John 16v16-33

Jesus invites His disciples into the kind of peace and joy that cannot be taken away — the peace of His own Spirit living within them. This sermon explores the contrast between asserted belief and abiding truth, showing that true peace is not circumstantial but resident — grounded in the eternal victory of Christ who has already overcome the world. Through the disciples’ confusion, their fleeting confidence, and Jesus’ perfect calm, we see that every trouble comes to test our peace, but nothing can touch what is eternally secure in Him. To know the peace and joy of Christ is to have His Spirit — His Name — as our source, a reality that abides even in the midst of loss, misunderstanding, and worldly conflict.
