Who Is the Disciple John?

June 25, 2015
The disciple John was a man surrounded by death. As the last of Jesus' 12 disciples left alive, he had to face the death of all his friends in some horrible ways. Yet he was a man who truly knew what Life was! Through his writings, we see that John had a firm grasp on what true Life really is and where it is found - in Christ alone.

In this message, Pete Briscoe walks us through some of John's writings and points us to where eternal, satisfying, intimate, true Life is found. With teaching from John 20:31, this is the 4th message in Pete's series Everyday Disciples.

We all have things we're passionate about. While we'd like to say that our passions are for noble and selfless things, like helping the poor or feeding the hungry, most likely our passions take shape while we're stuck sitting in traffic or watching a bad call from the ref in a sporting event or feeling personally affronted by what someone says. Jesus' disciple James was no exception. He was a man full of misplaced, dangerous passion. But allowing his passion to be led by the Holy Spirit changed James into a man whose passion was dangerous - in a good way! In this message, Pete Briscoe shares with us some stories from James' life and guides us in dealing with our passion and the passionate people around us. With teaching from Luke 9:51, this is the 3rd message in Pete's series Everyday Disciples.

Ever feel like you don't belong? Like you're not in the "in" group? Jesus' disciple Matthew certainly did - as a tax collector, he was rejected and hated by his fellow Jews and by those in the "in" group. When Jesus called Matthew to be one of his followers, Matthew left his sinful lifestyle without hesitation - and then called his fellow "outsiders" to do the same! In this message, Pete Briscoe gives us the background of Matthew's story and shows us what this story really teaches us about Jesus himself. This is the 2nd message in Pete's series Everyday Disciples. Matthew 23; Matthew 9:9-13; Luke 18:8-14

When you think of Jesus' disciples, what do you picture? Do you picture superheroes or great, powerful men? The truth is that the disciples were just ordinary, everyday men! This group, hand-picked by Jesus, included no scholars, religious leaders, or especially talented men. We have examples of when they lacked faith, humility, spiritual understanding, and power. Yet despite their ordinariness, these men became testimonies of God's glory when He worked in and through them. In this message, Pete Briscoe introduces us to this ragtag group of men and shows us how God's power changed them from ordinary to extraordinary. With teaching from Mark 9, this is the 1st message in Pete's series Everyday Disciples.

In our culture today, one thing is glaringly obvious: Not all families are happy and not all marriages are intact, and there's a clear correlation between the two. One of the fascinating things sociologists are saying is that the weak link in the structure of the family is the relationship between the father and the child. If we are to look at what is causing very genuine concern in our world and what is happening in the disintegration of any families, perhaps they have given us a clue. We need to be looking at the relationship between the father and the children. Stuart Briscoe takes us to Ephesians 6:1-4 to explore God's plan for the role and responsibilities of fathers - for the well-being of our families and our culture as a whole.

Are you ever tempted to give up? Have you thought there's no use in continuing on? If you're helpless, that means your situation is beyond your ability to fix it. Pete shows us several verses that remind us of God's faithfulness to reign in our circumstances when we let Him. This message is the 3rd message in Pete's series, Changed by Christ. Mark 5

At some point in our lives, many of us have felt alone and rejected. No one understood those kinds of feelings better than the lepers in Jesus' day. Jesus' response to their plea for healing in Mark 1 is unparalleled. Listen as Pete depicts how Jesus always puts love and compassion before rituals and regulations. This message is the 2nd message in Pete's series, Changed by Christ. Mark 1:40-45

What if I told you that no matter how well you follow the commandments, it still wouldn't be enough to get you into heaven? Doesn't that seem unfair? Nicodemus thought he was guaranteed a place with God because he was one of the most knowledgeable law keepers of his time. Listen as Pete takes us to John 3 to explain Jesus' corrections to those assumptions. This message is centered on Nicodemus and is the 1st message in Pete's series, Changed by Christ. John 3

From birth, we embark on a lifetime of learning and we learn in a variety of ways. If we assume that we were created by an intentional God who had something in mind when He created us, then clearly we need to learn much about Him and His purposes. Peter said this would "keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Peter 1:8). Taken from 2 Peter 1:3-11, this message by Stuart is the 3rd teaching in Stuart and Jill Briscoe's 3-message series A Lifetime of Wisdom.
