Finding God in the Dark Places
April 9, 2024
We often ask, “Where is God? I look for Him, but I do not see Him. I listen for Him, but I do not hear Him. It is dark—so very dark. Not pitch black perhaps, but my life is lived in shadows. How can I find God in the shadows?”

In Psalm 71, we have a man in his middle years looking back, looking around, and looking forward. He is musing over some of his life lessons of faith and wisdom, seeking to finish strong. This is a good exercise for all of us… whatever age we are!

In 2 Kings 4, there’s a story about a widow who has run out of options on how to pay her creditors. She’s facing the real possibility that she will lose both of her young sons to slavery, as a means of paying her debt. This desperate woman is out of money, out of hope, and out of faith. She’s angry at God for the situation she’s facing with seemingly no way out. Have you ever felt that way?
How do you find peace when your faith is completely out of focus? When the sheer weight of the moment has blinded you to the Holy Spirit at work on your behalf? Jill Briscoe’s message, A Little Pot of Oil, will remind you that God is sufficient. And you have all you need when you have all of Him in all you.
This teaching is also available in Jill’s book A Little Pot of Oil.

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....

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....

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....

How do you approach crisis? Many of us see crisis as a dead end, when, in reality, it’s a crossroads, presenting both danger and opportunity. Opportunity for what? To see what God alone can do with the most impossible situations.
In this message, Jill Briscoe shares how the miracle of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus can change how you respond to crisis. We learn the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in us and works in us!
At the completion of the message, Jill expresses Christ’s sacrifice through her poem “You Wore My Thorns.”

While Jesus' death and resurrection illustrate what God has done for us, the Easter story also shows us how we can respond to this great gift. That response is found in the devotion of the women who followed Jesus through the crucifixion and then sought to honor Him at the tomb. In this message, Jill Briscoe describes the bravery of the women in Jesus' life—and the dignity He had ascribed to them as He taught us all how to live.

"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!

"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.
