Champions Of Christ Church Community Group
This is a church, but online! Most people view a church as the building you go to for worship. NOT TRUE. In the beginning, it was a community that shared things. This is a church.

The Rest We Have in God
by Joyce Meyer - posted April 25, 2015
Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. [I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.] Matthew 11:28
It's easy to have peace when there's nothing to be upset about. Even unbelievers have peace during easy times. But rest found in God is the gift that keeps believers peaceful during times of trouble. It is a gift from Him to His children.
Jesus said, Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you (John 14:27). His peace is a spiritual peace, and His rest is one that operates in the midst of a storm—not in the absence of a storm. Jesus did not come to remove all opposition from our lives, but rather to empower us to go through times of opposition peacefully.
Power Thought: I can rest in God and keep my peace no matter what is going on in my life.
