Picking up again with “Peace in the Storm,” Pastor Owen Mason reminds us that spiritual battles are real, but so is the peace of Christ. Drawing from Ephesians 6, believers are called to stand firm—fastening on truth, righteousness, salvation, and especially the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. Peace is not passive; it is armor. The enemy often attacks through anger, fear, and hidden sin—asking us, “Who are you mad at? What are you afraid of? What are you hiding?” Yet Romans declares we are more than conquerors through Christ.

There are two types of peace: peace with God (and one another), secured through Jesus’ sacrifice, and the peace of God, which guards our hearts and minds. Through Christ, we have been brought near and hostility has been destroyed. We don’t fight for peace—we fight from peace.

Acts 16 shows Paul and Silas worshiping in prison at midnight. Though beaten and chained, they sang. Their inner peace preceded their outward deliverance. God shook the prison, not just to free them, but to save the jailer and his household. Storms become stages for salvation.

True peace comes when our minds stay fixed on God (Isaiah 26:3), when we replace anxiety with prayer and thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6–7), and when we let Christ’s peace rule our hearts (Colossians 3:15). The God of peace ultimately crushes Satan under our feet.

No matter your storm, Jesus Himself is your peace.
