Not as the World Gives

25 May 2025

What kind of peace does Jesus really offer, especially when the world is anything but peaceful? In this message based on John 14:23-29, Rev. Donn King reflects on Jesus’s parting words to his disciples on the very night of his betrayal. This was no moment of calm retreat, but a call to receive a different kind of peace, one rooted not in escape from trouble, but in the presence of the Holy Spirit in the midst of chaos.

🎧 Listen as we confront our assumptions about peace and discover the deep, abiding presence Christ offers—not as the world gives, but as only he can.
