Gazing at God
October 24, 2017
Are you ever tempted to blame yourself for your suffering? Satan wants us to believe that hardships are punishment for our sin—but nothing could be further from the truth. Christ suffered the consequences of our sin so we don’t have to.
In this message, Jill looks to the book of Job to explain how—in the midst of our turmoil—we can live above Satan’s lies and live in light of the Truth instead.

Words can sting. We’ve all, at some point, experienced the pain that comes from harsh criticism. So what do you do when you've been deeply hurt by the words of a stranger, an authoritative figure, or—worst of all—a loved one you greatly trust?
Job experienced this, as his greatest comforters suddenly became his greatest critics. But what we see in Job’s story is how God can use criticism to teach us a valuable, life-changing lesson.

Will you stay faithful to God even when your world is crumbling around you? Suffering puts us in a vulnerable state for Satan’s attacks. He roams the earth, waiting to pounce until we’re weak and at our breaking point.
We see this all throughout the book of Job. Satan prowls about, teases him, and uses individuals in Job’s life to criticize and hurt him. In this message, Jill teaches us how we can cope with Satan’s attacks and come out of the battle victorious.

Even when your theology aligns with the Bible and you recognize that sometimes the righteous are called to suffer, when pain and suffering come your way it can feel a bit like diving into cold water—it can take your breath away and test your faith.
How do we cope while we wait for God to intervene in our painful circumstances? We can look to the story of Job to find answers.

Suffering can seem like an endless battle, because as soon as you get in it, you just want to get out. Hours, days, weeks, months, or even years can go by and you’re still asking, “How long, oh Lord?” So what do you do when you’re in a seemingly endless season of hardship?
In this message, Jill shares how when we’re willing to wait out our seasons of suffering, God won’t let the time go to waste.

When trouble comes your way, are you quick to question it? Have you ever gone so far as to question God Himself? The world can tempt us into asking, How could a loving God let something so terrible happen? Have you ever found yourself pondering that question?
Instead of questioning the character of God, Job willingly received suffering from God’s hands. But how was he able to accept the seemingly unacceptable? Jill shares how we can experience a transformation of attitude and move from a place of questioning God to a place of trusting God.

Scripture teaches that every good and perfect gift is from above—but would you ever think to see adversity as a gift from God? In the same way we receive good things from above, we should learn to accept trouble as well. But how can we do that?
In this message, Jill answers that question by diving deep into Job’s story and sharing how our eyes can be opened to see hardships—and God Himself—in a whole new way.

Even though the Bible continues to be the leading best seller, fewer people are actually reading it. That’s unfortunate because God’s Word is just as powerful and life changing today as it has always been!

The Word of God tells us that there are two life roads—one leads to eternal life, the other to eternal death. There is an art to staying on the right road. There will be pitfalls and enemies who seek to trip us up and distract, divert, and destroy us along the way. But Jill Briscoe shows us that the Holy Spirit will guide, direct, and empower us to keep on walking in the everlasting way!

What does it mean to live in the Word? How do you hear His voice and apply it to your daily life? Jill Briscoe shows us that it starts with bringing your heart, your mind, and your will when you sit down and spend time reading His Word. Psalm 119:18 says, Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.

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.
