In today's society, we feel the need to pack as many things into the day as possible. Restful activities are a thing of the past. Conversation has been replaced by TV. Naps are for lazy people. Walks in the park take too long. But, did you know that God wants us to rest? In fact, rest is a gift from God. This message by Pete, explains how we can learn to say "No" to things, so that we can say "Yes" to rest.

Pete Briscoe Everyone knows there are laws to follow when driving a car...no speeding, no tailgating, no running red lights. Have you ever disobeyed those rules and gotten caught? If so, maybe you remember feeling angry, embarrassed, or guilty about it. Many of us feel the same way when we sin by not following God's laws. In this message, Pete dives into the book of Galatians to help us understand how Christ freed us from the bondage of sin.

Stuart Briscoe We have learned how to send people to the moon - and get them back again. But we have not succeeded in solving many of the pressing problems on earth. Many despair that we ever will. So the news that God visited our planet to put matters right is exciting. Or is it?

Stuart Briscoe For centuries, the prophets had promised and predicted the Incarnation. John the Baptist was the last in this distinguished line and he was an unerring pointer to Christ and His ministry. He "came as a witness" (v.7) to prepare the people to welcome the Visitor.

"The Word became flesh" is the way the Bible describes the most stupendous visitation of planet earth from outer space. The identity of the Word, the reasons for His visitation, and its contemporary relevance should be considered carefully.

Stuart Briscoe At the first Thanksgiving, there was no turkey; there were no Indians. There was no cranberry sauce; there were no pumpkins. There was no football; there were no family reunions. There was just a group of people who were grateful that they finally arrived! And that was "Thanksgiving Without the Trimmings."

About Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Jill Briscoe was born in England and found Christ when she was 18 years old. She never looked back. Upon graduating from Cambridge University, she began working as a teacher by day and had a vigorous street ministry to the youths of Liverpool by night.

She met Stuart at a youth conference and they married in 1958. In the 50 years since, Jill has become a highly sought-after Bible teacher and author who travels around the world ministering to under-resourced churches and speaking at international seminars and conferences. Since 2000, she and Stuart, who was formerly senior pastor of Elmbrook Church for 30 years, have had the joy of equipping and encouraging believers across the globe in their roles as ministers-at-large for Elmbrook.

Jill has authored more than 40 books including devotionals, study guides, poetry and children's books. Her vivid, relational teaching style touches the emotions and stirs the heart. She serves as Executive Editor of Just Between Us, a magazine of encouragement for ministry wives and women in leadership, and served on the board of World Relief and Christianity Today, Inc., for over 20 years.

Jill and Stuart call suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin their home. When they are not traveling, they spend time with their three children, David, Judy and Peter, and thirteen grandchildren.
