Weathering the Storms of Life, Part 2

Weathering the Storms of Life, Part 2

Life is full of squalls—sudden unannounced and unexpected storms that can lead us to question if God is in control of our lives. Death, sickness, unemployment, broken relationships, fears and failures are some of the troubles Satan uses to swamp us with doubt, usually when we’re already stressed and exhausted.How do you respond when you’re hit with the squalls of life? Are you like the disciples in Mark 4 who wondered why Jesus slept while their boat was sinking, or do you believe God is in as much control when He’s seemingly asleep as when He’s obviously awake? Do you pray, “Don’t let there be another squall”? Or do you see storms as part of God’s plan for your life?Teaching from the Gospel of Mark, Jill Briscoe addresses the issues of suffering and faith, challenging us to examine our beliefs in God in the midst of trouble.

A Brighter Day Tomorrow

God allows us freedom to choose how we live, but He doesn’t allow us to choose the consequences of our decisions. That’s the painful lesson we see the people of Judah live through as they are under siege with rampant famine and plague. In such dire circumstances, is it possible to live with hope that God will ever restore His people?In this message, Stuart Briscoe explores the purpose for God’s plan in allowing Judah to be taken over by foreign rule.

A Letter to Souls in Exile

Jeremiah never wanted to be a prophet. It broke his heart and endlessly frustrated him that the people of Judah would not heed his warnings of impending judgment. Even more heartbreaking for Jeremiah was living to see all that he warned about come to pass.But even as Judah is overtaken, we see that Jeremiah’s work is not yet done as he moves from a message of warning to a message of encouragement. But is it even possible to encourage a people who didn’t trust God in the first place to now trust Him during troubled times?

The Potter's House

Though the prophet Jeremiah stays on message and warns the people of Judah about God’s coming judgment, they ignore him and outright reject God’s offer of forgiveness, repentance, and reconciliation. What happens when the people of a nation want nothing to do with God and decide to do things their own way?In this message, Stuart Briscoe examines the people of Judah as they shake their fists at God and refuse to allow Him to mold them into the nation He wants them to be.
