The Burning Heart

May 24, 2010
The circumstances of life are so often outside our control that we do not know how to cope. This can lead to anxiety, resentment and anger. If we do not handle these heartfelt feelings well we may suffer the worst kind of heartburn!

"Fear is not only a human response we all share as human beings, but an essential one that needs recognizing, accepting, and managing. Effectively managed fear ceases to control our actions. But if unacknowledged, fear takes control, and we find ourselves caught up in varying degrees of destructive behavior."

Heart attitudes that attempt to resist or negate God are at the root of behavioral problems that beset human existence. God reaches the hearts of His creatures and calls these attitudes "folly." But there is salvation for such people and the believer's concern is to see the good news spreading to those most in need of it.

The Psalmist had been experiencing extreme difficulties for a long time. His emotional and spiritual resources were running low. He expressed his concerns to the LORD, but his faith held fast. And he learned from his times of trouble.

Life was not easy for the Psalmist. He spoke openly about its disappointments, but he knew what to do with them. And while the causes of the anguish did not go away, he was able to experience such joy and peace that he even began to sleep well at night! How did he do it?

How do you feel about worship? Maybe you should ask yourself this question: Do you go to church to worship, or do you come to church worshipping? The latter should be what we strive to do. In this message, Pete explains three biblical principles about worship that will help us deepen and strengthen our worship of Christ. This is the 5th message in Pete's series "Settling for More" and is based on John 9:35-38 and Matthew 14:22-33.

Have you noticed society seems to define people by what they do for a living? Even though followers of Christ know this shouldn't be the case, we can fall into this and other wrong attitudes about our work. Using Scripture as his guide, Pete Briscoe examines what our true motivation for work should be and what attitudes can hurt or help us in being who God wants us to be. This is the 4th message in Pete's series "Settling for More" and is based on Colossians 1:25.

Prayer is simply a conversation with Jesus. What's important is the content of that conversation. In the book of Ephesians, the apostle Paul talked about prayer and gave three things that we should pray for concerning our devotional life. In this message, Pete shows us how we can apply those to our lives in hopes of experiencing a more abundant prayer life. This is the 3rd message in Pete's series "Settling for More" and is based on Ephesians 3:14-21.

Many people would say that the relationship they have with their spouse, sibling, or best friend is something that is very special and important to them. Some may even say that their relationships "fulfill" them. But that was not God's intent. God wanted relationships to enhance our lives, not fulfill them. In this message, Pete looks at the relationships in Jesus' life so that we can follow His example and make the right decisions concerning our relationships. This is the 2nd message in Pete's series "Settling for More" and is based on Mark 3:13.

Do you ever feel burnt out in your Christian walk? Maybe you've done all the "right" things. You've read the Bible every day and you've volunteered at church events, but you still feel like there just has to be more. What's missing? In this message, Pete explains the dramatic difference it can make in your life when you choose to make Christ your everything instead of just your helper. This is the 1st message in Pete's series "Settling for More" and is based on Galatians 2:20.

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. This is the third message in Jill's 3-part series on the Book of Philippians titled "Spiritual Arts."
