In Bible times, every seven years all slaves had the chance to go free. If they chose to stay with their masters, they would be taken to the public market and a peg was put through one of the slave's ears to mutilate the ear. That way he would be "marked" as a slave who loved his master and did not want to go free. We are called to serve God as willing slaves. Do you consider yourself "marked" for God? In this message, Jill explores God as our Adonai, or master, to help us understand how we can serve God better. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29

We learn in Scripture how God wrestled Jacob to the ground one night and turned him upside downso he could live right-side up. Jacob became a prince with God instead of a pain. When we’re suffering the consequences of our own poor choices; when we’re bearing the brunt of someone’s vengeance and anger; when we feel absolutely on our own and life is not working out as planned, that’s when God will turn up. He wants to walk down the stairway of heaven right into our hearts to make us aware of His personal interest and concern.

In 2 Kings 4, there’s a story about a widow who has run out of options on how to pay her creditors. She’s facing the real possibility that she will lose both of her young sons to slavery, as a means of paying her debt. This desperate woman is out of money, out of hope, and out of faith. She’s angry at God for the situation she’s facing with seemingly no way out. Have you ever felt that way? How do you find peace when your faith is completely out of focus? When the sheer weight of the moment has blinded you to the Holy Spirit at work on your behalf? Jill Briscoe’s message, A Little Pot of Oil, will remind you that God is sufficient. And you have all you need when you have all of Him in all you. This teaching is also available in Jill’s book A Little Pot of Oil.

Have you planned your funeral? Few of us have. We like to think of death as something far off in the future.

We live in a culture that encourages greed. We feel the need to "keep up with the Joneses" and own things that we don't necessarily want or need.

How do you approach crisis? Many of us see crisis as a dead end, when, in reality, it’s a crossroads, presenting both danger and opportunity. Opportunity for what? To see what God alone can do with the most impossible situations. In this message, Jill Briscoe shares how the miracle of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus can change how you respond to crisis. We learn the same power that raised Christ from the dead lives in us and works in us! At the completion of the message, Jill expresses Christ’s sacrifice through her poem You Wore My Thorns.

"On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: 'Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.'"

But something happened that energized these people, gave them power to speak and do things as they never could have before!

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." It's no secret that all of us will die in the end. Even Jesus died!
