The Me Trap
May 26, 2016
When little troubles appear in our lives, we can be surprised and wonder why God would allow such things to happen to us. Such thinking reveals that we may have fallen into the "Me Trap": Satan tempts us with "easy cheese" promising an easy life. But God never promised that life would be comfortable!
In this message, Jill Briscoe shows us how the troubles and pain in our lives are actually a way God molds us into Christ-like people. This is the 1st teaching from Jill's 5-message series, Entrapment: Overcoming Temptations Women Face, based on the Book of James.

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 from Ecclesiastes 4 to discuss being vulnerable in our relationships and how friendship can deeply impact our lives.
This message is included in two different series: The Heart and Soul of Friendship and Healing Broken Relationships.

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?
This message 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 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 you, and help people grow strong roots in their faith.
This is the third message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

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.
This is the second message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

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.
This is the first message in Jill's series, Roll Up Your Sleeves and Sow, and it's based on the parable found in Mark 4:1-20, Luke 8:1-15, and Matthew 13:1-23.

Being in a valley isn't proof that God has left us or that He doesn't care. God is our shepherd. He is leading us, protecting and correcting us. This is how we know God's love for us, through his action in our lives.
In the final installment of Jill's 8-message series God’s Love for Us, we learn that God's rod corrects us, like He corrected David after his sin with Bathsheba, but His staff comforts us through these corrections. Loving discipline shows God's love for us.
Psalm 23
May 18, 2016
At times, we may feel useless, uncreative, ungifted, and unfit to do God's work. But simply by the fact that God has brought us into a redemptive relationship with Him, we can be encouraged that He has gifted us! The Holy Spirit is our gift; He is our anointing to do the good works that God has prepared in advance for us to do.
He Gifts Me, the seventh message of Jill Briscoe's series God’s Love for Us, assures us that God has gifted us and God will see us through the tasks He set before us. We can say, as David says, "He has exalted me by helping me to know Him."
II Samuel 23
May 17, 2016
No sin is bigger than God's forgiveness and mercy. There will be consequences for sin, but the love of God is the kind of unconditional love that shows mercy when the object of its love lies prostrate and repentant. David learned this when he sinned against God with Bathsheba, he learned the weight of guilt. He also learned that God's mercy is an attribute of His unfailing love.
In the sixth message of the series God's Love for Us, Jill Briscoe teaches us the importance of letting God love us by letting Him forgive us.
Psalm 103:4
May 16, 2016
When trials and suffering come, where do we turn? We ought to turn to God, the God of all comfort. Suffering in this life is inevitable. David knew that. He wrote his psalms about that. But he wrote with the knowledge that God's love brings comfort, encouragement, freshness, and life to those who pant after Him.
In the fifth message of Jill Briscoe's series God's Love for Us, Jill points us to the many resources for encouragement that God has already given us: His Holy Spirit, His word, and His people. God beckons us to bring encouragement to those around us.
Psalm 119:52
May 13, 2016
When man makes promises, he rarely follows through. God, on the other hand, can make promises the size of eternity, and He always follows through! God promised David that He would give him a throne that would never pass away. God promised to bring a new covenant to His people through David's line, a covenant that would bring an eternity where there are no broken promises.
In the fourth of Jill Briscoe's series God's Love for Us, we learn of God's faithfulness in His grand promises. We can trust His promises because they are based on His unfailing love!
Psalms 41 & 73-76
