True peace was at the heart of God’s original creation, and God has a plan for us to enjoy peace now. Having made stunning promises of peace during his life, Jesus then secured peace for all time though his death and resurrection. Peace freed the disciples from guilt, fear and anxiety, before they were filled with a positive vision of the future, and in the same way, God’s peace empowers us to fol...

Some people defy expectations: Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela, the Jamaican bobsleigh team(!) They achieved more than anyone bel...

You’ve said things like, “I messed that up,” “I made a mess of that,” or, “My life is a mess.” We’ve all been in, are in, or are only one decision away from a mess.
