Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Chasing After Love

May 9, 2018

Do you find yourself living for the love and approval of others? Are you looking to others to meet your needs and satisfy your desire for acceptance?

Maybe you do the same thing with God—trying to please Him by performing and living well. Remaining in this trap of living to gain His approval will only prevent you from truly experiencing God’s outrageous love.

In this message, Pete Briscoe shows you how to stop living for God’s love and live in it instead. You’ll learn how to rest in the love He already has for you instead of spending your life chasing after it.

What keeps you from coming to Jesus? Is it your past or your pride? Are you concerned friends and family will outcast or belittle you for believing in Him? Or do you think you’re too far gone for Jesus to accept you? The truth is we’re all a mess! We make bad choices that lead to unwelcomed consequences. And sometimes, we run from Jesus because of our shame and brokenness. Jesus sees beyond your messiness and longs to transform your life. In this message, Pete Briscoe helps you break free from whatever might hinder you from coming to Jesus and being restored by His overwhelming love.

It’s difficult to understand the heavenly love of Jesus. And so we try to live impressively to win His affection. But there was never a moment in time when Jesus saw something in you and thought ... Hey, that’s impressive, I think I’ll love him. The truth is Jesus’ love for you isn’t contingent on your behavior or performance. He has always loved you. Before the creation of time, before the foundation of the world, before you were created—He loved you. In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches from Ephesians chapter 3 where the apostle Paul longs for the truth of God’s love to come alive inside you, so you can experience a depth of love that you never knew was possible.

Think of the person you love most in this world. Could you ever imagine standing by and doing nothing as your loved one was beaten, humiliated, and murdered? God stood by and watched all these things happen to His beloved Son, Jesus. He allowed it because of His love for you! Does that reality move you? Does it give you a hint of His passionate love for you? In this message, Pete Briscoe unwraps Ephesians to help you understand your worth to God so you can experience the overflowing love and grace that He has for His beloved children.

God didn’t randomly decide to love you. He deliberately chose you out of a deep passionate love. Deuteronomy 7:6 says, The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. When the world leaves you feeling marginalized and unloved, how you can live confidently knowing that you’re God’s adopted child? In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches from Ephesians to help you move from feelings of low self-worth and low self-esteem to feeling chosen, pursued, and loved.

Is there sin in your past, or sin you’re struggling with right now, that’s keeping you from believing and experiencing Jesus’ love for you? His love isn’t predicated on your performance, good or bad. His love is predicated on His character, which never changes. He can’t help but love you! In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches from Hebrews 5:10 to help you break free from the sin, shame, and guilt that might be preventing you from fully resting in and experiencing His love and grace.

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).

In Psalm 71,  we have a man in his middle years looking back, looking around, and looking forward. He is musing over some of his life lessons of faith and wisdom, seeking to finish strong. This is a good exercise for all of us... whatever age we are!
