The Best of 2024

The Bible is full of encouraging words, but what God told Joshua as he prepared to lead the Israelites into the Promised Land is among the most reassuring things He ever said: “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”

When we look at the world in 2024, there is a lot of be discouraged about: wars and military conflicts, severe political division, a culture drifting farther away from God—not to mention personal troubles that sometimes leave us striving for answers.

But still today, God is calling His people to be strong and courageous. As with Joshua and his army, He goes with us wherever we go. In “The Best of 2024” from Telling the Truth, which features the most-requested messages from the year, you’ll discover encouragement and biblical wisdom that endure. Stuart and Jill Briscoe look at how believers in Jesus should be using their time on Earth, and how to face some of the difficult situations we encounter.

Don’t let today’s gloomy headlines dampen your faith. God is here, and He’s going with you.

What kind of spiritual gifts do you have? For many of us, it’s hard to know. But it’s easier than you think to discover the wonderful gifts God has given you. In this message, Jill explains how by just looking at our lives and our day to day activities we can discover how to use our talents for God’s will and purposes.

Scripture: Exodus 35, Exodus 36

Are you in a dead-end relationship? Disappointed because that “special person” doesn’t meet all of your needs? We hear about situations like these all the time.

It’s clear we’re created as relational beings, so why do we struggle so much with relationships? In this message Stuart Briscoe teaches about the ultimate relationship that brings both comfort and meaning to our lives.

Scripture: John 15:1-15:16

So what’s the purpose of an abundant life on earth? Why doesn’t Jesus just take us to heaven now, to enjoy life with Him there?

Jesus said, “I have other sheep which are not of this sheep pen, I must bring them also.” In this message, Stuart describes his last way for us to get a life, the purpose for our own abundant life—to bring the sheep who are outside our flock inside.

Scripture: John 10:14-10:18

Jesus is coming again. He is coming soon… and we’d better be ready! Jill Briscoe boldly states this as she talks about the second coming of Christ. She explains the need to be alert and shares the joy in anticipating His return.

Scripture: Matthew 25:1-25:13

In many of the remaining monarchies, the kings and queens are much beloved by their people, but they have very little real power. Sadly, many believers relate to Jesus the same way. They proclaim Jesus to be King of Kings and the Lord of their lives, but they make all the decisions! When we let Christ truly reign, amazing things happen.

Scripture: Isaiah 32

The heretical teachers were apparently extorting exorbitant amounts of money from the church using godliness as a means to financial gain. Paul repudiated their activities but used the opportunity to show the great gain of “godliness with contentment.”

Scripture: 1 Timothy 6:3-6:10
