Keeping the Spotlight on Christ
December 18, 2019
How can we get ready for Christ to come this Christmas and not allow Christmas to come without Him? It's not easy to keep Christ in the spotlight when we are so busy preparing for the happenings of the season. But we can, and must, focus on what He did for us as we celebrate His birth this Christmas.

Who was Jesus? Jesus was no ordinary child. The book of Hebrews says He was Divinity. He was God Himself, Immanuel—God with us. In this Christmas message, Jill Briscoe discusses the miraculous birth of Jesus, who Jesus was, and what that means for us.

What is God using to chisel you into the image of Christ? Will you lie still in His hand and let Him do it?
For Jeremiah, God was using his ministry partner, Baruch, to chisel and hammer him into shape. Jeremiah, too, was chiseling Baruch. Without the encouragement of the other, neither would have had faith enough to finish when their ministry got difficult.
In this message, Jill describes how we can learn to work with and celebrate the differences between us and the people in our lives.

Do you ever find yourself running away from God's plans because you feel inadequate? Jeremiah felt inadequate when God called him to be a prophet. But God spoke a promise to Jeremiah saying, "My plan will be in your life, My work will be in your hand, and My words will be in your mouth."
In this message, Jill teaches how to have the kind of faith that believes that God will enable and equip us to do everything He asks of us.

Trying to walk in faith is a day-by-day lesson in leaning on God. It's figuring out moment-by-moment what a Christian life looks like—and it's not easy.
Jeremiah had to learn how to have faith like this when he was in the pit, when he was fighting despair and doubt. During this time, God was teaching Jeremiah to put his mind on Him, instead of on the troubles of life.
Jeremiah's testimony of learning faith morning by morning is a great lesson for us in pursuing faith, even in doubts and trials.

You probably don’t need to be convinced about how important it is to share life with others. To be friendless in a friendless world is a frightening thing. But have you ever struggled to develop meaningful and precious friendships?
In this message, Jill Briscoe teaches about being vulnerable in our relationships and how friendship can deeply impact our lives.

As someone who is made in the image of God, you have a better understanding than you might think about His longing desire for companionship and friendship.
Are You a Friend of God? explores Scripture that reveals God's friendships with His people. Enoch was God's walking and talking friend, Job was His hurting friend, and Moses was His waiting friend. What kind of friend are you?
In this message Jill Briscoe will shift how you think about your relationship with God and challenge you to identify, and grow in yourself, the characteristics that God is looking for in a friend.

Have you ever received a gift you didn't deserve? This is exactly what happens at the judgment seat of Christ. The Bible is filled with hints of what this event might be like for us. Jill discusses a couple of them for us to try and paint us a picture.
Not only do we receive the gift of dwelling in heaven when Christ died on the cross for us, we also get rewarded for the things that Christ did through us while we were on earth.

We have the free will to make our own choices in life. These choices set the path for our earthly existence and, ultimately, our eternal existence. But there is a coming day when we will stand at the great white throne of God and deal with the consequences of the most important choice we had to make on earth.
Jill talks through several verses in the Bible explaining the ramifications of the decision to trust Jesus Christ as our Savior, or not.

Do you have friends and family who have not yet accepted the Lord? Knowing that our time on earth could end at any moment, are you worried about them spending eternity in the outer darkness called hell?
Jill insists that if hell is a real existence and there's a possibility that our unbelieving loved ones may end up there, it is a crucial matter to discuss. She dives into this controversial topic: Is there a second chance to accept Christ after death?

What is hell? How could a loving God create such a horrible place and then be willing to send His creation there? Jill agrees that these are normal thoughts to have, but she uses a number of passages to change our perspective on the matter.
The greatest fall came when God's highest angel wanted to take His place and therefore was thrown out of heaven; hell was created as this angel's new home. Hell was never created by God for man, but if we choose to reject Him, this dreadful place becomes our eternal home.
