2. Media Presentation: The Word on Peace

It was the first word Jesus spoke to His disciples after His resurrection. It was a word Paul used in the greeting of every letter He wrote. Peace. Use this presentation, which contains Jesus' first resurrected words and other Scripture about God's peace, to open yourself to the peace that Jesus' resurrection can bring.

3. TRY THIS: A Primer on Peace

Use this exercise as a devotional moment or a full-on, small-group study to explore how the peace from Jesus' resurrection can impact our daily lives.
