Saving Grace

Jill Briscoe Why is a walk in a garden so relaxing? Because we were created to live in God’s garden of perfection, forever. Unfortunately, as the story goes, Adam and Eve made a fatal error and were forced to make their home in the garden of sin instead, where nothing is perfect or peaceful. But remember, this is God’s story! God came looking for Adam and Eve after they disobeyed. And in His grace, He still comes looking for us today. Jill Briscoe takes us through biblical examples of God’s saving grace and how He offers us a way to His riches through Christ.

Be Ready to Commit, Part 2

Stuart Briscoe The word "commitment" is not high on many people's preference list nowadays. Have you noticed? Commitment asks a lot from usit asks that we rely on people and not just ourselves, it asks that we live in terms of relationships. Commitment involves duty and obligation, and it requires us to trust others. Not many of us want to be committed to other people. But what about commitment to Christ? If you want to "get a life," you have to be committed for time and eternity to God. The good news is, He's has already utterly committed Himself to you.

Get to Know Yourself

Stuart Briscoe What does "life to the full," as Jesus promised, look like? And how do we get it? In this message, Stuart begins his series Six Ways to Get a Life by describing the first step: getting to know ourselves. If we're going to get a life, we've got to know ourselves well enough to be able to identify the "sheepishness" in our humanity and our need for a relationship with the Good Shepherd.

Seeing Through Suffering

Time and time again, Jill Briscoe has met and ministered to suffering people. Many of them have experienced trials we cannot even comprehend. In this stirring message on the trials of Job, Jill shares what she has learned from the examples of those who responded rightly to suffering. Jill shares her own struggles with waiting through difficult situations and overcoming the temptation to think that if God doesn't answer prayers the way we want, God isn't good. Jill shows us how we can learn to say, like Job, "I will accept it, as from a good God," and allow our situation to increase our faith and dependence on our Redeemer.

The Empty Tomb, Part 2

After Jesus was crucified, the women who supported Him were traumatized, the apostles who followed Him were terrified, and it seemed as if the incarnational project He undertook was totaled. Most of the apostles were originally resurrection skepticsand so are many people today. Peter was willing to explore the message the women brought. And he eventually came to a life-changing conclusion. Everything turned around with the discovery of an empty tomb!

What Really Happened on the Cross

When Jesus cried out in agony from the cross, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?, it was much more than an expression of the horrifying physical pain of His execution. At that moment, Christ’s spiritual separation from God as He took on humanity’s sins and paid the death penalty for themthe first and only time he ever was separated from the Fatherwas beyond excruciating. Stuart Briscoe explains exactly what happened on the cross that day, and he describes the amazing love that motivated such a profound sacrifice.

The People and the Book, Part 2

Stuart Briscoe Reading about the Israelites in the Old Testament can make us feel pretty superior. After all, these people, so cherished by God, often got it wrong. God repeatedly blessed them, and in turn, they repeatedly abandoned God for things that seemed better and more appealing. They forgot His Word and His promises. Uncomfortable yet? Does this sound familiar? Our world looks pretty much the same way today! There’s a famine of hearing and knowing God’s Word, both in and outside our churches. Something is missing spiritually, and it affects every other facet of our lives. In this riveting message by Stuart, he explains what we need to do, and what will lead to true life transformation.
