Used by God

If you have little children in your life, you may have heard of "teachable moments." That's when you take an ordinary occurrence and tie it to a bigger, more important lesson. In this message, Jill shares how Jesus never missed a teachable moment, and we have the opportunity to use them to share Christ.

References: Isaiah 50:4-8

Gale force winds can come at any time and in any season. Sometimes storm clouds warn of their imminent arrival, but other times you wake up surprised by the strong gusts that have pushed in under the cover of darkness.  But what about when the storms aren't outside your window, but inside your life? Where should you turn? One place to find the answer is in the book of Isaiah, one of Jill's favorite books in the Bible. Jill teaches about the character of God by sharing how He cared for the Israelites and Isaiah, but she also shares practical stories from her many years of ministry to illustrate God's promise to shelter us when things get difficult.

Have you lost your joy? It can be hard when life is swirling around you and beating you down, but true joy is found in praising God for who He is and what He's doing, even when you can't see it.

In many of the remaining monarchies, the kings and queens are much beloved by their people, but they have very little real power. Sadly, many believers relate to Jesus the same way. They proclaim Jesus to be King of Kings and the Lord of their lives, but they make all the decisions! When we let Christ truly reign, amazing things happen.

Some of the most well-known Bible characters had bad days—just as we do. No matter what your struggle may be today—depression, low self-esteem, bitterness, disappointment, anger, jealousy, weariness, even a lost will to live—there is a person in the Bible who felt those exact same feelings. Jill takes us through this familiar story to reveal the Father's heart.

One of the hardest things in life is facing rejection, especially when it comes from someone we love. We, like Leah, might keep striving, struggling, and manipulating to earn acceptance from our loved one. We may feel alone, but God sees and hears what we endure.  In this message, Jill walks us through Leah's struggle with rejection and shows us the God who saw, heard, and loved Leah through it all.

We all get tired sometimes. And sometimes in our tiredness we get to a point where we, like Elijah, say “I’ve had enough, Lord.” Where do we go once we’ve reached that point? How can we find refreshment and get moving again? In this message, Jill uses Elijah’s story to teach us that God alone can refresh us just as He did for Elijah.

What does your daily schedule look like? Is it full of errands and events? Sometimes we become workaholics and worriers, filling our days with too many tasks and constant concerns about things we can’t control rather than taking time to focus on the most important thing of all. In this message, Jill uses the example of Martha to show us instead how Jesus would want us to fill our time.

Life can be rough. Bad things happen. It’s easy to take those bad things and walk down the road of bitterness where our relationships with friends and family suffer. In this message, Jill tells us how Naomi’s experiences made her an empty, bitter woman, but she got back on track with the help of her daughter-in-law Ruth and became a full, better woman.

Ever have those prayers that God doesn’t seem to be answering? We all have dreams and longings—sometimes they go unfulfilled. We wonder, “Where is God in my pain? Does He even hear me?” In this message, Jill uses the example of Hannah and her desire for a child to teach us that God does indeed hear us.

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!
