Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Weekend Podcast

How do you feel when you’ve tried everything you know, and your attempts to show love to your spouse just don’t seem to be making any difference at all? Or maybe you’re on the flip-side and you’re waiting for the day when your spouse finally does something that makes you feel like they really care. In this program, Chip talks about how to love in a way that actually connects.
How do you keep love alive?
Ephesians 5:25-33
Very rarely, do we take how Jesus loves the Church and use that as our model for how we are to love one another in marriage.
Your marriage is not just about your PERSONAL fulfillment. -John 13:1-17, 33-35
Other than the Church of Jesus Christ, your relationship with your mate is the single most powerful testimony of the reality of God.
Principles:
Love is not a FEELING.
Love is SERVING. -Philippians 2:3-4
Love must be RECEIVED.
Love is UNCONDITIONAL.
Practical Implications:
Love is a CHOICE.
Love MEETS the NEEDS of the one loved.
Love requires extreme HUMILITY and SECURITY.
Learn the five languages of love
Words of affirmation
Quality time
Receiving gifts
Acts of service
Physical touch
Two clues as to what your love language is:
What bothers you the most?
What do you ask for the most?

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.
The quest for greatness = UNIVERSAL!
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
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.
Following Jesus into greatness - How to be authentically humble:
Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5
We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6
We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7
We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8
We experience the REWARD of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11
Conclusion: God wants you to be great!
The acid test of greatness = LOVE
The road to greatness = HUMILITY
The opportunity for greatness = SERVING

How do you overcome the blues? Is there a way to take those dreary, depressing feelings and drive them from your mind and heart? Find out by joining Chip, as he teaches: “How to Overcome Boredom and the Blues.”
Introduction: “I was looking for life in all the wrong places.”
What is boredom?
Why are we bored?
Why do “the blues” and boredom go hand-in-hand?
Could “boredom” be a gift in disguise?
God’s answer to boredom = Authentic worship
What is Authentic Worship?
Definition – Worship is our response to God for who He is and what He has done.
Romans 12:1
Summary – Worship is the complete and total giving of ourselves for that which we believe has ULTIMATE PURPOSE and will provide the GREATEST REWARD.
3 Principles for authentic worship:
Authentic worship can happen ANYWHERE. -John 4:21-22
Authentic worship flows from the HEART. -John 4:23
Authentic worship is rooted in an ACCURATE view of God and of ourselves. -John 4: 24
How can you experience greater intimacy in worship?
Private worship = A.C.T.S.
Public worship = The 3 “P’s”
Conclusion: Worship is not a service you come to or an activity you practice; worship is a life-focus, an expression of your deepest longings, passions, and devotion to whom or what you love the most.
