An Ocean of Peace

BRIDGETOWN CHURCH
About this episode

In this teaching, John Mark Comer reflects on Colossians 3v15, inviting Followers of Jesus to “let the peace of Christ rule” in the core of their being. He shares his personal journey with anxiety and how cultivating inner peace is essential for living a life of love in a troubled world. Through Scripture and wisdom from church history, he reminds us that true peace is not the absence of conflict but a gift from God available to us now, even amid chaos.
