Piercing the Darkness - Our Love: How God Works Through Us, Part 1
Description
Do you believe God is only interested in using super-spiritual, well-educated, prepared Christians? In this program, Chip explains why that idea is untrue, as he describes the simple profile of a person God wants to work through. As Chip unpacks Jesus' life and ministry, we will better understand the one fundamental characteristic Christ looks for in believers today.
Main Points
Introduction:
- When Jesus speaks of love the issues is not emotions, intentions, or feelings; it’s a question of loyalty. - 1 John 2:15-17
The Principle:
- God must work deeply “in” you before He works significantly “through” you.
- First, let God work deeply “in” you. -- Hebrews 12:1-3
- Second, let God work powerfully “through” you. -- Nehemiah 1-6
Summary:
We are “the Nehemiah’s” of our day. Our sacrifices and tribulations to pierce the darkness will seem so small when we look back from eternity.
