What are the sick to do? What are the elders to do? What does God promise to do? What sin or other conditions might qualify God's promise to heal? God's general application for physical health is James 5:16-18 What is the presumed relationship between sin and sickness in this passage? What are we all told to do regularly for our health? What kind of prayer has healing impact? Who qualifies to be heard by God for healing and the miraculous? Conclusion: Getting the "Big Picture" on healing. Three biblical models of healing: The intervention of God. --Acts 3:1-9 The interaction of God. --1 Timothy 5:23 The enabling of God. --2 Corinthians 12:9-10 Miraculous healing is never primarily about solving a physical problem – it is almost always to affirm, or clarify, or deliver a person.

Resolve to trust Him. | Examples to follow when you feel "bad" due to: | Depression, doubt, circumstances. --Psalm 13 | Guilt, shame, sin. --Psalm 38 | Persecution, adversity. --Psalm 56 | Injustice, "raw deal." --Psalm 73 Question #2: What kind of prayers fill our emotional reservoir?

Lord, I want you to know that if You don’t help, no one else will either. Psalm 27:11-12 David’s prayer was two-fold: Don’t just deliver me, but bring me into a deeper relationship with You. Psalm 27:13-14 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?

When you hear the word revival, you might think of the spiritual movements from the past, like the Great Awakening. But next in this program, you will discover how God still works that way today. 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. The need for urgency in fulfilling the Great Commission, recognizing that many are perishing without Christ. The role of technology and organizations like illumiNations in reaching the unreached with the gospel. Jennie's emphasis on her own "ordinariness" and the fact that God can use anyone who is willing to say "yes" to Him. A guided exercise in confession and reflection, emphasizing the importance of recognizing our need for God and sharing our struggles with others.

A Conversation with Jennie Allen - Next Gen. Collegiates Meet Jesus

Amidst a wave of negativity and despair regarding how to reach today’s youth with the gospel, this program offers a refreshing perspective. Chip and author Jennie Allen will inspire listeners to take a more proactive approach, urging everyone to engage in the vital work of discipling the next generation. Rather than fostering criticism, they will invite you to become part of the solution and make a meaningful impact in the lives of young people.Main Points Key Takeaways: Gen Z is open to the gospel: Despite the trends of young people leaving the church, Jennie has witnessed firsthand their hunger for hope and willingness to embrace Jesus. Confession and repentance are powerful: Jennie shares how confession breaks down barriers and allows people to experience true freedom and receive the gospel. The Church's role in discipleship: Events like IF:Gathering and Unite can introduce people to Christ, but the local church plays a vital role in providing ongoing discipleship and spiritual formation for the next generation. Discipleship is more than programs: True discipleship involves intentional relationships, modeling a godly life, and guiding young people in their understanding of the Bible. Highlights: Jennie's experience leading a revival in a maximum-security women's prison and seeing a radical transformation in the inmates' lives. The importance of addressing shame and offering grace to a generation struggling with various challenges. The power of confession to break strongholds and prepare hearts for the gospel. The Unite ministry and its impact on secular college campuses, with thousands of students attending events and many making decisions for Christ. The need for Christians to be actively involved in discipling young people through mentoring, sharing their faith journey, and providing biblical guidance. Call to Action: Get involved in discipleship: Every Christian has a responsibility to invest in the lives of young people and help them grow in their faith.

Good to Great in God's Eyes - Make Great Sacrifices, Part 2

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.

Good to Great in God's Eyes - Dream Great Dreams, Part 1

God is looking for ordinary people to do extraordinary things for Him. Do you believe that? It’s true. But in order to move this from your head to your heart, you need to take one very important step. Chip reveals what that step is. Don’t miss it!Main Points Thesis: God delights… to do IMPOSSIBLE things… through IMPROBABLE people… to IMPART exceeding grace… to UNDESERVING recipients. Practice: Dream Great Dreams! I. How does God do it? He invites ordinary people to dream something so great that it would be impossible if God did not do it. The basis of sanctified dreaming: God is able. --Jeremiah 32:17; Luke 1:37 God is desirous. --1 Corinthians 2:9 God has promised. --Psalm 37:4 God invites us. --Psalm 2:8; John 14:12-14 II. How God births dreams in His people? Abram – He commands us to step out of our “comfort zone.” Joseph – He puts a dream within our heart. Moses – He allows us to fail in our attempt to accomplish His dreams in our own power. David – He teaches us through adversity to love the “Dream-giver” more than “the dreams.” Paul – He clarifies our calling in times of crisis and often uses our worst failures as the platform of His future fulfillment. Jesus – The dream will cost us our life and appear to others as the height of folly just before God accomplishes the impossible through us. III. How to develop bite-sized dreams for...
