The Road to Joy, Part 2

Stuart Briscoe We have an insatiable desire to control and manipulate what happens around usall in pursuit of achieving happiness. But the truth is we have very little control of what’s happening around us, and hence little chance of finding the happiness that eludes us.

In this message, Stuart teaches from Nehemiah, where we learn where to find stability, security, and well-beingand discover where God wants us to focus our minds so we can rejoice and be glad, even in uncertain days.

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’s message will remind you that God is sufficient.

Never Give Up

Stuart Briscoe A casual reading of the parable of the widow and the judge might suggest that Jesus was saying if we go on asking God to do what we want, He will give in eventually and we will get our own way! A careful study of Luke 18:1-14 presents a very different picture. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/508/29

Searching for Security

Security comes with the confidence of knowing who you are and where you belong. In Ecclesiastes 4, we see Solomon mourning for the lost outside his palace gates as he watches them toil with the meaningless distractions of this world. Today, there are still millions of people walking around with the emptiness of not knowing God. And as this breaks the Lord's heart, it should move us to take action in sharing the Gospel.
