• What the World Needs Now - Radical Mercy-Givers, Part 1
    Nov 8 2024

    In a day when injustice of every kind is being called out - “That’s wrong, it’s not fair, something has to change and it has to change now!” - it’s clear that something inside us demands justice. In this program, Chip continues in the book of Matthew, to explain Jesus’ teaching and His plan for justice to prevail.

    Main Points
    • The fundamental problem in the world is…Life’s not fair!
    • The fundamental problem in our lives is…We don’t measure up!
    Jesus’ final and most outrageous teaching:
    • The law of retribution --- Matthew 5:38-42
    • The law of love --- Matthew 5:39-48
    We are never more like Jesus than when we treat people in a way they don’t deserve. Broadcast Resource

  • What the World Needs Now - Humble Bridge-Builders, Part 2
    Nov 7 2024

    In a global atmosphere of division and rancor, how do Christians live like Christians? How do we express love and concern, and overcome even our own anger and bitterness? In this program, Chip tells us, apart from the saving grace and sovereign influence of Jesus, nothing of lasting value can happen. From the book of Matthew and Jesus’ own teaching, Chip reveals the path to becoming a relational bridge-builder, regardless of our circumstances.

    Main Points Topic #1 - The 6th Commandment
    • No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21
    • No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22
    • Jesus' application:
    • The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time.
    • The parable of urgency: delayed obedience will result in dire consequences.
    • Steps to humble bridge-building:
      1. Do you have anger, bitterness, or resentment toward anyone, past or present?
      2. Have you murdered anyone in your heart or with your lips?
      3. Will you confess this sin right now and receive God’s full forgiveness?
      4. Can you think of anyone who might feel angry or resentful towards you? Will you commit to make that relationship right “as far as it depends on you”?
      5. Will you STOP and thank God for His love and kindness and blessings in your life right now?

  • What the World Needs Now - Humble Bridge-Builders, Part 1
    Nov 6 2024

    Division, hate, and violence, don’t start with words. They begin in the heart. The disunity we see happening in our country and around the world - in homes, on the streets, and in the media - is ultimately caused by a driving force who’s aim is for that disunity to prevail. Scripture tells us our battle isn’t against flesh and blood. So, how do we become humble bridge-builders in the midst of the conflict? Chip addresses that in this program.

    Main Points Topic #1 - The 6th Commandment
    • No murder by violent hands - Matthew 5:21
    • No murder by angry hearts or lethal lips - Matthew 5:22

    • Jesus' application:
    • The parable of priority: right relationships trump religious requirements every time.
    • The parable of urgency: delayed obedience will result in dire consequences.

    • Steps to humble bridge-building:
      1. Do you have anger, bitterness, or resentment toward anyone, past or present?
      2. Have you murdered anyone in your heart or with your lips?
      3. Will you confess this sin right now and receive God’s full forgiveness?
      4. Can you think of anyone who might feel angry or resentful towards you? Will you commit to make that relationship right “as far as it depends on you”?

  • What the World Needs Now - Authentic Difference-Makers, Part 2
    Nov 5 2024

    These days, there are plenty of causes and no shortage of agendas. Experts are everywhere and everyone’s got an opinion. In this program, Chip asks: What’s Jesus’ opinion about what’s happening and what’s His expert advice? Don’t miss His answers.

    Main Points Overview of Matthew 5:
    • 3-12: The characteristics of His true followers and their promised rewards
    • 13-16: Salt and light: The movement’s strategy
    • 17-20: Relationship of this new teaching to the Law of Moses
    Jesus' Warnings - 4 "movement killers"

    1. Key issue = motives

    • Who am I seeking to please?
    • 2. Key issue = materialism

    • Whose agenda am I seeking to accomplish?
    • 3. Key issue = misapplication

    • Where am I mis-applying Jesus' teaching?
    • 4. Key issue = misperception

      Have I entered through the narrow gate and does my life reflect one who is...

    • Poor in spirit?
    • Mourns?
    • Meek?
    • Hungering & thirsting for righteousness?
    • Merciful?
    • Pure in heart?
    • A peacemaker?
    • Persecuted because of righteousness?

  • What the World Needs Now - Authentic Difference-Makers, Part 1
    Nov 4 2024

    There’s no shortage of expert advice on what the world needs now - opinions abound and division increases. The question is: What would Jesus have us hear in the midst of the confusion and chaos? In this program, Chip goes to the book of Matthew for the answer.

    Main Points Overview of Matthew 5:
    • 3-12: The characteristics of His true followers and their promised rewards
    • 13-16: Salt and light: The movement’s strategy

  • Life Lessons with Chip - Answering Your Adversities
    Nov 1 2024

    Are you in a painful, confusing season of life right now? Maybe you’ve lost your job, have a conflict with a spouse or a child, or just received a sudden diagnosis. Whatever it is, do you wish there was a biblical guide to respond to adversity? In this program, Chip will share three questions you need to ask when challenges come. Discover how these prompts will get you through the most trying experiences and grow your faith.

    Main Points Three Questions to consider in times of adversity:
    1. How does Jesus want to use this adversity in your life for good?
    2. How does Satan want to use this adversity for your downfall?
    3. How can Satan turn a God-allowed trial into a lethal temptation?
    Satan is a master in deception; his MO is built on lies about:
    1. God
    2. You
    3. The future
    4. Your faith

    Dark cloud “raining” down adversities:

    Satan’s filter (deception):
    • Reaction: fear, overwhelmed, unfairness, where is God?
    • Leads to attitudes of: anger, despair, abandonment
    • End in: self-medicating, over-spending, acting out, addiction, isolation, etc.
    God’s filter (truth):
    • You’re not alone
    • It’s intended for your good
    • Attitude: big step of faith to “consider it all joy”
    • Action: don’t give up (persevere)

    • Caring Enough to Confront - What Ever Happened to Right and Wrong?, Part 2
      Oct 31 2024

      When did moral standards like fidelity, honesty, and sacrificial love give way to safe sex, adultery, and living together? In this program, Chip continues addressing society's abandonment of biblical morality. Discover the devastating impact moral relativism has had on the culture and the church - and what Jesus said about absolute truth.

      Main Points Introduction: We’ve got a problem!
      • The symptom: Moral issues
      • The issues: Ethics and values
      • The dilemma: Who determines what’s right or wrong?
      • The question: What is truth?
      Understanding the real problem: Diagnosis - Our view of truth has dramatically shifted in the last 50-60 years.
      • Among Intellectuals - Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis
      • In Education - The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom
      • In Law & Science - Reason in the Balance: The Case Against Naturalism in Science, Law, and Education by Phillip E. Johnson
      • In Culture - Escape from Reason by Francis A. Schaeffer AND The God Who Is There by Francis A. Schaeffer
      How is the “relative truth –vs– absolute truth” conflict played out daily?
      • Public Rhetoric = Truth is Relative - "All are right," Pluralism, Tolerance
      • Private Rhetoric = Truth is Absolute - "My rights," Justice, Fairness
      • Painful Reults = Sowing and Reaping
      What did Jesus say about truth?
      • Jesus’ outrageous claims …about Himself -John 14:6 | …about His Word -John 17:17
      • Jesus’ outrageous concern …about you -John 4:23 | …about your freedom -John 8:32
