The Well

It’s one thing to worship God individually—but it’s quite another to join with other believers to lift up the name of Christ. On this episode of Know The Truth, Philip De Courcy talks about the importance and the blessing of congregational worship.

Join Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd today as they discuss the powerful opportunity parents have to shape their teens’ hearts and direction through intentional one-on-one time. Mark reminds parents that the teen years are brief, and busy schedules can cause us to miss moments we may later regret. Regular, judgment-free time spent listening, asking questions, and showing compassion builds trust and makes parents a safe place for their teens. That influence can guide teens toward wisdom, faith and purpose for the rest of their lives.

We live in the information age. Facts and figures fly at us faster than we can absorb. And opinions, suppositions, rumors and innuendos come screaming at us from every form of media – especially social media. Where do we find an escape? Today on A NEW BEGINNING, Pastor Greg Laurie points out our respite is right in the pages of God’s Word. Not only do we find solace, we find the soothing salve of Scripture. This is one of our most requested messages.

What situation in your life looks insurmountable right now? A marriage heading for the rocks? A child breaking your heart? A doctor’s report with the word “Cancer” written on it? What circumstance in your life is so big, so overwhelming, so difficult that it looks impossible to conquer? Chip helps us discover how to unleash God’s power into our impossible situations.

Five questions about breakthrough:

1. What is a breakthrough?

Three key definitions:

• An offensive thrust that penetrates and carries beyond a defensive line in warfare.
• An act or instance of breaking through a barrier.
• A sudden advance.

2. Is there a biblical pattern for breakthrough?

• Great need
• Great sin
• Great bondage
• God's compassion
• God's judgment
• God delivers

3. How did Jesus teach His disciples to experience and be agents of breakthrough?

• Announce the “Good News!” -Mark 1
• Defeat evil
• Bring healing
• Lead by example

4. Is there historical precedent that breakthrough can happen in our day?

• The entire book of Acts
• List of Church-Age believers

5. How do you experience the first step of breakthrough?

• BELIEVE that God is good.
• EMBRACE that it’s God’s will to do the impossible in you and through you.

Assignment:
