The Peace In The Chaos

Video Illustration

Produced by Freebridge Media

Life is busy. Things can get intense from time to time. Our attention is captured by current events or brief moments that distract from what’s important. As we walk this path, our focus shifts, our gaze begins to wander and life itself.., gets a bit blurry. That’s what chaos does. It diverts our eyes from looking at Jesus. It steals our gaze and distorts our view. But this is not how God intended us to live, for He is the peace in the chaos, the calm in the storm, the anchor in the rising sea. When we keep our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, we can walk through anything this life has to offer.

I Am God

Video Illustration

We want to hear the voice of God, but we don't realize that often God speaks to us through SILENCE. If you want to hear the still small voice of God, you need to be still. When God speaks to us there is peace—SO TRUE. Create space for God in the silence of your heart and the contemplation of your mind. This video helps highlight the power of silence and focus on the one true God by contrasting it with the noise our daily lives are filled with.
