The document discusses the concept of peace from several biblical perspectives. It explores finding peace through a relationship with God reconciled by Jesus, having peace with brethren and living peaceably with all people. Several bible verses are presented that discuss peace being a fruit of the spirit, having peace with God through faith, pursuing peace with others, and Jesus offering peace in this world.
The Holy Spirit is the Voice of God, the Power of God and the Presence of God we experience on earth yet He is often the most ignored, misunderstood and possibly the most grieved member of the Godhead when He is not treated as a real Person but rather as a force or power. This slide series should help us love and appreciate the Holy Spirit for Whom He really is.
The fruit of the spirit is joy. Paul’s letter tto the Philippians teaches us that real joy is not dependent on our circumstances, but on being in a right relationship with our Lord Jesus and with our brothers and sisters in Christ.

In this lesson we learn that joy is more than just cheerfulness or happiness, it is about being in a relationship with God. Joy results from knowing Jesus, knowing life, and knowing fellowship.
When times get tough, everyone looks for someone who can convince them that it's going to be okay. But how do you really know? This sermon presents three solid reasons from 1 Peter 1:1-12 to help us see that no matter what we're going through, it's going to be okay!
How is it possible for Jesus’ death to save us from our sins. The key is propitiation. Just as the passover lamb appeased God’s wrath, so the blood of Jesus provides the way for our return to fellowship with God.

The Fruit of the Spirit is Self-ControlDave Stewart
The final fruit of the spirit is self-control, which means that we are to have control over our bodies and minds. The apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 9 reminded us that we must be like athletes.
This is the second of a series of presentations about the development of Christian character, based on a study of the fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5:22-23. The presentation was prepared by Dr Kevin Smith, Vice-Principal of the South African Theological Seminary.
There is only one real solution to the storms of life: Jesus. If you face great storms and long from a great calm; if you are afraid and have little faith then cry out to Jesus. Three lessons: Jesus is on the boat with you; He cares; and cry out to Him when afraid.
Paul and Joshua remind us that although we may sometimes fail in our obedience to God, we can return to joy and victory if we will 1) Overcome our sense of failure; 2) Return to Full Obedience; and 3) Trust in God’s Complete Forgiveness.
Can we know absolutely whether something is right or wrong? What is our standard of morality? The only absolute standard we can have is to look back to the one who created us and imitate Him. We know right and wrong because it is the very character of God.
This is a study of Jesus being the one God works through to accomplish in us those things that are pleasing to Him. God gets His pleasure through Jesus who gets us to do His will.

"He has given us of His Spirit" Part 2Dave Stewart
In this lesson we’ll learn a little bit more about the Holy Spirit. We’ll discuss the person of the Holy Spirit, and His role in miracles, conversion and understanding the Word. This lesson was influenced by the writings of Wayne Jackson (https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/29-false-ideas-about-the-holy-spirit) and Jim McGuiggan (http://www.jimmcguiggan.com/reflections3.asp?status=The+Holy+Spirit&id=361).
You need to be aware of how you speak of God and how you think of Him. This lesson will help you understand how you can speak and think positively of God no matter what is happening in your life, because you know all that He does for you.
1 Peter 3:13-22: As Peter continues to encourage us through our exile, he reminds us that though we my suffer and come to harm, God wants to bless us. So we don’t have to fear or be troubled, we keep Jesus in our hearts as Lord, and we tell others of our hope. The example of Christ reminds us that Jesus suffered also, but was blessed.

1 Peter 2:13-3:12Peter’s exhortation to be subject to government, masters, husbands, wives, and that all of us are thoughtful of others is difficult for most of us, especially when we face suffer because of those who are unjust.

1 Peter 1:13 - 2:3: Because we have been ransomed through Jesus and we are anticipating the revelation of Jesus, Peter helps us understand three keys in how we spend our time in exile: 1) preparing your minds for action; 2) being sober-minded; and 3) having your hope set fully on God’s grace. https://youtu.be/QEXw_qG0SfE

Acts 7:20-29: Moses sought to be with his brothers but they rejected him. And he was exiled. Cain refused to care for his brother, and he was alone. But it’s not good for man to be alone. Why do we slip into the thinking of Cain so easily and find ourselves alone? Being brothers is not easy, but let brotherly love continue.
Of all the metaphors for believers, the one most often used in the NT is “adelphos” (siblings, brothers and sisters). After Jesus’ ascension the company who gathered in the upper room consisted of both men and women, and Peter calls all of them brethren. In Acts 15, both Jewish believers and Gentile believers are called brethren.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
