Greetings!

I just want to encourage you today! I want to talk about PEACE. It is only found in one place! I want to help you find it. I have found it in a place that is available to everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord! Because everyone who calls on the name of the Lord, will be saved.

There were many who wrote in the Bible about where Peace could be found. Paul wrote to the Philippians of how valuable God’s peace is—not as the world gives, but God’s peace. He said in chapter 4, verse 7, “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus!

Luke reminds us as he wrote in the book of Acts, chapter 2:25-26, 28 of David’s words,

“I saw the Lord always before me,

Because he is at my right hand,

I WILL NOT BE SHAKEN!

Therefore, my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope.

You have made known to me the paths of life;

You will fill me with joy IN YOUR PRESENCE!!

There it is!!! This is where you find peace!! In His Presence, there is peace! In His presence, I will NOT BE SHAKEN!

In His presence, there is no place for depression!

Sickness has no place in His presence!

Fear has no place in His presence!

Shame has no place, doubt has no place, bitterness has no place in His presence!

Un-forgiveness has no place in His presence.

Bondage has no place in His presence.

Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM!

In His presence, we find rest. In His presence, we find peace. Let us help you find His peace as we welcome you to Hillcrest Community Church. We strive to know Him and make Him known. We invite you to come and experience the love of Christ and His peace.

And now, may the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you, giving you HIS PEACE!

Many blessings to you,

Pastor Kristi Rhodes
