Standing Firm When the World Shakes Back

May 13, 2014
Called to unlock the door to the secrets of God's saving grace, Paul followed the footsteps of Jesus. They were principles that fueled his amazing life and made him a "world shaker." We can own those principles, too, and shake up our world for Christ.

This message includes Jill's poem, "God Dropped By."

Acts 21-23

Paul had a heart as big as the world, a vision as high as the sky, and a life that marches down the stairway of time into our little lives - enlarging them forever. He was a mover and a shaker - a "world shaker." From this point on in the narrative, Paul would be in prison and bondage until the end of his course on earth. Acts 21-22

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! Psalm 139

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. Habakkuk

I believe in Jesus, but for so long I've been spiritually dry. I made a mistake. A bad mistake! And since then, I've been living in a desert of regrets in a dry and barren land... thirsty, thirsty, thirsty. It's been a long time since I've experienced a sense of the supernatural. I feel isolated,marginalized, full of self doubt – a failure. Exodus 3 & 4

We often ask, "Where is God? I look for Him, but I do not see Him. I listen for Him, but I do not hear Him." It is dark. So very dark. Not pitch black perhaps, but my life is lived in shadows. How can I find God in the shadows? Esther

When tragic events happen, we're tempted to think everything is different and will never go back to normal again. It's sometimes referred to as the "new normal," and it's rarely seen as a good thing. However, evil is evil - that's not new! In the Western world, it feels that way because so much of the evil we hear about is far away, happening to people we don't know. When it hits us in our own back yard, through a national crisis or other circumstance, it is new to us - and it seems desperately unfair. It's then we can choose to berate and judge God for not stepping in, or turn toward Him and recognize that our finite minds cannot understand everything. Nevertheless, God is good, and He is in control! In this single message by Jill, she shares lessons about a believer's response to tragedy by looking back at her own experiences during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As she sat in a grounded plane in Newfoundland waiting to return to the United States, God used that time to teach her about the eternal promise of safety He has made to all of us who believe in Him. I Corinthians 7:26-35

In Bible times, when a person had leprosy, they would use rags to cover their open sores because they were very contagious. In the book of Isaiah, it says that all of our righteous acts are like filthy rags - like the unclean rags used by people with leprosy. So if our good acts can never be righteous to God, then how can we live in Heaven? In this message, Jill teaches about our Jehovah Sidqenu, which means "Jesus is my righteousness." She lets us know how we can be righteous in God's eyes. This is the 8th and final message in Jill's 8-message series "The Names of God." Jeremiah 23:5-6; Job 31:6; Psalm 62:9; Daniel 5; Luke 15

Sheep rely on their shepherd to love them, lead them, and give them food and water. In this same way, we can depend on the Lord to be our shepherd, and he will love us, lead us, and provide nourishment for our soul. In this message, Jill talks about God as our Jehovah Ro'i, or shepherd, so we can know what wonderful things God provides for us, His sheep. This is the 7th message in Jill's 8-message series "The Names of God." Ezekiel 34:2-17; Psalm 23; John 10:6; Luke 15

Where is God when bad stuff happens? That's a question so many of us have asked ourselves when nothing's gone right, when someone has died, or when we've suffered a broken relationship. Jehovah Shalom means "the God of peace," and it describes the perfect balance in God's nature and the tranquility He can bring us. In this message, Jill teaches on how we can know God as our Jehovah Shalom, so we can know how to experience His peace in the midst of life's chaos. This is the 6th message in Jill's 8-message series "The Names of God."
