The Two Sides of Danger

March 8, 2010
Pete Briscoe
Our culture loves instant gratification. The sooner we can get what we want, the better. As a result, many people find themselves with a lot of financial debt. Although debt may seem harmless, the Bible says it can have dangerous consequences. In this message, Pete Briscoe explains how debt can be dangerous, how to avoid debt, and what to do if you're in debt. This is the 6th message in Pete's series "A Two-Sided Coin" and is based on II Kings 4:1-7.
References: 2 Kings 4:1-7

Pete Briscoe "I want more." This statement sums up what today's culture is all about. The "more" mindset can take over people so that all they think about is how to become wealthy and acquire more things. In this message, Pete dives into I Timothy 6 to teach us about what happens when we desire money and how we can find the secret to contentment. This is the 5th message in Pete's series "A Two-Sided Coin" and is based on I Timothy 6:6-10 & Hebrews 13:5-6.

Pete Briscoe Most of us can remember how excited we were to get our driver's license. For many of us, the sense of freedom we felt immediately diminished when we realized that our parents had strict rules and boundaries for our driving. But the more we drove safely and without incident, the more freedom our parents gave us. Our parents were testing us. God is also testing us. He is testing our faithfulness. In this message, Pete explains how God tests our faith and how, by responding well, we can receive true riches. This is the 4th message in Pete's series "A Two-Sided Coin" and is based on Matthew 25:14-23.

Pete Briscoe It's not uncommon for young children to have problems with sharing. The word "mine" quickly becomes a favorite in their vocabulary. It's their nature to be self-centered. And it's the nature of adults, too. We have a tendency to think about ourselves and our wants more than we think of God and His desires for us. In this message, Pete explains what amazing things can happen in our lives if we focus on being generous. This is the 3rd message in Pete's series "A Two-Sided Coin" and is based on Luke 12:13-21.

Pete Briscoe Buying a home is a big deal. So much time and money is spent saving, searching, and moving. So, when it's finally over, people are proud to say they are homeowners. The same sense of pride for ownership can be said of many other things. But Scripture tells us that we don't own anything at all. In fact, everything we have belongs to God. Using the story of Zacchaeus as an example, Pete explains how we can surrender our material possessions to let God lead our lives. This is the 2nd message in Pete's series "A Two-Sided Coin" and is based on Luke 19:1-10 & Luke 18:18-25.

Pete Briscoe There are two sides of influence for every topic: culture and scripture. Take personal finances for instance. Our culture tells us that the way we handle our hard-earned money is up to us and no one else. However, Scripture tells us that God has boundaries for us in terms of how we handle our finances. But which one do we follow? In this message, Pete explains how we can learn to trust the Scriptures to guide us in our finances. This is the 1st message in Pete's series "A Two-Sided Coin" and is based on John 8:31-36.
