Telling the Truth

Stuart and Jill Briscoe

My Heavenly Father-in-Law, Part 2

March 11, 2020

God is desperately concerned with how His children are treated. He’s concerned as our heavenly Father—and as our heavenly Father-in-law! Because our spouses are God’s sons and daughters, when we marry, He also becomes our heavenly father-in-law! And He has a whole list in Colossians about how He expects His in-laws to treat His sons and daughters.

In this message, Pete Briscoe explores how God views our marriages and how the way we treat our spouses impacts our relationship with Him.

References: Colossians 3:1-17

Does your spouse know the true you? We all have a fake persona that we present to the world—and often to our spouse—in order to hide our shame, past hurts, and failures. It’s difficult to become vulnerable, but the more we hide the harder it is to be known - and being known is where true intimacy lies. In this message, Pete Briscoe encourages you to introduce the “true you” to your spouse—the honest and vulnerable you that is truly worth knowing—and see how your relationship blossoms into a deeply meaningful marriage.

If you look behind the conflicts, arguments, and unresolved disputes in your marriage you’ll likely find the root problem is that you and your spouse are fighting for control. The human quest for control is nothing new—it’s been plaguing relationships since the beginning of time. And the tension that results from guarding your turf prevents your marriage from flourishing. In this message, Pete Briscoe talks about how our need for control is really just a symptom of something deeper. He discusses what it takes to erase the boundaries of our individual kingdoms in order to enjoy the oneness that God intended for our marriages.

What’s the secret to a sustained, successful marriage? As Stuart Briscoe often answers, “Keep your promises and live a long time.” That, of course, begs the question: What’s the secret to keeping your promises? In this message from Mark 10, Stuart draws our attention to the biblical foundations of marriage—and how honoring God’s good design can encourage spouses toward a lifetime of love and faithfulness.

In this world there’s no shortage of grounds for doubts and fears, and Christians are not exempt. It is important as believers that we be people who know what we know, believe what we believe, and are confident in the things that we ought to be confident in.

In its early days, the Christian church was very conscious of the struggle for the souls of men and women between “the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.” In our modern culture, we see dramatically changing attitudes toward truth. But we must recognize that there is such a thing as truth, and there is such a thing as error.
