Worth Every Second

Jesus said in John 16:33, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” In this lesson, Jennifer teaches that learning how to persevere through trials is a blessing. Because we are able to learn so much in difficult circumstances, we can come to understand their value, experience peace in the midst of them and enter into a deeper relationship with Him.

Live Like It!

As women of faith, we need to look upon the finished work of Christ in order to gain clarity of the spiritual Truth of Scripture. Hebrews 12:2  is the verse that is the launching point of this discussion: “… looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

This lesson explores our identity in Christ. If we don’t know Jesus, we won’t understand who we are because of Him. If we don’t understand what His sacrifice on the cross did for us, we can’t live out our divine calling in order to fulfill His will for our lives. And if we don’t see who we are in Him, others won’t see Him through us.

Redemption

Have you ever felt as if you have done too many wrong things to ever be loved, accepted or forgiven by God?  In this encouraging lesson, Jennifer discusses the humanness in all of us, with the tendency to turn from Him again and again.  There are always consequences for this, yet we are encouraged in Ezra 10:2:  "But in spite of this, there is still hope [for Israel]" . 

Because God created you, you are loved; because of God's righteousness, you are accepted; and through repentance, you are forgiven. There is hope for all!

 

 

Decision-Making

In this lesson based on Deuteronomy 10-11, Jennifer shares a pointed message on making decisions that result in either blessings or adverse consequences. The most vital choice we'll ever need to make is where we'll spend eternity--either in the presence of our loving God or separated from Him.Because complacency has no place in a Christian's life, she challenges the hearers to "love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul..."  (10:12) 

You Are Beautiful!

Ecclesiastes 3:11 tells us "He has made everything beautiful in its time".  That includes YOU!! Do you have trouble believing that? If so, you aren’t alone! But God wants you to know that beauty is about so much more than what society often says it is!

This lesson, intended for ages 10 and up, incorporates powerful videos, visual tools and music to cover a variety of topics designed to help every girl and woman understand these truths:

* God loves you, just as you are

* You don’t need to do anything to earn His love

* God created you with a unique plan and purpose for your life

* He cares about every aspect of your life since He created it

Also discussed:

* Navigating social media properly

* Modesty in your dress, language and actions

* Misusing sexuality

* Choosing friends wisely

* Practical ways to apply the principles to your life

You will be strengthened and encouraged as you come to understand your true worth and value because learning how to  see yourself from God's perspective will help you to take control of the insecurities that plague so many girls and women! 

By finding your identity in who God says you are, you will become all He has created you to be.

** Event planners, please note: To hear the full message, a time frame of approximately 3 hours is needed.

Prevailing Peace

Who doesn't want peace? Usually we blame someone or something for stealing ours.  But in this lesson, Jennifer turns the tables and asks:  How bad do you want it?  What are you willing to do for it?  She teaches that strife and chaos need not be a constant in our lives.  Amidst every circumstance, it is possible to experience “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding...” (Philippians 4:7) but we must do our part.  She will teach what's required of us to enjoy this blessing and incorporates participation from her listeners.

Building A Life

Grace and mercy go hand in hand, particularly when we are faced with the shortcomings of others. 

In this lesson,  Jennifer discusses how quickly we can become judgmental of others, often ignoring our own sins and faults in the process.  Addressing this issue of pride, Jesus asks "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?" (Matthew 7:3) This message guides us in refocusing our thoughts so that we are  better equipped to avoid the snare of hypocrisy, apply God's principles and build--or rebuild--healthy relationships.

In order to become more like Jesus, we, too, must show grace and mercy to others, as He has shown to us.

S.O.S.

David cried out "Come quickly, Lord, and answer me..." (Psalm 143:7) Have you ever prayed for help and wondered why you aren’t receiving the answer you desire so deeply?  Have you sometimes felt that God just isn’t listening? You’re not alone.  In this lesson, Jennifer takes us through both the Old and the New Testaments,  reinforcing with Scripture how often God promises to rescue us from our troubles and that He is indeed listening- and answering- even if it isn't exactly how we expected.

Truth

Using an on-screen acrostic visual,  Jennifer teaches in this lesson that if we are going to call ourselves Christians, we must be sure  that we live according to God's Word and ways.  It is imperative that we  know the Truth of the Bible so that we don't blend in with society or water down the Gospel, as many are prone to do to suit their lifestyle.  We are to be "the salt of the earth" and "the light of the world" (Matthew 5: 13, 14) in order to be effective witnesses for Christ.  

Discipleship

In this lesson, Jennifer teaches that we must first understand what it really means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ  so that we can "go therefore and make disciples of all nations" (Matt. 28:19).  By breaking down the definition of a disciple, she uses four main points to teach her listeners what is necessary to  effectively spread the Gospel.
