Peace
Jesus offers a peace that is lasting and not dependent on what is going on around you. In the crazy busy moments of life, in the stressful times dealing with other people, in the times when it all seems overwhelming, Jesus can bring a peace filled with contentment, confidence, power and assurance. The world sees peace as an absence of conflict.

Belt Check
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm

Something incredible happens around the dinner table. It is a place to nourish not only our tummies but also our souls!
