Giving Tuesday is November 27th, but you don't have to wait! In this special broadcast message, Pete Briscoe explains what it means to experience Life, how Telling the Truth is bringing the message of Christ to the world, and how you can support that Gospel ministry in impactful ways this holiday season.

Do you believe that Jesus can do miracles in your life? Jesus' disciple Philip was an analytical, practical kind of guy, the one who would handle the details of the disciples' travel arrangements. This responsible, systematic personality, however, led him to have a hard time believing in the supernatural power of Jesus. Yet Jesus took the opportunity to give Philip, and us, glimpses of how powerful Jesus really is! 

In this message, Pete Briscoe introduces us to Philip and encourages us to avoid Philip's mistakes and fully embrace Jesus' supernatural power.

The disciple John was a man surrounded by death. As the last of Jesus' 12 disciples left alive, he had to face the death of all his friends in some horrible ways. Yet he was a man who truly knew what Life was! Through his writings, we see that John had a firm grasp on what true Life really is and where it is found—in Christ alone. 

In this message, Pete Briscoe walks us through some of John's writings and points us to where eternal, satisfying, intimate, true Life is found.

We all have things we're passionate about. While we'd like to say that our passions are for noble and selfless things, like helping the poor or feeding the hungry, most likely our passions take shape while we're stuck sitting in traffic or watching a bad call from the ref in a sporting event or feeling personally affronted by what someone says. Jesus' disciple James was no exception. He was a man full of misplaced, dangerous passion. But allowing his passion to be led by the Holy Spirit changed James into a man whose passion was dangerous—in a good way! 

In this message, Pete Briscoe shares with us some stories from James' life and guides us in dealing with our passion and the passionate people around us.

Ever feel like you don't belong? Like you're not in the “in” group? Jesus' disciple Matthew certainly did—as a tax collector, he was rejected and hated by his fellow Jews and by those in the “in” group. When Jesus called Matthew to be one of his followers, Matthew left his sinful lifestyle without hesitation—and then called his fellow “outsiders” to do the same! 

In this message, Pete Briscoe gives us the background of Matthew's story and shows us what this story really teaches us about Jesus himself.

When you think of Jesus' disciples, what do you picture? Do you picture superheroes or great, powerful men? The truth is that the disciples were just ordinary, everyday men! This group, hand-picked by Jesus, included no scholars, religious leaders, or especially talented men. We have examples of when they lacked faith, humility, spiritual understanding, and power. Yet despite their ordinariness, these men became testimonies of God's glory when He worked in and through them. 

In this message, Pete Briscoe introduces us to this ragtag group of men and shows us how God's power changed them from ordinary to extraordinary.

Sometimes we think that if we could only get what we want, we would finally be happy. Solomon thought that, too. He had a “getting” obsession, never denying himself anything he wanted, and he became “greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before [him].” 

But all these things didn't bring Solomon the happiness he was looking for. Solomon and you and I are all trying to soothe a heart ache that can't be cured by “things” but only by finding our purpose, the reason we were made!

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 which is not our home?
