Reflect this week
1. What steals your peace most often — and what would “choosing the better part” look like?
2. Which song or psalm calms your heart? Keep it close this week.
3. Where can you build ten minutes of stillness into each day?
The Peace of His Presence
January 24, 2026 — Pastor Grace Adeyemi
Finding rest in worship
Jesus promised a peace the world cannot give and cannot take. This message explores how worship reorders our worries — through Mary’s choice at His feet, Paul’s prison songs and practical rhythms of rest for anxious hearts.
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.” — John 14:27
Choose the Better Part
Martha was busy with good things; Mary chose the best thing — presence. Peace begins with what we prioritize.
Sing in the Prison
Paul and Silas sang at midnight — and chains broke. Worship is warfare that turns cells into sanctuaries.
Practice Stillness
Ten quiet minutes with one psalm can do what ten worried hours cannot. Build rest into your rhythm.
