We’re often tempted to live our lives out of our emotions where ugly things like frustration, anger, jealousy, and impatience rise to the surface. But love is patient. Love wins over difficult people. Love wins over unlovable people. But it’s never something we can do in our own strength.In this message, Jill Briscoe explores patience as an outpouring of love and why allowing God to teach us long-suffering will transform the gift of love we give to others into a kindness the world seldom sees.

Our greatest human need is love—to know we’re loved and able to give love in return. But in our broken world, some of us have been so hurt that we’ve lost the ability to receive and give love—from God and others.In this message, Jill Briscoe shows how God’s love is deeper, bigger, unconditional, and endless. It’s not a feeling but an action. And when we let the Holy Spirit heal us and work in us, we can once again become vulnerable enough to open our hearts to God’s love—and in turn reflect His love out to other people.

What’s a parent to do with a child in this day and age? What’s a child to do with a parent? The New Testament says that children are to obey their parents, for this is right. Parents are told not to “exasperate” their children (Eph. 6:3-4). That means don’t drive them up the wall! Instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Is this possible in this present evil age? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1141/29?v=20251111

Are you ever tempted to blame yourself for your suffering? Satan wants us to believe that hardships are punishment for our sin—but nothing could be further from the truth.

Words can sting. We’ve all, at some point, experienced the pain that comes from harsh criticism. So what do you do when you’ve been deeply hurt by the words of a stranger, an authoritative figure, or—worst of all—a loved one you greatly trust?Job experienced this, as his greatest comforters suddenly became his greatest critics. But what we see in Job’s story is how God can use criticism to teach us a valuable, life-changing lesson.

Will you stay faithful to God even when your world is crumbling around you? Suffering puts us in a vulnerable state for Satan’s attacks. He roams the earth, waiting to pounce until we’re weak and at our breaking point.We see this all throughout the book of Job. Satan prowls about, teases him, and uses individuals in Job’s life to criticize and hurt him. In this message, Jill teaches us how we can cope with Satan’s attacks and come out of the battle victorious.

Suffering can seem like an endless battle, because as soon as you get in it, you just want to get out. Hours, days, weeks, months, or even years can go by and you’re still asking, “How long, oh Lord?” So what do you do when you’re in a seemingly endless season of hardship?In this message, Jill shares how when we’re willing to wait out our seasons of suffering, God won’t let the time go to waste.

When trouble comes your way, are you quick to question it? Have you ever gone so far as to question God Himself? The world can tempt us into asking, How could a loving God let something so terrible happen? Have you ever found yourself pondering that question?Instead of questioning the character of God, Job willingly received suffering from God’s hands. But how was he able to accept the seemingly unacceptable? Jill shares how we can experience a transformation of attitude and move from a place of questioning God to a place of trusting God.

Scripture teaches that every good and perfect gift is from above—but would you ever think to see adversity as a gift from God? In the same way we receive good things from above, we should learn to accept trouble as well. But how can we do that?In this message, Jill answers that question by diving deep into Job's story and sharing how our eyes can be opened to see hardships—and God Himself—in a whole new way.

God came in Christ to offer us forgiveness through the cross. He rose again the third day and set about bringing the world back home. “Talk to me,” says the Father. “Prayer is the means; I have made a way.” But there is a problem—we don’t know how.
