Find Peace by Trusting Jesus Instead of What Fails

  • Everyone wants lasting peace, but possessions, pleasure, health, politics, people, and self-reliance all eventually prove unable to carry ultimate trust.
  • Disappointment becomes an invitation to stop trusting what cannot last and to recognize that false sources of security cannot give true peace.
  • Jesus alone is trustworthy because his teaching reveals wisdom, his miracles reveal power, his cross reveals love, and his resurrection reveals authority.

We all want to find something we can truly trust. So why do we settle for things we know we can’t really trust? This video based on Daniel McCoy’s Mirage: 5 Things People Want from God That Don’t Exist examines the desire that people have to find peace through trusting things they can’t actually trust. The other videos in this series include the Introduction, Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 5.
