Stuart and Jill Briscoe

I'm Depending

September 25, 2020

Dependent isn’t an adjective most people would want to use to describe themselves. Rather, we would like to be independent, in control. Paul writes about being dependent on Christ as a wonderful and necessary thing for Christian living. It is a privilege! In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches us how dependence on God is a beautiful part of the dance, as we let the Spirit guide us through daily living.

It’s easy to place your faith in people, parties, and programs. But it’s impossible for all those things to sustain and uphold your heart. When patience wears thin and genuine hope is all you long for, the “who” of faith matters greatly. And there’s no better Who than the Lord, our God. In this message, Stuart Briscoe opens Scripture to reveal the character of our promise-keeping God. He is true, He is faithful—and there’s no better place for your faith to be than in Him.

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.

In a world of screens and social media, nearness is increasingly uncommon. Yes, we’re more connected than ever before, but comments and video calls haven’t helped our loneliness—doing little to bring us comfort. So where do we turn when the whole world feels distant? In this message, Stuart Briscoe draws your attention to God’s precious promises in Psalm 23. As your strong and steady Shepherd, God is intimately present in your life. He is near—always leading to you to pastures of comfort and peace.

When man makes promises, he rarely follows through. God, on the other hand, can make promises the size of eternity, and He always follows through! God promised David that He would give him a throne that would never pass away. God promised to bring a new covenant to His people through David’s line, a covenant that would bring an eternity where there are no broken promises. In this message, we learn of God’s faithfulness in His grand promises. We can trust His promises because they are based on His unfailing love!

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.

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.

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.

Does anyone ever ask, “How are you?” and you reply, “Well, under the circumstances....” The problem is that’s exactly where we are living—under the circumstances! How do we rise above the adversity and sing a song of praise? From the Old Testament book of 1 Samuel, Jill Briscoe shows us how Hannah, under very difficult circumstances, found the secret.

In the midst of so much international and interpersonal turmoil, it is easy to wonder: Why is it like this? What is God doing? How can I possibly carry on in this chaotic world? These questions, incredibly pertinent today, were also asked by the psalmist of Israel several thousand years ago.  In his message “Keep Calm and Carry On,” Stuart Briscoe remembers life in World War II era Britain, and he uses Psalm 2 to confront the fear caused by the distressing circumstances of our current world with the sovereign plan of our mighty and holy God.
