About this episode

Graham Cooke discusses the power of peace in the midst of conflict and the transformative reality of living with the Prince of Peace.

What if the most powerful thing you could do in the middle of conflict is simply be at peace? Graham Cooke closes out this opening session with a vision of the overcoming life that most of us haven't considered — that rest, joy, and astonishment at who God is are more powerful than any exercise of authority. The Prince of Peace walked in one day and never left. What changes when we live from that reality? Key Scriptures: + Matthew 16:18. "On this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." + Matthew 16:19. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven." + Philippians 4:7. "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." + Romans 8:37. "In all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
