Telling the Truth

Sometimes we try to understand how anything good can possibly come out of the bad things that happen to us. The disciples certainly felt like this when Jesus told them it was to their advantage that He would leave them via the Cross. The advantage of which He spoke to them is to our advantage too, so we need to be clear about the promise He gave to them and to us. To support this ministry financia...

We know from personal experience that if something can go wrong, it willand probably at the worst possible time. We navigate through all sorts of trials, but what if the trouble you face is because you’re a Christian? Jesus tells us not to be surprised when we face troubles, because the world around us loves the darkness rather than the light. He also tells us to step out of our comfort zone, thor...

Have you ever experienced disappointed hope? To put all your trust in someone or something only to find they were untrustworthyto be fooled and have your hope shattered. Maybe that’s why we tend to distrust rather than to trust. Jesus said, Trust God, trust Me, don’t let your hearts be troubled. But what does it mean to trust in God in the midst of things that are deeply troubling or discouraging?...

Suffering can seem like an endless battle, because as soon as you get in it, you just want to get out. Hours, days, weeks, months, or even years can go by and you're still asking, "How long, oh Lord?" So what do you do when you're in a seemingly endless season of hardship? In this message, Jill shares how when we're willing to wait out our seasons of suffering, God won't let the time go to waste....

When trouble comes your way, are you quick to question it? Have you ever gone so far as to question God Himself? The world can tempt us into asking, How could a loving God let something so terrible happen? Have you ever found yourself pondering that question? Instead of questioning the character of God, Job willingly received suffering from God's hands. But how was he able to accept the seemingly...

God allows us freedom to choose how we live, but He doesn’t allow us to choose the consequences of our decisions. That’s the painful lesson we see the people of Judah live through as they are under siege with rampant famine and plague. In such dire circumstances, is it possible to live with hope that God will ever restore His people? In this message, Stuart Briscoe explores the purpose for God’s p...

Jeremiah never wanted to be a prophet. It broke his heart and endlessly frustrated him that the people of Judah would not heed his warnings of impending judgment. Even more heartbreaking for Jeremiah was living to see all that he warned about come to pass. But even as Judah is overtaken, we see that Jeremiah's work is not yet done as he moves from a message of warning to a message of encouragement...

Though the prophet Jeremiah stays on message and warns the people of Judah about God's coming judgment, they ignore him and outright reject God's offer of forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation. What happens when the people of a nation want nothing to do with God and decide to do things their own way? In this message, Stuart Briscoe examines the people of Judah as they shake their fists at Go...

Too often, in troubled times, man tries to fix what only God can achieve. That's what happened in Judahthe remaining remnant of Israelas King Josiah recognized the spiritual descent of the people and implemented societal reforms in an effort to turn people back to God.

In this message, Stuart Briscoe introduces you to Jeremiaha reluctant, fearful man G...

But God believes witnessing is everyone’s job, and He has given each and every one of us the tools to do it. In this message, Jill explains how we can learn to witness.

People become remarkably imaginative about God. But Scripture says, Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, neither has entered into the heart of man what God has prepared for those who love Him, but God has revealed them to us by His Spirit. Not speculation, not imagination but revelation. God is in the business of self-revelation, which is a fundamental tenant of Christianity. He has made human bei...
