Visitor's Reception

December 24, 2018

We have learned how to send people to the moon—and get them back again. But we have not succeded in solving many of the pressing problems on earth. Many despair that we ever will. So the news that God visited our planet to put matters right is exciting. Or is it?

For centuries, the prophets had promised and predicted the Incarnation. John the Baptist was the last in this distinguished line and he was an unerring pointer to Christ and His ministry. He “came as a witness” (v.7) to prepare the people to welcome the Visitor.

It’s ironic that Christmastime seems to have less peace than any other time of the year despite the angels appearing in the sky to the shepherds after Jesus was born and proclaiming peace on earth.  Jesus came to bring peace, yet stresses around the holiday tend to elevate everything we’re struggling with, sending peace further and further out of our reach.  So many of us know that peace is a path that’s hard to find—so how do we find it?  In this message, Pete takes us through Zechariah’s song in Luke 1 and gives us hope that peace can be found, in any season of life.

“The Word became flesh” is the way the Bible describes the most stupendous visitation of planet earth from outer space. The identity of the Word, the reasons for His visitation, and its contemporary relevance should be considered carefully.

When we hear the word Christmas, many of us think of all the time spent finding the perfect gifts for the ones we love.  God’s perfect Christmas gift for us was His Son.  In this message, Jill Briscoe offers us the opportunity to have our first real Christmas through accepting the indescribable gift that God has given us.

One of the ironies of the Christmas season is that Jesus came to bring rest and to have us rest in Him.  And yet the season of His birth is probably the least restful time of the year.  We get so busy that “duty” distracts us from “deity.” Pete teaches how to break out of the cycle and refocus on our relationship with Him.

We all want to be pleasing to God. The question is: do we truly understand what pleases Him? In this message, Pete Briscoe shows us what Scripture says about how to please God, and you might be surprised to learn that it’s not something we can accomplish through our own effort, no matter how hard we try.

Life is full of squalls—sudden unannounced and unexpected storms that can lead us to question if God is in control of our lives. Death, sickness, unemployment, broken relationships, fears and failures are some of the troubles Satan uses to swamp us with doubt, usually when we’re already stressed and exhausted.  How do you respond when you’re hit with the squalls of life? Are you like the disciples in Mark 4 who wondered why Jesus slept while their boat was sinking, or do you believe God is in as much control when He’s seemingly asleep as when He’s obviously awake? Do you pray, “Don’t let there be another squall”? Or do you see storms as part of God’s plan for your life?  Teaching from the Gospel of Mark, Jill Briscoe addresses the issues of suffering and faith, challenging us to examine our beliefs in God in the midst of trouble.

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.
