  • Gathered for Fellowship
    Stuart Briscoe In the modern day church, our constant emphasis on our personal relationships with Christ has caused us to lose sight of the community of faith that we're a part of. Jesus commanded that His people gather as a church so that they would be reminded of their citizenship in this communityboth the visible and the invisible. Fellowship is also the reason that Jesus first commanded His disciples to disciple others, so that more people could come to share the fellowship that Christians enjoy with the Father, Son, and Spirit. In this message, Stuart walks through what this fellowship and community looked like in the early church. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

    Stuart Briscoe If we're stuck in the mindset of the church as a building in which we gather, instead of a community of believers, we lose sight of one of the key purposes of the church: to scatter among the lost.

In this message, Stuart explains the missions of the early church, while encouraging us to use our churches today not just to gather, but also to scatter.

  • The Characteristics of a Follower, Part 2
    Stuart Briscoe He was full of himself, and always the first to talk. He was also passionate, loyal, and hungry to learn. He wasn’t perfectfar from it. In other words, Simon Peter was just like us. It was only when he abandoned his old life to follow Jesus that he began to be transformed. Jesus makes the same offer to us: Leave your old life and follow Me! You may be telling yourself that Jesus can’t love you because you aren’t good enough, don’t know the Bible well enough, or don’t have a spotless past. Look at Peter! You are exactly the kind of person Jesus loves. Stuart gives a wonderful before and after illustration of how God can transform you when you bravely step out of your comfort zone.
