Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

The Fire that Ignites Our Faith, Part 1

January 22, 2018

Jesus said it was better that He leave earth so the Holy Spirit could come. He was one body amongst the people, but the Spirit would come to live inside of us. The Holy Spirit acts as a Fire that sets our souls ablaze and gives us the power to do things that are beyond our own strength.

Old Testament Jews strived to obtain three things—holiness, forgiveness, and access to God. Do you live your Christian life trying to acquire these things, not realizing that through Christ you already possess all of this and more?  In this message, Pete Briscoe explains what we forfeit when we live like Old Covenant Jews rather than New Covenant believers.

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.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could stay at rest even when conflict, stress, and trials push in on us? The Lord made a promise that we could enter His rest and that promise still stands today. Can you abandon your desire to strive in your own strength and find rest in His hands?  In this message, Pete Briscoe talks about the promise of rest available to all believers.

What was Jesus thinking about as he died on the cross? Was he tempted to fear death? Hebrews gives us a clue in referencing Psalm 22 with the opening words, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”  Jesus is the one person in all of history who has gone through death, overcame death, and is able to speak to us about it. In this message, Pete Briscoe dives deep into the topic of fear and death.

Why does Jesus allow persecution to happen when he has the authority to stop it? At the time the book of Hebrews was written, new believers were under pressure, some were persecuted for their newfound faith.  In this message, Pete Briscoe walks us through Scripture to find answers to this timeless question.

If Jesus is better than angels, and angels brought the Old Testament law to Moses, than Jesus is better than the law, right? It makes sense and we nod in agreement, but how many of us still find ourselves living under the law? Trying so hard to please God by following rules.  In this message, Pete Briscoe shares the Scripture warning that our salvation might be drifting from us without our realization. He challenges us to move from being church-goers to Christ-knowers.

There are many caricatures of Jesus—some see Him simply as an effective teacher, compassionate advocate, or revolutionary leader. However, He is more than all of these things, and if we fail to recognize His full identity, our faith is incomplete. Do you have a complete understanding of Jesus? In this message, Pete Briscoe reviews the full and resplendent descriptions of Jesus to help us achieve a complete understanding of who He is.

Are you unmovable in your faith? You can be when you know truth. And that’s what we have in Jesus. A dazzling truth that He is better than living by law, works, service, and good deeds. A truth that has the ability to transform us from the inside out and of which nothing else compares.  Do you know Jesus this way? In this message, Pete Briscoe encourages you to keep your eyes squarely on Jesus.

About Stuart and Jill Briscoe

Jill Briscoe was born in England and found Christ when she was 18 years old. She never looked back. Upon graduating from Cambridge University, she began working as a teacher by day and had a vigorous street ministry to the youths of Liverpool by night.

She met Stuart at a youth conference and they married in 1958. In the 50 years since, Jill has become a highly sought-after Bible teacher and author who travels around the world ministering to under-resourced churches and speaking at international seminars and conferences. Since 2000, she and Stuart, who was formerly senior pastor of Elmbrook Church for 30 years, have had the joy of equipping and encouraging believers across the globe in their roles as ministers-at-large for Elmbrook.

Jill has authored more than 40 books including devotionals, study guides, poetry and children's books. Her vivid, relational teaching style touches the emotions and stirs the heart. She serves as Executive Editor of Just Between Us, a magazine of encouragement for ministry wives and women in leadership, and served on the board of World Relief and Christianity Today, Inc., for over 20 years.
