For many, finding hope in success, fame, or wealth has proven futile. For others, hope in a person has proved disappointing and painful. So, if you're looking for hope that actually delivers, where do you look? Join Chip to find out.

Introduction: Spirituality and the pursuit of hope

• For many, finding and experiencing lasting HOPE in external success, rewards, fame, and wealth have proved futile.
• For others, seeking lasting HOPE in a person or persons has proved painful and disappointing.
• As a result, the vast majority of people on the earth (all non-atheists) seek lasting HOPE via some pathway to spiritual development and maturity.

Question: How do we pursue HOPE in a world filled with pseudo-spirituality?

The Answer: Philippians 3:12-16

3 Takeaways concerning spiritual maturity:

1. Spiritual maturity does not mean we are PERFECT (or will ever be in this life).Philippians 3:12
2. Spiritual maturity does mean our lives are characterized by a PASSIONATE PURSUIT of knowing and becoming like Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14
3. Spiritual maturity does mean our lives will exhibit significant SPIRITUAL PROGRESS within and without.Philippians 3:15-16

Scripture tells us those who love God are those who obey His commands. Chip poses two critical questions when we talk about obedience: What can we expect from God? and What does God expect from us? Join Chip for the answers.

Introduction: Our expectations powerfully shape…

• Our relationships
• Our responses

Two critical questions:

1. What can we expect from God?
2. What does God expect from us?

How do we “work out” what God has “worked in”?

• The command: Be a grateful servant! -Philippians 2:14
• The purpose: Be a godly servant! -Philippians 2:15a
• The result: Be a bold servant! -Philippians 2:15b-16a
• The motive: Be a joyful servant! -Philippians 16b-18

Have you ever been genuinely amazed by something? Maybe it was a stunning sunrise or a sky filled with stars. In this program, Chip studies what it means to "behold the beauty of the Lord" and why this awareness can free you from the grip of fear. Hear how nurturing a sense of awe and wonder will change your perspective and empower you to live with more courage.

Psalm 27:1-3

• You can feel afraid – that’s just an emotion – and choose not to respond to that feeling, but to act instead in a way that makes a difference, that is brave.
• That word when we feel afraid and, yet, we act in the confidence of God, that’s called courage.

• The source of David’s confidence, despite danger, war, and odds was focus and passion.
• David’s intimate knowledge of God’s character flowed from his personal worship and it transformed his perspective.

• David prays specifically and practically.
• David’s basis: 1. I want You to answer me because when You told me what to do, I was obedient in the past. | 2. Please don’t forsake me and turn me away. | 3. Lord, I want you to know that if You don’t help, no one else will either.

• David’s prayer was two-fold: Don’t just deliver me, but bring me into a deeper relationship with You.

• David was tempted to be afraid, but he declared, “I will not fear,” because the Lord was his light and deliverer.
• Wait = Where is your hope? Where is your confidence?

In our pursuit of greatness in God's eyes, we tend to imagine following Jesus into ever-increasing, upward levels of maturity. In this program, Chip poses the fascinating premise that we actually follow Jesus, descending into greatness.

How do we measure greatness?

• Power = Who and what we control
• Possessions = What and how much we own
• Position = Our rank in the pecking order
• Prestige = Who and how many “look up” to us
• Productivity = What and how much we accomplish

How do we obtain greatness?

• Two pathways to greatness: Ascending and descending
• True greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4

How do you experience true greatness?

• One word = Humility (Humility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God’s love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.)

How to be authentically humble:

1. Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5
2. We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6
3. We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7
4. We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8
5. We experience the reward of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11

• Jennie's journey from IF:Gathering to the birth of Gather25, inspired by a dream and a desire to mobilize the global Church.
• The importance of unity and collaboration among Christians despite differing viewpoints on secondary issues.

In this program, Chip reveals five ways we typically measure greatness. But as with any scale, we always want to know whether the scale is accurate. From Philippians, Chapter 2, Chip explains how true greatness is achieved.

How do we measure greatness?

• Power = Who and what we control
• Possessions = What and how much we own
• Position = Our rank in the pecking order
• Prestige = Who and how many “look up” to us
• Productivity = What and how much we accomplish

How do we obtain greatness?

• Two pathways to greatness: Ascending and descending
• True greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4

How do you experience true greatness?

• One word = Humility (Humility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God’s love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.)

How to be authentically humble:

1. Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5
2. We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6
3. We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7
4. We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8
5. We experience the reward of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11

Why? – What is this mystical union and soul connection we subconsciously make when we witness a great sacrifice for a noble cause, or a personal relationship?

• In short, sacrifice is “the arrow” that points toward who or what we worship (ascribe worth, importance, value to).

• Lessons from Leviticus: Chapters 1-10
• Lessons from the life of Abraham: Genesis 22
• Lessons from the teachings of Jesus: Luke 14:25-35
• Lessons from the Apostle Paul: Romans 12:1

• They grasp God’s unconditional love.
• They embrace God’s relational economy.
• They trust God’s eternal goodness.
• They recognize God’s sovereign ownership.

• Have you surrendered your whole life to Christ as a living and holy sacrifice?
• Are you growing in loving God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength?

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” We are all familiar with that verse, but what does it look like to live with the peace God promises? In this program, guest teacher Tim Lundy takes us to Luke chapter 2 and the angel's stunning announcement to some humble shepherds. Discover how this declaration of joy and hope can transform your experience of Christmas—and bring lasting peace into your everyday life.

• Anxiety
• Worry
• Anger
• Driven-ness

• Good news for all people – Jesus came
• Peace is here
• Jesus fulfilled prophecy --Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9

The problem: We often take the command “fear not” and try to address it without the promise. We can’t do anything on our own.

• Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
• You want to be filled with Jesus, then pray.
• Seek His Kingdom.
• Connect with His Church and His Word.
