Stuart and Jill Briscoe

The Crux, Part 2

April 17, 2014
The cross is a popular symbol - we see it on jewelry or as decorative detail on accessories. In amongst these everyday appearances, it's easy to forget the incredible, important work accomplished through Jesus' death on the cross. In this message, Pete explains what the cross of Christ meant and what impact it had on all of us.

Based on John 19:16-42, this is the 19th message in Pete Briscoe's 21-message series Up Close and Personal.

References: John 19:16-42

While Jesus' death and resurrection illustrate what God has done for us, the Easter story also shows us how we can respond to this great gift. That response is found in the devotion of the women who followed Jesus through the crucifixion and then sought to honor Him at the tomb. In this message, Jill Briscoe describes the bravery of the women in Jesus' life – and the dignity He had ascribed to them as He taught us all how to live. Matthew 28:1-10

After Pentecost Peter might have assumed that he had "arrived" spiritually. But he discovered that the growth of a soul is not complete this side of eternity. Like Peter, we too need to embrace the opportunities for growth that life affords. This is the final message in Stuart Briscoe's series, Growth of a Soul, and it's centered on Acts 10:1-48.

Knowing Peter as He did, Jesus predicted that under pressure he would disown the Lord. Peter insisted he knew better, but when the heat was on he failed miserably.
