Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Blessed Are the Peacemakers, Part 1

June 29, 2017

You can't be a peacemaker if you don't have peace with Jesus, the Prince of Peace. We've all heard this before, but do we really understand what that means and how to practice it in our lives? In this message, Jill Briscoe talks about the path to finding our peace with Jesus and making peace with others. It's an important topic—because we can't mend our marriages, settle family conflicts, or resolve issues with others if we don't truly understand what having peace means.

Life is full of uncertainties and unpleasantness. So it is no surprise that mild anxiety, chronic worry, and sheer panic abound. Such things are injurious to our health, relationships, and general well-being. But is it possible to find peace of mind?

Do you think that God's forgiveness is a matter of apologizing to Him for your sins? Or do you recognize that the blood of Jesus is what washes your sin away? Do you understand the important difference? In this message, Pete Briscoe compares the "apology economy" with the "blood economy" and focuses on where forgiveness is found.

Is there sin in your past that keeps you from being intimate with God? You know you're forgiven, but your little inner judge keeps bringing your sin to mind. Yes, God hard-wired you with a conscience, but not so you would be forever tormented by your sin. In this message, Pete Briscoe talks about finding freedom from the guilt, shame, and embarrassment that comes from sin.

Have you ever wondered why God made a new covenant? It's hard to imagine there was something wrong with the first covenant, because He made it. But in Jeremiah, we read that God found fault with the people. Despite His tender love for them, the people were incapable of living obediently to the law. In this message, Pete Briscoe shows how the age of law has passed and the age of the Son is here to stay. And with the new covenant, Jesus promises that through Him we are never led astray, we are intimately loved, and we are indisputably forgiven.

Have you ever been gripped by fear and wondered if God could ever change His mind about you? In our world, people change their minds all the time, and the consequences are often catastrophic—abandoned marriages, broken hearts, and destroyed finances. So what if God changed His mind and broke His promise about Jesus being the only way to the Father? In this message, Pete Briscoe takes a detailed look at the ultimate promise of God woven through His Word in the Bible.
