How to Experience the Peace of God

Philippians 4:1-7
Introduction:

A small boat came ashore and an officer handed this shipwrecked sailor some newspapers. This officer said., ‘‘the captain suggests that you read what is going on in the world and then let us know if you want to be rescued.
Praise ought to be the beat of our heart. Joy ought to be the breath in our lungs. It is ama ...
