Ruth - How to Be a Friend and Make Friends
February 11, 2016
When we think of influential leaders, we often think of those who make bold statements, those who are aggressive or loud. But not all change happens that way. Ruth changed her world using humble acts of love and kindness. Despite her circumstances, Ruth spent her life in service. She lived a life that exemplified love to those around her, particularly in caring for her mother-in-law, Naomi.
Jill Briscoe teaches us how much we can learn from Ruth about being a true friend. This is the 6th message in Jill's study of women in the Old Testament and is taken from the book of Ruth and 1 Corinthians 13.

Every day we fight battles: teaching our kids to clean up their toys, dealing with difficult co-workers or family members, getting society to clean up the environment. But even though these battles are big, there is an even bigger war going on - a spiritual one. While we know that God is the ultimate victor, we live every day surrounded by Satan's armies.
The judge and prophetess Deborah was surrounded by not only a spiritual war but a physical one! God gave her the gifts and talents she needed to complete the task He gave her. In this message from Judges, Jill shares with us Deborah's story and shows us how we, too, can respond to God and find our roles in this great battle.

Have you ever felt wrongly judged? Rahab was someone who was judged for her outer appearance. A harlot, known for keeping brothels within Jericho, no one would have believed by simply looking at her that she was seeking God.
Thankfully, God looks beyond what man sees to the desires of our hearts, and changes us from the inside out. This is the 4th message in Jill Briscoe's series Women Who Changed Their World.

If you've ever wondered what it looks like to be a servant of God, look to Miriam. Miriam served God using her gifts when she took on a willing, servant attitude. Miriam discovered that she had the gift of prophecy, and she used it where God called her - in leading the people of Israel to the Promised Land, alongside Aaron and Moses.
God wants to use you, as He used Miriam, with the gifts and personality that He gave you. In the 3rd message of Jill Briscoe's series, Women Who Changed Their World, we see how God will put you in the right place at the right time. But He requires you to have the right attitude.

When we think of someone with a good attitude, Abraham's wife Sarah is probably not the first person who comes to mind. We might think of her arguments with Abraham, how she laughed at God's good news, her harsh dealings with Hagar, how she lied to Pharaoh. But in 1 Peter 3, Peter commends Sarah as a model for all women for her "quiet and meek spirit." What happened in Sarah's life to turn this feisty, contentious, rebel of a woman into God's royal princess?
In this message, Jill teaches us about Sarah's life - her shortcomings and how God turned this rebel into royalty - and how giving God control in our own lives can transform our attitudes like it did for Sarah. Based on Genesis 12-18 & I Peter 3-4, this is the 2nd message in Jill's 8-message study of women in the Old Testament.

Women throughout all of history have been trying to find their identities - through marriage, children, a career. But we can find our true identity and fulfillment only in our relationship with God. Eve had a unique opportunity to be with God in the Garden of Eden, and God revealed His intended work for her, what He designed her to do. But Eve's identity was challenged in the Fall when Satan deceived Eve into trying to find her identity outside of the God in whose image she was made. We, too, were created in God's image and were designed for the work He has for us.
In this message, Jill walks us through Eve's story and teaches us how it is also our story - how our own identities may be obscured in the Fall but are renewed in Christ's redemptive work. Based on Genesis 1-3, this is the first message in Jill's 8-message study of women in the Old Testament.

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 final message, based on Jeremiah 36 & 45, from her series Faith Enough to Finish, 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 2nd message in the series Faith Enough to Finish on the testimony of Jeremiah, 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. The teaching taken from Jeremiah 1:4-9 and 26:1-2.

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. Based on Lamentations 3:19-33, this is the first message in Jill's 3-message series Faith Enough to Finish.

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.

Explore the many qualities of agape love, as well as its impact when we allow it to shape our lives. This love imitates God, focuses on others, and leads to positive change. Love is a learned art, and Jesus wants to be our teacher. After all, He knows how to do it. This is the 6th message in Jill's 6-message series, "Living Love." In this final message, Jill looks at Mary of Bethany and the alabaster box. Luke 10:38-42
