Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Isn't Christianity Based on Blind Faith?

January 20, 2014
Believers in Jesus Christ will tell you that they have checked the ice, stepped out in faith, and have found Him to be trustworthy. Biblical faith is based on historical evidence and eyewitness accounts.
Taken from Matthew 9:27, this is the 5th message in Pete's 9-message series Derailed by Doubt, which is centered on common questions that can knock someone's faith off track.

God cannot be measured, calibrated, cataloged, or experienced with the five senses. You can't touch Him, you can't see Him, and you can't hear Him. That's true of love, too, though, isn't it? You can't experience love with the five senses, but you know it's there because you've felt the effects of it. Just because we can't see or taste something doesn't mean it's not real. And the same is true of God.Based on Acts 17:16, this is the 4th message in Pete's 9-message series, Derailed by Doubt, which is centered on common questions that can knock someone's faith off track.

Can the Bible and science co-exist, or do you have to reject one and believe the other? God wrote the New Testament so that we might believe that Jesus was who He said He was, that He did what He said He did, and that He actually works in people's lives today. The Bible is designed to communicate God's loving plan for mankind. Based on Romans 1:20, this is the 3rd message in Pete's 9-message series, Derailed by Doubt, which is centered on common questions that can knock someone's faith off track.

The Bible is the true, inspired Word of God - living and active, timely and timeless, sacred and practical. The sad thing is many in our world and our neighborhoods don't see the Bible as God's infallible love letter to us. They have either been convinced it's unreliable, or they have never really thought about it long enough to make a decision.Based on 2 Timothy 3:16-17, this is the 2nd message in Pete's 9-message series, Derailed by Doubt, which is centered on common questions that can knock someone's faith off track.

On our journey toward faith, we come across questions that are critical in our understanding of God and His Word. The questions are legitimate, but we often don't know where to turn for the answers. In this message, Pete uses the stories of three people in the Bible to help us clarify the questions and find the proper source for the answers.Based on Luke 20:20, this is the 1st message in Pete's 9-message series, Derailed by Doubt, which is centered on common questions that can knock someone's faith off track.

Those of us who played organized sports in school may remember a time when the race or game was not going well, and we just wanted to give up.  For many of us, it was the shouts from the sidelines that kept us going. We could hear the coach shouting, "Keep going - you can do it!"  In the same way the coach keeps the team going, Christ keeps us going and guides us home.  We just have to learn to turn everything in our lives over to Him.  In this message, Jill explains how we can learn to let God "coach" us and find contentment in every circumstance. Based on Philippians 3 & 4, this is the 3rd message in Jill's 3-part series titled Spiritual Arts.

What people come to mind when thinking of those who have a servant attitude?  Missionaries?  Pastors?  Yourself?  Do you think that having a humble attitude is important?  The apostle Paul had a servant heart and attitude.  He continually gave himself away to benefit those around him.  As a result, he was able to bring many people to Christ.  We can impact those around us just as Paul did if we learn the spiritual art of humility. In this message, Jill explains how having a self-sacrificing attitude can impact others. Based on Philippians 2, this is the 2nd message in Jill's 3-part series titled Spiritual Arts.

What do you do when you are suffering through a hard time?  Many of us sulk, complain, and feel sorry for ourselves.  Others put on a strong face, but when they are alone, the fear and sadness take over, and they break down.  Much of the apostle Paul's life was spent suffering - most of the time in jail.  But unlike many of us, Paul was joyful no matter what his circumstance. This "spiritual art" of contentment was something Paul learned - and it wasn't easy.  In this message, Jill uses Paul's life as an example of  how we can learn contentment, joy, and peace of mind no matter what we are going through. Based on Philippians 1, this is the 1st message in Jill's 3-part series titled Spiritual Arts.
