Messages From This Series:

Recharging and Refocusing with God

  • Speaker: Jill Briscoe

In our busy lives we sometimes feel like we’re running out of fuel. That’s when it’s time to do what Jesus did when demands were pressing in on Him: Practice the spiritual discipline of solitude. Jesus would get away from the crowd and focus on God the Father. That time alone with His Father gave the Lord an opportunity to recharge and to be comforted before getting back to work.

In this message, Jill Briscoe talks about the need for a personal time out in which God can speak to us. It’s hard to hear His voice above the din of the crowd sometimes, Jill says. And after God speaks with us, He send us back out to the people He loves to share our blessings and join Him in growing the Kingdom of God.

God’s Plan for the Universe

  • Speaker: Stuart Briscoe

Some people see a world spinning hopelessly out of control, while others explore the universe looking for worlds for mankind to conquer. But both forget one thing. God has a plan—and we’re part of it! The epistle to the Ephesians explains.

Scripture: Ephesians 1:1-1:14

Elijah – Burnout

  • Speaker: Jill Briscoe

We all get tired sometimes. And sometimes in our tiredness we get to a point where we, like Elijah, say “I’ve had enough, Lord.” Where do we go once we’ve reached that point? How can we find refreshment and get moving again? In this message, Jill uses Elijah’s story to teach us that God alone can refresh us just as He did for Elijah.

To the Ends of the Earth

  • Speaker: Jill Briscoe

As disciples of Jesus, we know we’re called to spread the good news of the Gospel. But sometimes we fret about exactly where our mission field is, and to whom we’re meant to share God’s Word.

In this message, Jill Briscoe puts it bluntly: “It doesn’t matter where you’re standing, that’s your mission field.” She explains how God fills the gaps of our inadequacy as we obey his command to tell others about the liberating love of Jesus.

As part of her message, Jill tells the compelling story of how she and her husband, Stuart Briscoe, began their lifetimes of evangelism in the United States and around the world.

Heart Cry

  • Speaker: Jill Briscoe

Ever feel like something is missing, like you just don’t belong? You probably feel that way because it is true! God created us for Himself and put eternity in our hearts—we were not made for here. So how do we make the most of this life where “everything is meaningless, a chasing after the wind” (as Solomon wrote in Ecclesiastes) in a world that is not our home?

Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:11

Don’t Worry

  • Speaker: Stuart Briscoe

Mark Twain said, "My life has been full of many problems, most of which never happened!" He presumably looked to the future with a degree of trepidation and spent a lot of time being anxious about things that actually never happened. Does that sound like something you do, too?

Another great author, the Apostle Paul, said that no matter what happens—don't be anxious about anything.

In this message, Stuart Briscoe looks to Scripture to identify the formula for becoming worry-free, no matter what circumstance we are facing—or think we'll have to face.

The Time of the End

  • Speaker: Stuart Briscoe

Daniel's great vision ended with him learning many astonishing things. He did not understand everything because the information concerned the near and distant future, but he was greatly encouraged. We, too, do not understand it all, but we can be encouraged.

Scripture: Daniel 12

How to Grow Old Gratefully

  • Speaker: Stuart Briscoe

Everybody is growing old. Some are further along than others. But growing older does not necessarily mean growing wiser, more mature, or holier. It can mean becoming meaner, crabbier, and more selfish. We need to take care to grow old gracefully and gratefully!

Scripture: Genesis 48

Lost and Found

  • Speaker: Jill Briscoe

A parable is defined as an earthly story with a heavenly meaning. And the parable of the prodigal son found in Luke 15 may be one of the most famous parables in Scripture. The story of the prodigal son is about God losing something very precious and sending His son, Jesus, to get it back. This is God’s world, and He wants it back!

Scripture: Luke 15:11-15:32

Finding Hope and Comfort in Hard Times

  • Speaker: Jill Briscoe

When trials and suffering come, where do we turn? We ought to turn to God—the God of all comfort. Suffering in this life is inevitable. David knew that. He wrote some of his psalms about it. But he wrote with the knowledge that God’s love brings comfort, encouragement, freshness, and life to those who seek Him.

In this message, Jill points us to the many resources for encouragement that God has given us: His Holy Spirit, His Word, and His people. God asks us to bring encouragement to those around us.

God’s Plan for Spiritual Growth

  • Speaker: Stuart Briscoe

Having explained what God was doing in his life and wanted to do in the Ephesians lives, Paul turned to prayer. His concern was that they would discover and experience all that God had in mind for their spiritual growth and development. We need similar concerns today.

Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-3:21

How Disciples Pray

  • Speaker: Stuart Briscoe

Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life. Jesus made that clear throughout His ministry, as He both actively participated in it and frequently talked about it with His disciples.

But how exactly should we pray? And will God even answer?

In this message, Stuart Briscoe walks you through the Lord’s Prayer in the Sermon on the Mount to explain how to pray and what to pray. This message will give you the confidence you need to step into a vibrant life of prayer and intimacy with Jesus.

Scripture: Matthew 6:5-6:15
