Tending the Kingdom's Garden
May 20, 2016
It's easy to see when a garden needs watering. The plant leaves begin to wilt, the ground becomes dry, and cracks appear. And if the plants aren't tended to, they're at risk of withering and dying.
It's the same with people who need Jesus. In this message, Jill Briscoe helps us understand what's at risk and asks us to dedicate ourselves to impacting people in our sphere of influence.
This is the second message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

Can an orchid grow in a putrid and smoldering garbage pile? Yes, and it has. That's the power of life within the seed. And so it is with the Good News. Are you all out for Jesus, scattering news of Him wherever you go, no matter how dirty or unwelcoming the circumstance might be?
In this message, Jill Briscoe encourages us to believe that God's Word will always find good soil. It's up to us to take advantage of every opportunity so that the fields will be ready for someone to come along and harvest to the glory of God.
This is the first message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

Being in a valley isn't proof that God has left us or that He doesn't care. God is our shepherd. He is leading us, protecting and correcting us. This is how we know God's love for us, through his action in our lives.
In the final installment of Jill's 8-message series God’s Love for Us, we learn that God's rod corrects us, like He corrected David after his sin with Bathsheba, but His staff comforts us through these corrections. Loving discipline shows God's love for us.
Psalm 23
May 18, 2016
At times, we may feel useless, uncreative, ungifted, and unfit to do God's work. But simply by the fact that God has brought us into a redemptive relationship with Him, we can be encouraged that He has gifted us! The Holy Spirit is our gift; He is our anointing to do the good works that God has prepared in advance for us to do.
He Gifts Me, the seventh message of Jill Briscoe's series God’s Love for Us, assures us that God has gifted us and God will see us through the tasks He set before us. We can say, as David says, "He has exalted me by helping me to know Him."
II Samuel 23
May 17, 2016
No sin is bigger than God's forgiveness and mercy. There will be consequences for sin, but the love of God is the kind of unconditional love that shows mercy when the object of its love lies prostrate and repentant. David learned this when he sinned against God with Bathsheba, he learned the weight of guilt. He also learned that God's mercy is an attribute of His unfailing love.
In the sixth message of the series God's Love for Us, Jill Briscoe teaches us the importance of letting God love us by letting Him forgive us.
Psalm 103:4
May 16, 2016
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 his psalms about that. But he wrote with the knowledge that God's love brings comfort, encouragement, freshness, and life to those who pant after Him.
In the fifth message of Jill Briscoe's series God's Love for Us, Jill points us to the many resources for encouragement that God has already given us: His Holy Spirit, His word, and His people. God beckons us to bring encouragement to those around us.
Psalm 119:52
May 13, 2016
When man makes promises, he rarely follows through. God, on the other hand, can make promises the size of eternity, and He always follows through! God promised David that He would give him a throne that would never pass away. God promised to bring a new covenant to His people through David's line, a covenant that would bring an eternity where there are no broken promises.
In the fourth of Jill Briscoe's series God's Love for Us, we learn of God's faithfulness in His grand promises. We can trust His promises because they are based on His unfailing love!
Psalms 41 & 73-76
May 12, 2016
We have all experienced the feeling of spiritual oppression, temptation, or threats. But when David faced Goliath, God was the champion. God fought for the one He loved, just as He will fight for us when we're overwhelmed, because He loves us.
In Jill's third message from her series God’s Love for Us, she teaches us that God is our rescuer. That doesn't mean He will always rescue us from physical hardships or discomfort, but He will rescue us from sin, and its consequences. He will rescue us from Satan's schemes, from fear, and from ourselves.
I Samuel 17:26-29
May 11, 2016
It's easy for us to question God when He chooses us for a task. We feel unqualified, like God has made a mistake. But God often chooses the unexpected to do His work. David was the definition of unexpected. He was the youngest, the smallest shepherd boy, but he was chosen by God to be king.
In the second message of this 8-message series, Jill shows us that all of us have been anointed and given the ability to receive a calling and equipping from God.
I Samuel 16
May 10, 2016
Our mere existence is evidence of God's love. When God creates, He creates in love and with purpose. He knows our days, our actions, our thoughts, before we even begin to exist.
In the first message of Jill Briscoe's 8-message series God’s Love for Us, she reminds us that our reaction to God's love for us, as displayed in our creation, ought to be like David's in the psalms – a reaction of praise and obedience.
Psalm 139
May 9, 2016
In this Mother's Day message, we think of our mothers. We celebrate all the things they did right, and we are grateful. But there are some things mothers cannot do - that only God can do! Psalm 139
