Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Old and Gray with Something to Say - Part 1

In biblical times the extended family structure, that included various generations, differed widely from the nuclear family we experience today. In our current culture we may be in danger of losing generational interaction. Psalm 71 can help us.

There are no guarantees that all will go smoothly in life or marriage because there are many forces intent on destroying our lives and relationships. But God promised us the resources we need to deal with life's eventualities and we have to decide which way we are going to go - or as Joshua said, which gods are we going to serve? (Joshua 24:15)

Given all the ink that has been spilled on the subject of marriage, it is remarkable that no less an authority than Jesus summarized the basic principles of the married life in two or three sentences! Everyone should be familiar with what He said and seek to apply it. (Mark 10:1-9)

Isn't it fun when a friend calls unexpectedly and asks you to do something special together? Often our response is to jump to our feet to go and meet up with them. This joyful "response to the call" is something God is looking for in us. In fact, the natural response of disciples of Jesus should be to jump to our feet and run toward His call. In this message, Pete explains the different ways we can respond to God's call and serve Him. This is the 9th message in Pete's 9-message series After I Say "Yes, Lord." Nehemiah 11

TV infomercials are known to make people feel like they've got to have whatever is being advertised. They make losing weight or making millions seem really easy, but most of the time these "fads" do not work. When we talk about transforming our spiritual life, we want a true life transformation, not a fad. In this message, Pete discusses three things that will guarantee failure in our spiritual lives - in hopes that we will learn these things and avoid them! This is the 8th message in Pete's 9-message series After I Say "Yes, Lord." Nehemiah 9 & 10

There are times in our lives when we feel like we're drowning in things to do - and our spiritual life suffers. We have so many balls to juggle that before we know it, we drop the one that involves our relationship with the Lord. It's during these times that we need a spiritual revival. In this message, Pete teaches us how to listen to God's Word so a revival can happen in our lives. This is the 7th message in Pete's 9-message series After I Say "Yes, Lord." Nehemiah 8

In life, there are leaders and there are followers. Many of us think that leaders are more important than followers, but leaders need followers just like followers need leaders. So everyone works together and everyone matters. Nehemiah, chapter 7, includes a list of people - both leaders and followers - who stepped out in faith to work for Christ. In this message, Pete discusses three things these people had in common and how we can be effective followers of Christ. This is the 6th message in Pete's 9-message series After I Say "Yes, Lord." Nehemiah 7

Sometimes when trying to assume a leadership role, criticism and opposition occur. And often, just when you think that you have overcome the opposition, it sneaks right back up on you. So how does someone take the personal attacks from the opposition and still be an effective leader? In this message, Pete discusses four specific ways we can be attacked and four ways to overcome it. This is the 5th message in Pete's 9-message series After I Say "Yes, Lord." Nehemiah 6

We tend to treat people commensurate with their social standing, don't we? If we perceive someone to be below us in social standing, we treat them differently than the people we perceive to be above us. It stinks, but it's the way we often do it. Even as believers, when we function in the flesh, we think of people according to the "pecking order" and treat them differently. This is not kingdom thinking. In this message, Pete looks at Nehemiah chapter 5 and discusses four ways we can treat people in order to glorify God. This is the 4th message in Pete's 9-message series After I Say "Yes, Lord." Nehemiah 5

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.
