I. ETERNAL STILL WATERS
“Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Rom.5:1

II. INTERNAL STILL WATERS
“I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation. But take heart, I have overcome the world.” Jn.16:33
Turn to Phil.4:6-7 (p.982)

How can we pursue peace with others?
