The Ministry Family II: Marriage Partners

October 5, 2017

Balancing family and ministry is a challenge for all who are seeking to serve the Lord. How do we serve Him without burning out? Will children rebel if the parents get things out of sync? What is balance anyway, and how did Jesus balance His life? The Scriptures have principles that point us in the right direction, while the Holy Spirit helps us to put them into action.

Security comes with the confidence of knowing who you are and where you belong. In Ecclesiastes 4, we see Solomon mourning for the lost outside his palace gates as he watches them toil with the meaningless distractions of this world. Today, there are still millions of people walking around with the emptiness of not knowing God. And as this breaks the Lord's heart, it should move us to take action in sharing the Gospel.

If we are honest with ourselves, instant gratification is the driving force for many of our actions. But that pleasure soon fades. Jill brings us to Ecclesiastes 2 where Solomon puts this theory to the test in an effort to see what truly satisfies.

When you can’t feel God with your feelings, feel Him with your faith. There are plenty of times in life when we feel like God isn’t with us because we are focused on our emotions. These are the times when it is crucial to speak Scripture over our circumstances. Then we will find ourselves being lifted out of the pit.

In a world filled with “me-first” thinking, it’s natural to wonder if we matter to anyone. Who really cares about me? In Ecclesiastes 4, we get to see Solomon’s longing for significance in another’s life, which ultimately can only be satisfied by God. In this message, Jill uses an acrostic for W-I-S-D-O-M.

Is true peace possible? How can I feel deep tranquility inside? Jill points us to Jesus as she reads several verses that will help us feel held together when everything around us is chaotic.

Why are we here? Is there a purpose? We have a need to know the meaning of life because God has put eternity in the hearts of man. Jill leads us to various chapters in Ecclesiastes to help us make sense of it all.

In Psalm 71 we have a man in his middle years looking back, looking around, and looking forward. He is musing over some of his life lessons of faith and wisdom, seeking to finish strong. This is a good exercise for all of us... whatever age we are!

Jesus is coming again. He is coming soon... and we’d better be ready! Jill Briscoe boldly states this as she talks about the second coming of Christ. She explains the need to be alert and shares the joy in anticipating His return.

How can I know that I belong to the King and His kingdom? What characteristics should shine through my life? Jill gives us some examples of Christ-following traits in Luke chapter 10. This message is centered on the Good Samaritan—the man in the ditch.
