Sermon: The Steps To Inner Peace
Text: James 4:7 – 10
Thesis: God Is The Author Of True Peace.

I. The First Step Is To Submit.
A. Submission is not weakness.
B. Submission is a conscious choice.

II. The Second Step Is To Resist.
A. The first part is to put up a good defense.
B. The second is to go on the offense.

III. The third Step Is To “Come Near To God.”
A. Approach God regularly.
B. God respond accordingly.

IV. The Fourth Step Is “Purify” Our Hearts.
A. Godly people must cleanse our hearts.
B. And then we cleanse our actions.

V. The Fifth Step Is To “Humble” Ourselves.
A. Humility has gotten a bad rap.
B. Wait for God to lift you up.

Conclusion: These five verbs and these four verses represent the five steps needed to have the peace God wants us to have. To have this we must make choices, often hard and dedicated choices. Be closer to God and further from Satan and his lies and enticements. Then we can have peace as we maintain the choices we’ve made. I pray we all will be strong enough to do so.
