Jesus promises such peace.<\/p><p>\u201c<strong><em><b><i>Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>\u201d (John 14:27)<\/p><p>Some people come to believe in Jesus to receive health and wealth. They think that once they believe in Jesus, they will have no problems in life. But this is not always the case. Jesus tells us that Christians will meet with tribulations. We will still experience ill health, accidents, and job loss. The peace that Jesus gives us is not about leading a smooth-sailing life. Rather, it is about having Jesus as our help and reliance during these inevitable storms. This is true peace because it is not dependent on our external situation. No matter how much our circumstances change, the peace Jesus gives us will not change. Even in the most painful situation, we know that He abides with us.<\/p><p>\u201c<strong><em><b><i>Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, got into the boat, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was already dark, and Jesus had not come to them. Then the sea arose because a great wind was blowing. So when they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and drawing near the boat; and they were afraid. But He said to them, \u201cIt is I; do not be afraid.\u201d Then they willingly received Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land where they were going.<\/i><\/b><\/em><\/strong>\u201d\u00a0(John 6:16\u201321)<\/p><p>One night, Jesus\u2019 disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee by boat. Making the crossing in the dark was not out of the ordinary for them, as most of them were fishermen accustomed to rowing in most conditions. They were not concerned because they were experienced. But then a great storm arose. The disciples persevered until they saw Jesus walking on the sea. The disciples were comforted by Jesus\u2019 presence, and their fear ceased. When Jesus came aboard the boat, it was miraculously transported to its destination.<\/p><p>Were the disciples able to manage the situation? Technically, yes. In difficult times, we can often grit our teeth and endure the situation through sheer force of will. But how long would we be able to hold on, and how much pain would we suffer by relying on our own strength?<\/p><p>We may work hard, but this does not guarantee a reward. We may seek solutions to our problems, but this does not guarantee peace. Only when we welcome Jesus onto our boat and rely on Him to abide with us through the storms of life can we receive true peace. Our situation may not change, and the problem we are grappling with still exists, but having peace in our hearts changes everything. The winds may howl, and the storms still buffet us, but Jesus will carry us to the other side.<\/p><p>Believing in Jesus does not mean we will never meet with accidents or difficulties. But it does mean that, no matter what we encounter, we know our God in heaven is with us. This is the true peace that those who believe in God pursue. Even in tribulation, we have peace from above. We may suffer stress, worries, and disappointments, but we will not lose hope because we have an anchor in the Solid Rock. No matter how stormy the weather, our boat will not be blown off course. If such peace abides with us daily, an abundant life will surely follow.<\/p><p>We warmly welcome everyone to join our Spring 2025 Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation (ESSC), 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 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, April 18-19, 2025 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, April 20, 2025 9:00AM to 1:00PM<\/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-5b7bd11e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"5b7bd11e\" 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-b467e91\" data-id=\"b467e91\" 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-711d0632 elementor-button-success elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"711d0632\" 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>Finding True Peace in Jesus To have a truly happy and abundant life, we must find true peace\u2014one that endures even if our lives are suddenly and completely upended.
