The Teacher

Aug 31, 2025    Brent Manning

In John 14, we encounter Jesus' profound promise of peace and the gift of the Holy Spirit. This message reminds us that even in times of uncertainty and anxiety, we have access to divine instruction and unshakeable peace. The Holy Spirit, our divine teacher, illuminates Scripture and brings God's word to our remembrance when we need it most. We're encouraged to submit ourselves to the Spirit's guidance, trusting that He will provide wisdom, counsel, and understanding in every situation. This submission leads us to experience the peace of Christ – a peace that surpasses all understanding and guards our hearts and minds. As we face life's storms, we're reminded of Jesus sleeping peacefully on the boat, demonstrating the calm that comes from complete trust in God. This peace is available to us, not as the world gives, but as a gift from Christ Himself.
