The Three Points of Peace

1. Heart (Emotions) = UP / Phil. 4:4-7

• Praise God with Joy
• Leads to Peace with Others 
• Pray to God with Thanksgiving
• Leads to God’s Peace within You

2. Head (Thoughts) = IN / Phil. 4:8

• What dominates your thinking?
• Soundtracks - Thoughts that “play on repeat” in our minds; and impact our mood, relationships, and actions
• Is it true?
• Is it kind?
• Is it helpful?

3. Hands (Actions) = OUT / Phil. 4:9

Jesus, Our Peace
