Chip explains how to teach children to work "unto the Lord." He challenges parents: Don't rob kids of growth. Teach responsibility, chores, timeliness, and finishing jobs.

Transferable Concept #2: Teach them to WORK unto the Lord.

A theology of work:

• Work is a CALLING, not a job
• All work is SACRED. -1 Cr. 10:31
• Our work is to flow from God’s unique design and PURPOSE for our lives. -Ep. 2:10, 1 Cr. 15:10
• Old Testament roots: Gen. 2:15
• Biblical profiles: Adam, Paul
• New Testament command: Col. 3:23

How to help them discover God's calling for their lives. Ask…

1. What's your unique S.H.A.P.E.?

• Spiritual gifts
• Heart
• Aptitude
• Personality
• Experience

2. Encourage them to get honest, WISE COUNSEL about who you are, where you fit, and how to move forward. -Pr. 24:6

3. Help them be willing to move out of their COMFORT ZONE to fulfill their divine purpose. -Hb. 11:6

James, the leader in Jerusalem, faced a world turned upside down. His message offers God's answer and resource for anyone facing crisis today.

The principle = “Don’t ask why, ask what.”

Three “what” questions survivors ask:

1. What can I control when my world falls apart?

2. What must I do to make it through today?

3. What hope do I have for tomorrow?

The answer = God’s sovereignty + goodness = He will take my worst circumstances and use them for my best if I will trust Him and not bail out of His spiritual maturity process.

I. The problem: sometimes we get “stuck” in our pain.

II. The solution: God promises help for those who are “stuck.” -Jas. 1:5-8

• God’s offer = supernatural WISDOM
• Our responsibility = to ASK
• God’s attitude when we come = OPEN & GENEROUS

III. The one condition: We receive God’s wisdom only when we “ask in faith, without any doubting.”

Conclusion: Four things you must do to get unstuck

1. Admit you’re stuck

2. Admit you can’t do it on your own

3. Ask God for supernatural wisdom

4. Be willing to do whatever God’s wisdom demands of you

What can turn a normal rational person into an out of control monster - destroying relationships, abusing children, spewing threats, and alienating lifelong friends? Join Chip as he reveals the source of that devastating power, and how to keep it under control.

Introduction: James 1:19-20

A look at anger from God’s perspective:

• Definition: Anger is neither good nor bad; it is a “charged,” morally neutral, emotional response of protective preservation.
• Positively – It can be a healthy emotion that motivates us to correct attitudes, behaviors, or injustices that we perceive to be wrong. -Eph 4:26-27
• Negatively – It can be an unhealthy and destructive emotional response to protect us from (real or perceived) hurt, frustration, or personal attack. -Pro. 19:19; 22:24; 29:22

Anger wears many masks: We EXPRESS our ANGER in such a wide variety of ways that many people assume anger is not an issue in their life.

• Spewers: Anger is necessary – They’re exploding or calculating time bombs
• Stuffers: Anger is wrong – They deny and avoid OR pretend and ignore
• Leakers: Showing anger is wrong – They’re passive-aggressive

Chip relates the most fearful encounter with demons he ever faced and how you can prepare yourself to do battle with the Enemy.

Four facts you need to know

1. God has objectively defeated Satan. He has delivered us from sin’s penalty and power. In the interim, we are involved in guerilla warfare with demonic forces.
2. As believers, we have been transferred from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of light with all the rights, privileges, and position a child of God entails.
3. The spiritual battle involves a responsibility to “put on” the spiritual protection God has provided. We can resist the enemy’s attempts to deceive, accuse, and cast doubt when we stand firm.
4. The great majority of spiritual warfare need never go beyond the regular practice of living out our position in Christ by faith. Our practice of the spiritual armor protects us from Satan’s attempts and minimizes any impact by the enemy.

There are times however, when we must move beyond “standing firm” and ENGAGE the enemy in actual combat

• When taking significant steps of faith for spiritual growth
• When invading enemy territory
• When exposing him for who he really is
• When we repent and make a “clean break” with the world, a long-held sin pattern, or an unholy relationship
• When God is preparing us for a “great work” for His glory

How to engage the enemy and win:

1. Taking up the shield of FAITH
2. Take the helmet of SALVATION
3. Take the sword of the SPIRIT

Summary: How to engage the enemy in spiritual warfare

1. Prerequisite is a HEALTHY spiritual life
2. Understand your POSITION in Christ
3. DISCERN when demonic influence may be the cause
4. Claim God’s promises OUT LOUD
5. Take our authority and position in Christ to COMMAND demonic forces to cease their activity and depart

Demons, Satan, and the powers of darkness are real and at work. Do you know how to recognize and combat them? Chip begins "The Invisible War" with an overview of who the Enemy is and how they operate.

