VOTW | John 14:27 - The Gift of Peace

Hey Gems!!! Today I want to talk about something that many of us find hard to obtain, but that is more easy to obtain than we think it is. God left us a gift through Jesus that we should all know how to access, but because of the world we live in we just don’t get it. That gift is peace. Peace is something we believe is far-fetched and many don’t take it seriously, but we should. Peace should keep us strong. Jesus even tells us this in John 14:27, Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I mean wow. He tells us all about the gift He’s giving to us and what we should do. In typical DOI fashion let’s breakdown some words for a deeper understanding or interpretation. Peace – Greek word eiréné meaning peace of mind, rest, quietness, God’s gift of wholeness; state of national tranquility; security, safety, prosperity the tranquil state of a soul assured of its salvation t...

Expository Exultation by John Piper {Book Review}

Title :  Expository Exultation Author :  John Piper Age : Adult Genres : Christian, Non-Fiction Publication Date :  April 16, 2018 Publisher : Crossway Source : eBook Purchase : Hardcover | Kindle | B&N | ChristianBook   Synopsis :   “God has appointed preaching in worship as one great means of accomplishing his ultimate goal in the world.” —John Piper  John Piper makes a compelling claim in these pages about the purpose of preaching: it is intended not merely as an explanation of the text but also as a means of awakening worship by being worship in and of itself. Christian preaching is a God-appointed miracle aiming to awaken the supernatural seeing, savoring, and showing of the glory of Christ.  Distilling over forty years of experience in preaching and teaching, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from God’s Word, so that God’s purpose on earth will advance through Biblesaturated, Chris...
