The Joy of the Lord is your Strength
Nehemiah 8:10

Philippians 4:1-9

The point of this passage is the peace of God and the presence of the God of peace is a reachable goal.

Philippians 4:1-9 gives us six (6) steps to help us move toward the peace of God in our personal life.

1.    The 1st step to the peace of God is standing fast in the Lord.
        (vs. 1)
    In vs. 9 Paul says; stand fast in what you have learned,
    received, heard and seen in me.


2.    The 2nd step to peace is agreement and unity.  There is no
Peace if people are arguing, grumbling, criticizing or disputing.    (vs. 2 & 3)


3.    The 3rd step to peace is that of rejoicing in the Lord.   
        (vs. 4)


4.    The 4th step to peace is a strong gentleness.
        (vs. 5)


5.    The 5th step to peace is a strong prayer life.        (vs. 6 & 7)


6.    The 6th step to peace comes through focused, positive
    thinking.      (vs. 8 & 9)
