Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Just One Thing, Part 1

September 24, 2018

Jesus didn’t come to give you life—He came to give you the Life, His Life, true Life. If you lack peace and joy, and struggle with restlessness, you might be missing out on the Life that Jesus promises to give you.

In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches from 1 John to lead you to that just one thing that provides the freedom you long for and the rest you need.

References: 1 John 1:1-4

Christians who seek to live lives worthy of their high calling are aware that they are involved in a struggle. They need to be clear about the unique nature of the struggle and the way in which God plans for them to stand firm against the enemy and to win the victory.

It takes tremendous courage to stand firm in times of opposition and persecution when every fiber of your being tells you to turn and run. As the early church set out to do as Jesus asked—to be his witnesses throughout the world, they continually faced hostile situations. How did they manage to keep telling people about Jesus—even when it became an illegal act? In this message, Pete Briscoe teaches about prayer from Acts 4 to show us how to find courage.

Splinters, thorns, prickers. It doesn’t matter what they are called, they hurt and get under your skin! Life in our world is filled with thorns: difficult relationships, illness, loss of loved ones, broken promises. The Bible tells us that even the Apostle Paul and God Himself in Jesus struggled under the bite of thorns. But God does not allow thorns in our lives without providing sufficient grace to live in the prickly mess. What Satan intends to push us down often results in pushing us to our knees in front of God’s throne instead.  “You who wore my thorns that I may know Your grace...pierced by my sin that I may see Your face...loved and forgiven from shame and deep disgrace. You wore my thorns. You wore my thorns.” (from Jill’s poem “You Wore My Thorns” copyright 2003)

Why is a walk in a garden so relaxing? Because we were created to live in God’s garden of perfection, forever. Unfortunately, as the story goes, Adam and Eve made a fatal error and were forced to make their home in the garden of sin instead, where nothing is perfect or peaceful.  But remember, this is God’s story! God came looking for Adam and Eve after they disobeyed. And in His grace, He still comes looking for us today. Jill Briscoe takes us through biblical examples of God’s saving grace and how He offers us a way to His riches through Christ.