• GENERAL Command (Eph. 6:10) “Allow yourself to be continually strengthened by the power already made available to you in your new position and relationship with Christ.” It is the power that raised Christ from the dead and now dwells in you.
• SPECIFIC Command (Eph. 6:11) How? By continually and repeatedly putting on, at specific points in time, the spiritual protection God has provided for you... for the express purpose of holding on to your position in Christ as you are bombarded by Satanic strategies designed to destroy you and/or render you ineffective in Kingdom pursuits.
• The REASON for Commands (Eph. 6:12) It’s because our real struggle is not against physical/material adversaries, but against a hierarchy of demonic forces doing battle in the spiritual realm.

Five basic truths about spiritual warfare:

1. There is an INVISIBLE world that is just as real as the visible world.
2. We are involved in an invisible WAR, a cosmic conflict that has eternal implications.
3. Our foe is FORMIDABLE and his goal is to destroy us and discredit the cause of Christ.
4. We must RESPECT our foe, but not FEAR him – become acutely aware of his “methods,” but not be preoccupied by them.
5. As believers in Christ, we do not fight “for” victory, we fight “FROM” victory. In Christ’s power we are invincible!

Summary:

1. Satan is a DEFEATED foe. -Jn 12:31
2. Jesus DESTROYED the work of the devil. -Col 2:14-15
3. We are VICTORS in Christ. -1 Cor 15:55-58
4. We have the POWER and resources to resist Satan and demonic attacks. -1 Jn 4:4
5. We must LEARN how to put on the “full armor of God” to experience in daily living the victory we already possess. -Eph 6:13-17

Have you ever forgiven someone who hurt you, only to have resentful feelings begin to fester a short time later? How does that scenario change when it is your spouse who caused you pain? In this program, Chip explains why forgiveness is a powerful skill couples need to harness. Learn about the dangers of unresolved conflict in relationships and the freedom that comes when you genuinely say, “I forgive you.”

Introduction:

• The foundation of a great family begins with a deep, intimate marriage.

Three skills for a great marriage:

• Skill #1: FORGIVING
• Skill #2: COMMUNICATION
• Skill #3: RESOLVING CONFLICT

Forgiveness – What it’s not and what it is:

• Forgiveness is NOT a quick fix or an excuse to be a “doormat” by repeatedly accepting hurtful behavior without addressing the root issues
• Forgiveness IS a spiritual discipline that involves three distinct parts:

1. It’s a DECISION
2. It’s a PROCESS
3. It actually is ACCOMPLISHED

The parable of the unforgiving servant:

• Matthew 18:21-35

Three-part method for forgiveness:

1. Act: Choose to forgive.
2. Process: Actively pray and bless the person with your words and actions.
3. Accomplished: The true test of forgiveness is when you can genuinely rejoice in the other person’s success and well-being.

There is no shortage of great podcasts, popular books, and helpful resources to help you strengthen your marriage. But in this program, Chip explains that there’s one simple discipline that, if you commit to it, you will transform your relationship. Listen in to learn what this fundamental habit is and the steps you can follow to make it a daily priority in your life.

Introduction:

God’s original design:

• Marriage was created as a sacred stewardship to reflect the unity and love of the Trinity.

Satan’s agenda:

• To destroy or pervert marriage by telling lies that make it self-centered

Foundational Marriage Truths

Foundational truth #1:

• In my own strength, I am INCAPABLE of being the husband of wife God calls me to be. Therefore, my first priority for a successful marriage is my own vibrant DAILY walk with God. By His Word and His Spirit in community with fellow believers God will give me ALL I need to become a loving and godly husband or wife.

Key verses:

• 2 Peter 1:3-4
• Galatians 2:20

The BIO Acronym:

• B: Before God Daily
• I: In community
• O: On mission

Foundational truth #2:

• I will CHOOSE to love my mate by God’s power and grace in all circumstances. Love is giving another person what they NEED the most, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.

Key verse:

• 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
