Have you planned your funeral? Few of us have. We like to think of death as something far off in the future. Then once we do acknowledge death, sometimes we fall into "You Only Live Once" thinking and fill our time with whatever pleases us. But God never promised us a long life! He has our days numbered, and only He knows when that number is up and we'll be called to be with Him. In this message, Jill Briscoe cautions us to avoid the "Minute Trap" and offers us a better perspective on what this life really is and how we should use the time God has given us. This is the 4th teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

We've all been on both sides of hurtful words. We've insulted and been insulted, gossiped and been gossiped about. We've spoken words that have been obscene, profane, idle, or unkind. It's no wonder the Bible is full of references to the tongue - so much destruction and yet so much encouragement, all from one little member of the body! In this message, Jill Briscoe gives us an acrostic of "tongue" with examples of the tongue's destructive characteristics, as well as their opposites, so we can avoid the "Mouth Trap." This is the 3rd teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

We live in a culture that encourages greed. We feel the need to "keep up with the Joneses" and own things that we don't necessarily want or need. We are lured in by the "greed cheese" that Satan puts in the "Money Trap." But everything we have isn't even ours - it all belongs to God, and He entrusts us with what He knows we can handle. In this message, Jill Briscoe teaches about the role money should play in our lives and gives us practical and challenging advice on how we should view and be good stewards of money. This is the 2nd teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

When little troubles appear in our lives, we can be surprised and wonder why God would allow such things to happen to us. Such thinking reveals that we may have fallen into the "Me Trap": Satan tempts us with "easy cheese" promising an easy life. But God never promised that life would be comfortable! In this message, Jill Briscoe shows us how the troubles and pain in our lives are actually a way God molds us into Christ-like people. This is the 1st teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

At some point, we all fail - in relationships, at work, in ministry. While this is a fact of life, sometimes we believe Satan's lies that once we fail, God will not bless us, continue to use us, or be glorified through us. But even Jesus' disciples failed Him! And Jesus still used them to carry out His work. In this message, Pete teaches us through Jesus' interaction with His disciples after the resurrection how to keep traveling down the path He has for us even after we've failed. Based on John 21, this is the final message in Pete Briscoe's 21-message series Up Close and Personal.
