Encounter Life Series | Episode 7
In this episode, Pastor Kurt explores the Christian concept of peace, contrasting the common secular definition with the spiritual peace promised in the Bible.
- Secular Peace (or "Oxford Peace"): Defined as merely the absence of conflict or disturbance. This peace is temporary, fragile, and dependent on external circumstances.
- Biblical Peace (or "Jesus Peace"): A profound, internal calm and resilience that endures even in the midst of struggle, chaos, and pressure. It is a permanent gift from God, not a pause in conflict, but a sustaining power through it.
Pastor Kurt reinterprets the well-known verse, Philippians 4:7, which states that the "peace of God... surpasses all understanding." Take a listen to this episode of Encounter life!
