Session 3: Pursuing Peace in Marriage (Philippians 4:4–9) In this final session of our Marriage Conference series, we turn to Philippians 4:4–9 and explore what it means to pursue peace in marriage. We’ve seen how humility lays the foundation (Phil. 2:1–8) and unity grows when we put away grumbling and disputing (Phil. 2:14–16). Now Paul shows us the fruit of that process: peace. But peace doesn’t just happen—it must be pursued. Drawing from Paul’s words, written from a prison cell, we’ll discover that peace isn’t about circumstances going smoothly at home, but about letting Christ rule in our hearts and marriages. Together, we’ll look at five calls for every couple: The call to rejoice in the Lord, even when circumstances disappoint. The call to reasonableness, cultivating gentleness instead of harshness. The call to prayer, turning anxiety into dependence on God. The call to renew our minds, focusing on what is true, pure, and commendable. The call to practice daily habits of peace, knowing the God of peace Himself will be with us. This session will help you see how peace flows from the gospel: forgiven people forgive, reconciled people reconcile, loved people love. And as you actively pursue peace together, your marriage becomes a living testimony that Christ Himself is present in your home.
