But when David faced Goliath, God was the champion. God fought for the one He loved, just as He will fight for us when we're overwhelmed, because He loves us. In this message, Jill teaches us that God is our rescuer. That doesn't mean He will always rescue us from physical hardships or discomfort, but He will rescue us from sin, and its consequences. He will rescue us from Satan's schemes, from fear, and from ourselves.

But he wrote with the knowledge that Gods love brings comfort, encouragement, freshness, and life to those who pant after Him. In this message, 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.

Death, sickness, unemployment, broken relationships, fears and failures are some of the troubles Satan uses to swamp us with doubt, usually when were already stressed and exhausted. How do you respond when youre 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 Hes seemingly asleep as when Hes obviously awake? Do you pray, Dont let there be another squall? Or do you see storms as part of Gods 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.

He Promised Me

God promised to bring a new covenant to His people through Davids line, a covenant that would bring an eternity where there are no broken promises. In this message, we learn of Gods faithfulness in His grand promises. We can trust His promises because they are based on His unfailing love!
