Gazing at God
May 21, 2019
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.

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!

Some of the most well-known Bible characters had bad days—just as we do. No matter what your struggle may be today—depression, low self-esteem, bitterness, disappointment, anger, jealousy, weariness, even a lost will to live—there is a person in the Bible who felt those exact same feelings. Jill takes us through this familiar story to reveal the Father's heart.

One of the hardest things in life is facing rejection, especially when it comes from someone we love. We, like Leah, might keep striving, struggling, and manipulating to earn acceptance from our loved one. We may feel alone, but God sees and hears what we endure.
In this message, Jill walks us through Leah's struggle with rejection and shows us the God who saw, heard, and loved Leah through it all.

We all get tired sometimes. And sometimes in our tiredness we get to a point where we, like Elijah, say "I’ve had enough, Lord." Where do we go once we've reached that point? How can we find refreshment and get moving again? In this message, Jill uses Elijah's story to teach us that God alone can refresh us just as He did for Elijah.
