Hannah - Broken Dreams - Part 1

December 1, 2014
Ever have those prayers that God doesn't seem to be answering? We all have dreams and longings - sometimes they go unfulfilled. We wonder, "Where is God in my pain? Does He even hear me?" In this message, Jill uses the example of Hannah and her desire for a child to teach us that God does indeed hear us.

Taken from I Samuel 1-3, this is the first teaching in Jill Briscoe's 6-message series, Running on Empty.

Years ago, Mortimer Adler wrote a book titled How to Read a Book. It sounded elementary, but it proved to be absolutely necessary. It's highly likely that knowing how to listen to a sermon may be equally elementary and necessary in understanding and applying what is taught to everyday life. Based on James 1:16-27, this is the final message in Stuart Briscoe's series, God of Wonder, God of Worship.

Worship is a response to God's self-revelation. Prayer, which is either a spoken or unuttered response to Him, is therefore a premier aspect of worship. Whether in the congregation or alone, Jesus taught us we should pray and pray continually. Based on Luke 11:1-13, this is the second message in Stuart Briscoe's series, God of Wonder, God of Worship.

"Don't put your head on the pillow at night if you hadn't had your nose in the Book during the day." - Stuart Briscoe In addition to recognizing the significance of congregational worship, it's important for believers to develop the practice of personal daily devotions. Based on Psalm 19, this is the first message in Stuart Briscoe's series, God of Wonder, God of Worship.

Have you ever lost a loved one? It is an incredibly painful experience. However, those of us who are believers in Christ have hope. Pete uses 1 Thessalonians 4 to explain that we will get to see our loved ones again. When the Lord returns, the dead will rise first, and then we will be caught up in the air with them. The Apostle Paul wrote this as a word of encouragement to those who may be grieving aloss. This is the final message in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, "Live Like You Mean It."

Do you have trouble finding a church you feel is the right fit for you? If so, Pete suggests that we need a paradigm shift in our thinking of the church. The church was not meant to be a place where we come to get our needs met. Instead, we should realize that we ourselves are the church. Romans 12 explains that God made each one of us with unique gifts, and each one of these gifts is needed to make the church function as God intended it to. If one part is lacking, the church can survive for a time but will put too much strain on the rest and become weak again. This is the 5th message in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, "Live Like You Mean It."

The world is full of distractions that will take us places we never intended to go, and Satan is lurking around the corner trying to deceive us with false beliefs. One of those beliefs has been the concept that Jesus, in addition to religious philosophy, traditions, and principles, is what grants us salvation. Pete Briscoe uses Colossians 2 to shine some light on the truth that Christ alone has made it possible for us to be cleansed and seen blameless in God's sight. Based on Colossians 2:8, this is the 4th message in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, "Live Like You Mean It."

Do you want deep, authentic relationships with the people in your life? Perhaps there is a paradigm shift that needs to happen in your thinking. The world tells us to make a name for ourselves and to do it at whatever the cost. The problem with this comes when we step on others to get there, which damages relationships. In Philippians 2, Paul calls us to think counter-culturally: View others as more important than yourself. Jesus was the ultimate example of this when He left His most high position to become the lowest as an act of perfect love. This is the 3rd message in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, "Live Like You Mean It."
November 19, 2014
Is there someone in your life who has deeply hurt you? We can come up with a list of excuses as to why we cannot or will not forgive that person, but the reality is that unforgiveness in our hearts is only hurting us. That pain will leak into other areas of our lives, and we will end up hurting loved ones in the process. Paul teaches in the book of Philemon on why we should reconcile with each other and how we can go about doing it so that we have a better understanding of everything good we have in Christ, which leads to a fuller experience. This is the 2nd message in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, "Live Like You Mean It."

On earth, we are guaranteed to be worn out, discouraged, and deal with sickness However, God wants to encourage us because our story, in Him, does not end in despair. By calling on Him, we have the authority to overcome the tough times in life, and see that Christ brings new life to situations that seem hopeless. Pete teaches from Paul's letter in 2 Corinthians 4 to bring encouragement to believers and remind them where their strength comes from. This is the 1st message in Pete Briscoe's 6-message series, "Live Like You Mean It."
