Adonai - Lord, Master

April 6, 2016
In Bible times, every seven years all slaves had the chance to go free. If they chose to stay with their masters, they would be taken to the public market and a peg was put through one of the slave's ears to mutilate the ear. That way he would be "marked" as a slave who loved his master and did not want to go free. We are called to serve God as willing slaves. Do you consider yourself "marked" for God? In this message, Jill explores God as our Adonai, or master, to help us understand how we can serve God better.

This is the 2nd message in Jill's 8-message series "The Names of God."

The wonder of God's creation is all around us. Look at the flowers, the birds, and the tiniest insects, and you'll discover the amazing plan and intricate design of His creations. And then think about how much more he cares for us and his entire universe. In this message, Jill helps us understand God as our Elohim, or creator. This is the 1st message in Jill's 8-message series "The Names of God." John 1:1, 17; Genesis 1, 2, 3:22, 9:8; Isaiah 14-18

When you come to familiar Scriptures, do you tend to pass them by? Most of us have heard the 23rd Psalm describing the shepherd's relationship with his sheep. Take time and allow the Lord to give you fresh revelation on these verses as Jill Briscoe shares her heart and perspective on Psalm 23 - one of her favorite passages.

When we're suffering the consequences of our own poor choices; when we're bearing the brunt of someone's vengeance and anger; when we feel absolutely on our own and life is not working out as planned, that's when God will turn up. He wants to walk down the stairway of heaven right into our hearts to make us aware of His personal interest and concern. We learn in Scripture how God wrestled Jacob to the ground one night and turned him upside down - so he could live right-side up. Jacob became a "prince" with God instead of a pain. This message by Jill Briscoe is taken from Genesis 28:10 & 32:22-31.

Are you going through the motions with no real passion for your faith or God? Are you dull and ineffective? If so, you've lost your spiritual edge, and there's nothing that delights the devil more. Find out how to sharpen your faith again in this single message from Jill Briscoe.  Teaching from the story of Elisha and a lost ax in 2 Kings 6, Jill encourages you to uncover how and where you lost your edge. Ask yourself honestly – have you lost it to bitterness, unforgiveness, lust, materialism, willfulness, laziness, or just plain selfishness? Be encouraged that the lost ax is not the end of the story – it can be found, with God's help!

When tragic events happen, we're tempted to think everything is different and will never go back to normal again. It's sometimes referred to as the "new normal," and it's rarely seen as a good thing. However, evil is evil - that's not new! In the Western world, it feels that way because so much of the evil we hear about is far away, happening to people we don't know. When it hits us in our own back yard, through a national crisis or other circumstance, it is new to us - and it seems desperately unfair. It's then we can choose to berate and judge God for not stepping in, or turn toward Him and recognize that our finite minds cannot understand everything. Nevertheless, God is good, and He is in control! In this single message by Jill, she shares lessons about a believer's response to tragedy by looking back at her own experiences during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As she sat in a grounded plane in Newfoundland waiting to return to the United States, God used that time to teach her about the eternal promise of safety He has made to all of us who believe in Him. I Corinthians 7:26-35

On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about." After Jesus' ascension into heaven, the believers were filled with fear, wondering if they would be next to be crucified. But something happened that energized these people, gave them power to speak and do things as they never could have before! Based on Acts 1:4, this is the final message in Jill Briscoe's 8-message series, The Heartbeat of the Master.

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." It's no secret that all of us will die in the end. Even Jesus died! And this makes His resurrection one of the most important aspects of His life and a source of incredible hope for us. Based on Matthew 28:20 and Luke 24, this is the 7th message in Jill Briscoe's 8-message series, The Heartbeat of the Master.

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Based on John 19:30, this is the 6th message in Jill's 8-message series, "The Heartbeat of the Master."

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." How would you feel if you knew you were going to die painfully tomorrow? When Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, He was struggling with that same knowledge, for not only was He to be crucified the next day, but He was also to bear the weight of all our sin! How did He deal with such emotions? And how can we handle emotions in our own lives? Based on Matthew 26:39, this is the 5th message in Jill Briscoe's 8-message series, The Heartbeat of the Master.
March 24, 2016
So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me." Jesus' ministry only spanned three short years but had an incredible impact, lasting millennia. What was it about his approach that gave him such power? Based on John 8:28, this is the 4th message in Jill Briscoe's 8-message series, The Heartbeat of the Master.
