Martha - Busyness

What does your daily schedule look like? Is it full of errands and events? Sometimes we become workaholics and worriers, filling our days with too many tasks and constant concerns about things we can’t control rather than taking time to focus on the most important thing of all. In this message, Jill uses the example of Martha to show us instead how Jesus would want us to fill our time.

References: Luke 10:38-42

Life can be rough. Bad things happen. It’s easy to take those bad things and walk down the road of bitterness where our relationships with friends and family suffer. In this message, Jill tells us how Naomi’s experiences made her an empty, bitter woman, but she got back on track with the help of her daughter-in-law Ruth and became a full, better woman.

Ever have those prayers that God doesn’t seem to be answering? We all have dreams and longings—sometimes they go unfulfilled. We wonder, “Where is God in my pain? Does He even hear me?” In this message, Jill uses the example of Hannah and her desire for a child to teach us that God does indeed hear us.

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!

A woman’s identity is revealed in Creation, obscured by the Fall, but renewed in Redemption.

Can God revive the believer and animate the moral corpse of the unbeliever? In other words, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel had a vision and a mission that can be ours. What God is looking for is a “blessing bone.”

The Bible, in both the Old Testament and New Testament, “streams” with images of the Water of Life: storms and rain; streams in the desert; springs and wells; rivers, waterfalls, and watersheds; and the gentle dew of heaven. Water is a symbol of the Holy Spirit.

Who is the Holy Spirit and what does the Bible say about His work today? Can I experience the supply of His sustaining power in my life?

Have you ever witnessed someone growing in their faith and then suddenly there is a horrible spiritual attack? Jesus warned there is an enemy of the harvest—crows that are bent on snatching the seeds scattered in the fields before strong roots can take hold. We may not like to think about it, but Satan is eager to discourage and snatch away believers. In this message, Jill Briscoe encourages all the saints to get in the fight, disciple those around them, and help people grow strong roots in their faith.

It’s easy to see when a garden needs watering. The plant leaves begin to wilt, the ground becomes dry, and cracks appear. And if the plants aren’t tended to, they’re at risk of withering and dying. It’s the same with people who need Jesus. In this message, Jill Briscoe helps us understand what’s at risk and asks us to dedicate ourselves to impacting people in our sphere of influence.

Can an orchid grow in a putrid and smoldering garbage pile? Yes, and it has. That’s the power of life within the seed. And so it is with the Good News. Are you all out for Jesus, scattering news of Him wherever you go, no matter how dirty or unwelcoming the circumstance might be? In this message, Jill Briscoe encourages us to believe that God’s Word will always find good soil. It’s up to us to take advantage of every opportunity so that the fields will be ready for someone to come along and harvest to the glory of God.
