Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Heart Cry - Part 2

December 29, 2015
Ever feel like something is missing, like you just don't belong? You probably feel that way because it is true! God created us for Himself and put eternity in our hearts - we were not made for here. So how do we make the most of this life where "everything is meaningless, a chasing after the wind" (as Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes) in a world which is not our home?

Based on Ecclesiastes 3:11, this is the first message in Jill's 2-message series, Heart Hunger.

Food, gifts, parties, songs, traditions, worship services, and Christmas movies are all things most of us take part in around Christmas time. With all of these things going on, we are often too full for anything else - especially Jesus. Though we don't make room for Jesus, He has created room for us in His kingdom. This Christmas message by Pete Briscoe explains how we can make room for Jesus in our lives to see a life-changing transformation take place within us. Luke 2:7

It's ironic that Christmastime seems to have less peace than any other time of the year despite the angels appearing in the sky to the shepherds after Jesus was born and proclaiming peace on earth. Jesus came to bring peace, yet stresses around the holiday tend to elevate everything we're struggling with, sending peace further and further out of our reach. So many of us know that peace is a path that's hard to find - so how do we find it? In this message, Pete takes us through Zechariah's song in Luke 1 and gives us hope that peace can be found, in any season of life.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." John 10:10 Jesus did not say, "Come to me and I'll fill your life full of stuff." He said, "I'll fill it full of Me. I'll fill it full of God, and then you will have life to the full." And that's what Christmas is all about. We often forget that as we get busy shopping, baking, decorating, wrapping, and attending parties. In this message, Jill challenges us to keep the focus on Christ and the significance of His birth this Christmas.

Do you seek Him wholeheartedly? The Wise Men were from the East, philosophers and astrologers in the employ of kings. Yet something in their study of the stars convinced them to travel far to seek the baby Jesus to worship as King of the Jews. In this message from Matthew 2, Stuart Briscoe helps us understand what may have motivated these men to embark on their search and challenges us to use them as inspiration not only for ourselves but in how we interact with the seekers of Jesus in our own lives. This is the final teaching in Stuart's 6-message series Coping with Christmas.

Are you trying to please God, others, or yourself? When Mary and Joseph took Jesus to the Temple to meet the ceremonial requirements of circumcision and purification, they met two fascinating characters, Simeon and Anna, who added considerably to their understanding of the significance of the baby. Simeon and Anna lived lives oriented and devoted to God alone, and as a result were led by the Holy Spirit to be in the right place at the right time to meet the baby Jesus. In this message from Luke 2:21-40, Stuart Briscoe introduces us to Simeon and Anna and encourages us to view them as examples of how to orient our lives regardless of our age. This is the 4th teaching in Stuart's 6-message series Coping with Christmas.

When God calls, do you respond? Imagine how the shepherds felt that night. Shepherds were considered untrustworthy nomads, living in the fields. On that night, these ostracized, low-life people were among the first to receive the news of Jesus' birth! And when they were suddenly surrounded by the glory of God, they responded with whole-hearted belief and spread the good news. In this message from Luke 2:8-20, Stuart Briscoe gives us the historical setting for the night of Jesus' birth and challenges us to look at the shepherds as examples of how to respond to the glory of God in our own lives. This is the 3rd teaching in Stuart's 6-message series Coping with Christmas.

Do you truly believe in Him or just look like you do? As a priest, Zechariah was very good at going through the religious motions - performing the right ritual at the right time. So when an angel came and told him that his prayers were being answered and he and his elderly wife would have a son, his response was one of questioning disbelief. When given an incredible answer to prayer, Zechariah had to decide if he really believed what he claimed to believe. In this message from Luke 1:5-25, Stuart Briscoe helps us understand what motivated Zechariah's actions and encourages us to turn the struggle to believe into a song of praise. This is the 2nd teaching in Stuart's 6-message series Coping with Christmas.
