control what is weighing on my soul. I can bring it to God, pursue peace with others, and let Scripture reshape my mind.

Phoenix Bible Church is a church in the heart of the city of Phoenix, Arizona. We desire to engage culture, uphold truth and love people. In a world where life can be heavy and confusing, we want to cover the hard truths - with grace. This is difficulty and messy - and so are we - but the love of Jesus meets us in our mess.

Our rhythm is to gather to worship on Sunday and then scatter during the week to love, live and lead together.

We are imperfect people moved by the perfect love of Jesus.

Come as you are. Experience His love.
