I Choose Hope - Pursuing Hope, Part 127 Jun 202500:26:30

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

I Choose Love - Love Obeys, Part 113 Jun 202500:25:21

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

I Choose Love - Love Serves, Part 212 Jun 202500:27:18

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

Join Chip and author Jennie Allen as they discuss her passion for uniting the global church to reach the lost and what you can do to make a difference.

Main Points Key Takeaways:
  • The vision of Gather25: A 25-hour global event uniting Christians worldwide in prayer, worship, repentance, and sharing stories of God's work.
  • The urgency of the Great Commission: With billions still unreached with the gospel, the Church needs to unite and work together to fulfill Christ's command.
  • The importance of personal spiritual health: Before we can effectively impact the world for Christ, we need to address our own spiritual needs and walk in freedom.
  • The power of confession: Confessing our sins and struggles to God and trusted others breaks the enemy's power and leads to healing and wholeness.
Highlights:
  • 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.

  • A guided exercise in confession and reflection, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our need for God and sharing our struggles with others.

I Choose Love - Love Serves, Part 111 Jun 202500:28:19

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

Good to Great in God's Eyes - Make Great Sacrifices, Part 231 Dec 202400:31:07

Want to become great in God’s eyes? In this message, you’ll learn why sacrifice and greatness go hand in hand.

Main Points Introduction: Pondering the Power of “Sacrifice”

Great sacrifices, even in movies, art, music, or athletics produce a profound and almost inexplicable emotional and spiritual response.

  • We admire those who make great sacrifices.
  • We enshrine those who make great sacrifices.
  • We honor those who make great sacrifices.
  • We reward those who make great sacrifices.
  • We seek to emulate those who make great sacrifices.

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?

Answer – Sacrifice is the clearest and greatest evidence of the extent of one’s love and devotion toward a person, a cause, or a thing. --John 15:13
  • In short, sacrifice is “the arrow” that points toward who or what we worship (ascribe worth, importance, value to).
I. Understanding Biblical sacrifice and worship:
  • 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
II. What motivates great Christians to make great sacrifices?
  • They grasp God’s unconditional love.
  • They embrace God’s relational economy.
  • They trust God’s eternal goodness.
  • They recognize God’s sovereign ownership.
III. Next steps to becoming great in God’s eyes:
  • 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?
Conclusion – Sacrifice is merely “love with clothes on.”
  • Where there is great love there will always be great sacrifices.

Peace on Earth - Fear Not, The Good News is Here24 Dec 202400:30:53

“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.

Main Points Fear manifests in various ways:
  • Anxiety
  • Worry
  • Anger
  • Driven-ness
“Fear not” to the shepherds --Luke 2:8-20
  • Good news for all people – Jesus came
  • Peace is here
  • Jesus fulfilled prophecy --Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9
Question: Are you experiencing that genuine peace?

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.

The solution: You need more of Jesus
  • 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.
