Time and time again, Jill Briscoe has met and ministered to suffering people. Many of them have experienced trials we cannot even comprehend. In this stirring message on the trials of Job, Jill shares what she has learned from the examples of those who responded rightly to suffering. Jill shares her own struggles with waiting through difficult situations and overcoming the temptation to think that if God doesn't answer prayers the way we want, God isn't good. Jill shows us how we can learn to say, like Job, "I will accept it, as from a good God," and allow our situation to increase our faith and dependence on our Redeemer.

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. Jill reads her poem "Divinity Wrapped in a Blanket."

How can we live above the problems of everyday life? Habakkuk tells us how, and it's all about getting God's perspective. There is unspeakable joy in embracing, accepting, and submitting to whatever "burden" God has called each of us to endure. With His help, we can live above it. This is the second message in Jill's two-message series on the spiritual art of leadership. Habakkuk

Effective ministry will not happen if the ones who are seeking to minister have lost their cutting edge. In building the Kingdom, it is critical to stay spiritually sharp. The question is knowing how to do that. This is the first message in Jill's two-message series on the spiritual art of leadership. II Kings 6

While here on earth, Jesus himself sought communion with God through prayer. His disciples were to do likewise. He gave us a pattern to follow. For those who ask, seek, and knock, God is more than willing to answer. He is even more willing than friends or an earthly father, as Jesus explains through the parables. But the Christian's prayer requests need to be in line with Jesus' model prayer. Luke 11:1-28

"Mary...sat at the Lord's feet listening to what He said" (Luke 10:39). One of the things that matters most to Jesus is our personal relationship with Him. This matters to Him even when it doesn't matter to us! He offers the human race an incredible invitation. He says, "Let's talk." What does this mean? It involves listening to His Word and responding in prayer. Luke 10:38-42

When you come to familiar Scriptures, do you tend to pass them by? Most of us have heard the 23rd Psalm describing the shepherd's relationship with his sheep. Take time and allow the Lord to give you fresh revelation on these verses as Jill Briscoe shares her heart and perspective on Psalm 23 - one of her favorite passages.

Splinters, thorns, prickers. It doesn't matter what they are called, they hurt and get under your skin! Life in our world is filled with thorns: difficult relationships, illness, loss of loved ones, broken promises. The Bible tells us that even the Apostle Paul and God Himself in Jesus struggled under the bite of thorns. But God does not allow thorns in our lives without providing sufficient grace to live in the prickly mess. What Satan intends to push us down often results in pushing us to our knees in front of God's throne instead. "You who wore my thorns that I may know Your grace...pierced by my sin that I may see Your face...loved and forgiven from shame and deep disgrace. You wore my thorns. You wore my thorns." (from Jill's poem "You Wore My Thorns" copyright 2003) In this second message in her series Grace in the Garden, Jill Briscoe shares two of her poems: "Divinity Wapped in a Blanket" and "You Wore My Thorns."

Why is a walk in a garden so relaxing? Because we were created to live in God's garden of perfection, forever. Unfortunately, as the story goes, Adam and Eve made a fatal error and were forced to make their home in the garden of sin instead, where nothing is perfect or peaceful.
But remember, this is God's story! God came looking for Adam and Eve after they disobeyed. And in His grace, He still comes looking for us today. Jill Briscoe takes us through biblical examples of God's saving grace and how He offers us a way to His riches through Christ.
This is the first of two messages in Jill's series, Grace in the Garden.

Is your heart asking, "How long, O Lord"? Who or what are you waiting for? A job? A friend to be a friend? Someone to love you or for you to love back? Are you waiting for a break - or a baby? A child to say they're sorry, reconciliation, or an important prayer to be answered? Maybe you're waiting for the bullying or betrayal to stop - or lying, hating, injustice, corruption, or hurt. Or perhaps you are in a crisis of faith that needs to be resolved.
