God's Word.
I'm so glad you're here thisweek.
We're focusing on the beautifuland powerful theme of peace
Scripture readings John fourteentwenty seven Peace I leave with
you, my peace I give to you.
(00:24):
Not as the world gives do I giveto you.
Let not your hearts be troubled,neither let them be afraid.
Philippians four seven and thepeace of God which surpasses all
understanding will guard yourhearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.
Reflection When Jesus spoke tohis disciples in John fourteen,
(00:49):
he was preparing them for hisdeparture.
Imagine their fear anduncertainty, and yet he offers
them peace.
Not just any peace, but hispeace, a peace that isn't
fleeting or shallow like theworld's, but deep and enduring.
And then Paul, writing fromprison, assures us that God's
(01:11):
peace will guard us, our heartsand our minds.
It's a peace that doesn't alwaysmake logical sense, but it
brings calm in the midst ofchaos.
Today, ask yourself, where inyour life do you need this kind
of peace?
Is it in your home, yourrelationships, your own mind?
(01:32):
Biblical example.
One powerful example of peace inthe Bible is the story of Jesus
calming the storm in Mark 4, 35to 41.
As the disciples panicked duringa fierce storm, Jesus slept.
When they woke him, he simplysaid, Peace, be still.
(01:53):
And the storm ceased.
His command over the wind andwaves revealed the deep
authority of his peace.
A peace that is available to useven in life's tempests.

peaceful protests across thecountry.
Her story reminds us that peaceisn't passive, it can be a
powerful force for justice andchange.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
