In today\u2019s society, the pursuit of peace is widespread. Some turn to idol worship, while others rely on their own efforts. Yet, the result is often the opposite\u2014true peace remains elusive, suffering does not cease, and neither the body nor the soul finds rest.<\/p><p>In fact, the Bible has already told us: &#8220;<strong><em><b><i>In the world you will have tribulation.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>&#8221; (John 16:33, NKJV) Suffering is inevitable in this life. As the saying goes, \u201cNine out of ten things in life do not go as planned.\u201d However, Jesus also assures us that in Him, we may have peace.<\/p><p>Many members of the church have come to believe in Jesus after experiencing God\u2019s healing. Yet, even among those who have been baptized, some still struggle with spiritual weakness. Through my personal journey of reading the Bible, I have gradually come to understand that &#8220;enjoying peace in Christ&#8221;\u2014especially the peace of the soul\u2014is something that must be learned. How, then, can we enjoy peace in Christ? Here are four key points:<\/p><ol><li>Have Faith and Fully Entrust Yourself to God<\/li><\/ol><p>When we encounter trials or tribulations, we must trust that God will lead us through them. We must also recognize that any trial given by God is one we are able to endure. Just like Abraham, the greater our faith in God\u2014without any doubt\u2014 the more we will experience true peace in our hearts, even amidst suffering and trials.<\/p><ol start=\"2\"><li>Fear God and Be Content<\/li><\/ol><p>Perhaps we are ordinary people without wealth, power, or fame. But as long as we fear God and do what is right in His eyes, even a simple life will be filled with His abundant grace and inner peace. We will then be able to genuinely praise God for His love and care.<\/p><ol start=\"3\"><li>Obey God&#8217;s Word in Everything<\/li><\/ol><p>The Israelites repeatedly disobeyed God, and as a result, He allowed their enemies to oppress them. Yet, because of His great love, whenever they cried out to Him, He raised up judges to deliver them.<\/p><p>&#8220;<strong><em><b><i>Only if you carefully obey the voice of the Lord your God, to observe with care all these commandments which I command you today, the Lord your God will bless you just as He promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>&#8221; (Deuteronomy 15:5-6, NKJV)<\/p><ol start=\"4\"><li>Do Good Daily<\/li><\/ol><p>&#8220;<strong><em><b><i>Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>&#8221; (1 Timothy 1:5, NKJV)<\/p><p>It is more blessed to give than to receive. The Bible teaches us to love one another, and doing good daily is an expression of putting God\u2019s Word into practice. The peace that God grants through such actions is one that never ceases.\u00a0&#8220;<strong><em><b><i>Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>&#8221; (Proverbs 3:17, NKJV).<\/p><p>&#8220;<strong><em><b><i>But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>&#8221; (Colossians 3:14-15, NKJV). As Christians, we are incredibly blessed. It is only by God\u2019s grace and calling that we have the opportunity to learn, experience, and enjoy the peace found in the Lord. For those who have not yet believed, perhaps they are still lingering outside the door. But as long as they are willing to step inside and come to know the one true God, Jesus Christ, they will find themselves not far from true peace.<\/p><p>If we learn to entrust everything to God and do what pleases Him, we will gradually come to realize just how beautiful the peace in the Lord truly is.<\/p><p>We warmly welcome everyone to join our Spring Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation, to listen to God\u2019s teachings with us and to experience the peace and joy that come from Him.\u00a0<\/p><p>Thursday, April 17, 2025 6:50 PM to 8:10 PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, April 18-19, 2025 9:00 AM to 8:10 PM<br \/>Sunday, April 20, 2025 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM<\/p><p>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p><p>Please find our church location below:<\/p><p><strong>True Jesus Church<br \/>4N550 Church Road<br \/>Bensenville,\u00a0IL\u00a060106<br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\"><strong>Google Maps<\/strong><\/a><\/p><p>In the meantime, please feel free to join us for our regular Sabbath (Friday evening and Saturday)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">services online<\/a>\u00a0or in-person.<\/p><p>Friday Evening Service:\u00a0 7:50PM \u2013 9:00PM<\/p><p>Saturday Morning Service:\u00a0 10:50AM \u2013 12:00Noon<\/p><p>Saturday Afternoon Service:\u00a0 1:30PM \u2013 2:40PM<\/p><p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1a83c3a2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1a83c3a2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-64811a52\" data-id=\"64811a52\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-125b4b81 elementor-button-success elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"125b4b81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/2025-spring-essc-peacelove-3\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Back to Landing Page<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning to Enjoy Peace in Christ The peace that people seek in this world often revolves around their desires coming true\u2014success in their careers, good health, financial prosperity, a happy marriage, and obedient children.
