Believing What We Believe

What do you believe? Why do you believe it? And what possible difference does it make what you believe? If you’ve ever had a faith crisis, you’ve probably struggled with these questions. Maybe you’re struggling with them right now.

The disciples questioned everything they believed after Jesus was crucified. They were devastated and afraid, everything they had put their faith in died with Jesus on the cross. Or so they thought. After His resurrection, Jesus spent 40 days with the disciples to teach them that His crucifixion was more than a tragic event—it was an event with divine significance.

In this series, Believing What We Believe, Stuart Briscoe covers the resurrection, ascension, and day of Pentecost as he deals honestly with the question, “Do we truly believe what we claim to believe?”

How brightly does Easter day dawn in your heart? That's the question Stuart Briscoe asks as he talks about how the disciples slowly began to realize that Jesus' death and resurrection was the culmination of God's perfectness in justice, mercy, forgiveness, and love for His people.

How can we experience joy in our hearts not just at Easter, but every day? Stuart points out in this message that it depends on what we believe about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Scripture: Mark 16:1-16:8

It's heartbreaking to hear someone say, "I used to believe, but then things didn't work out as I thought they should." That's a crisis of faith and not too different from what the disciples experienced after Jesus was crucified. They were devastated and afraid, everything they had put their faith in died with Jesus on the cross.

How do we respond to the grievous feeling of broken faith? Stuart Briscoe shares his own personal experience in this message Crisis of Faith. He talks about the crucial point in life when we move beyond our book knowledge of faith to actually applying "our faith in Him" to our lives.

Scripture: Luke 24:36-24:53
