Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

God is Still God and Firmly in Control

July 9, 2010
In Peter's time, some people wished to live without God so they rationalized Him into irrelevance. Others, thinking He had disappeared from the scene, sought life without Him. The same mistakes are being made today. But He is still God and firmly in control.
References: 2 Peter 3:1-13

There were many false teachers in these days, and one of the things they were saying is that there's no need to worry about a final judgment. But that's just wrong! If we believe there's no final judgment, then it really doesn't matter what we do. If it doesn't matter what we do, then we can spend our life raising "hell." We can just go out and have a wild time! We can do everything that our lower nature longs to do - no restraints, no limits, no consequences, and no accountability. That's just not true, as Peter points out in this passage, II Peter 2:1-9. This is the third message in Stuart Briscoe's series, "Six Things We Must Never Forget."

In Peter's day, the Old Testament Scriptures and the apostles' teachings were being twisted, fundamental truths ridiculed, and biblical morality repudiated. So he reminded the people of the significance of God's Word. We need the reminder, too, for we live in similar days.

Human history is all about oppression and liberation, tyranny and emancipation. It is also about the abuse of freedom and confusion about liberty. Peter addressed the issue, talking about being "slaves of depravity" and "a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him."

In the epistle he wrote shortly before his death, the Apostle Peter strongly emphasized the important things in life they must not forget. We need to remember not to forget them, too.

Have you ever heard it said, "You can choose your friends, but not your family"? This is also true of your church family - you're stuck with them. If you're going to "live" together with fellow believers, then everyone is going to need to "give" a little. In this message, Pete shares with us four major areas where we all can give, so we can live together in God's unity and love. From Romans 12:16, this is the 3rd message in Pete Briscoe's 7-message series titled "Love One Another."

Most of us do not understand the magnitude and depth of God's love for us. It's this same kind of love God has for us that He wants us to share with others. But how are we supposed to share it if we can't grasp its full meaning? In this message, Pete explains how we can know the love of Christ. From Ephesians 3:17, this is the 2nd message in Pete Briscoe's 7-message series titled "Love One Another."

Jesus' love is a unique and amazing love that He would like us to have and share with others. He tells us that if we show this special kind of love, people will be convinced that we are disciples' of Christ. In this message, Pete uses the story of the man with leprosy to demonstrate how Jesus' love is distinct in three different ways so we can impact others with His love. From John 13:34, this is the first message in Pete Briscoe's 7-message series titled "Love One Another."
June 28, 2010
God came in Christ to offer us forgiveness through the cross. He rose again the third day and set about bringing the world back home. "Talk to me," says the Father. "Prayer is the means; I have made a way." But there is a problem - we don't know how.
