• Love One Another - How to Lift Up Those Who are Down, Part 1

  God is good! But life is hard, isn’t it? Let’s be honest. Sometimes life is just plain difficult. It isn’t fair and, in short order, you can find yourself in a world of hurt. How do you rise above those circumstances? Join Chip as he encourages us how to lift up those who are down.Main Points Sometimes the only difference between success and failure is a simple word of encouragement! What is encouragement? Meaning of the word: Use in the New Testament: Use in the Old Testament: Summary: We are to aid, help, support, and intercede for each other by means of comforting in affliction, strengthening in faith, and motivating toward righteousness. In short, encouragement (building up others) is taking the truth of Scripture by life and word in the context of meaningful and caring relationships, to restore perspective and, thereby, provide hope which carries us through affliction and above complacency. Why is encouragement so important? Because God commands it. --1 Thessalonians 5:11 Because sin is deceitful. --Hebrews 3:13 Because spiritual growth requires it. --1 Thessalonians 3:2 Because we lose perspective so easily. --2 Corinthians 7:3-7 What does Biblical encouragement look like? Hebrews10:19-25 Two facts – Two eternal truths: Since we have access into God’s presence. --Hebrews 10:19 Since we never go into God’s presence alone. --Hebrews 10:21 Three exhortations – Three timeless principles: “Let us draw near…” Biblical encouragement restores perspective. --Hebrews 10:22 “Let us hold fast…” Biblical encouragement promotes endurance. --Hebrews 10:23 “Let us stimulate one another…” Biblical encouragement inspires spiritual growth. --Hebrews 10:24 How? By stimulating one another to Christ-like attitudes and actions in relationships. By refusing to allow one another to “drift” from regular attendance at worship or small group times. By reminding one another of the certainty and accountability involved in Christ’s return.

• Love One Another - How to Love Those Who are "Different", Part 2

  Do you find it hard to not make judgments about people based on their clothes, or hair, or the car they drive? You know God looks on the heart, but you just can’t get past that outward appearance. What do you do? Chip reveals Jesus’ remedy for passing judgment on those who are different from us.Main Points To love each other the way Jesus loved His disciples means we must accept one another, just as Christ accepted us, in order to bring glory to God! Dr. Larry Crabb – Connecting, page 66: “Connecting is a kind of relating that happens when the powerful life of Christ in one person meets the good life of Christ in another. What every Christian can pour into another is the powerful passion of acceptance, a passion that flows out of the center of the gospel, a passion that fills the heart of God.” What does it mean to “accept one another?” Meaning of the word “Accept.” Meaning from the context. --Romans 15:1-6 Meaning from the New Testament. Meaning from the text. --Romans 15:7 What keeps us from “accepting one another?” Legalism: Judging others’ faith by extra-Biblical standards. --Romans 14 Favoritism: Judging other by external appearance or possessions. --2 Corinthians 5:16; James 2:1-5 Pre-judging: Judging others based on preconceived notions about them. --Luke 6:37 Mind-reading: Judging others in areas that are impossible for us to assess. --1 Corinthians 4:1-5 Does “acceptance” mean we are never to judge? NO! – We are commanded to judge… … interpersonal conflict in the church. --1 Corinthians 6:2-5 … immoral behavior in the church. --1 Corinthians 5:1-6;1 Timothy 5:20 … those who sin against us. --Matthew 18:15-17 … when placed in positions of spiritual responsibility. --2 Timothy 4:1-3 … to maintain doctrinal purity. --2 Timothy 4:15 … when church unity is threatened. --Titus 1:10; 1 Timothy 5:20 How can we grow in “accepting one another?” Remember what is at stake! Refuse to compare! Renew your view of others! DESIRE CARD: “I would like to view others in light of their eternity and need, instead of by their outward appearance, possessions, status, or abilities.” Memorize: 2 Corinthians 5:16 Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3 Message Notes Additional Resource Mentions Free Your Divine Design Book About Chip Ingram Chip Ingram’s passion is helping Christians really live like Christians.

• Love One Another - How to Love Those Who are "Different", Part 1

  Have you ever wished that someone would look behind the smile, the makeup, and the clothes, to see who you really are - and accept you just as you are? We all long for that, and in this message Chip shares how Jesus taught us to love one another.Main Points To love each other the way Jesus loved His disciples means we must accept one another, just as Christ accepted us, in order to bring glory to God!

• Love One Another - How to Connect Deeply with Others, Part 2

  Do you long to be connected to other people? Do you find yourself getting close but then you don’t know how to break through? Do you feel like there’s an invisible wall between you and other people but you don’t know why? Chip reveals how to connect deeply with others and how to have them connect deeply with you.Main Points Dr. Larry Crabb: “Imagine what could happen if God were to place within his people intangible nutrients that had the power to both prevent and reverse soul disease and then told us to share those nutrients with each other in a special kind of intimate relating called connection. Imagine what could happen if that were true, if we believed it, and if we devoted ourselves to understanding what those nutrients were and how we could give them away. I envision a community of people who intentionally mingle in settings where these nutrients are passed back and forth, where I pour into you the healing resources within me and you pour into me what God has put in you. Like spiritual gifts, these nutrients only nourish our own souls as we give them away for the blessing of others. In recent days, I have made a shift. I am now working toward the day when communities of God’s people, ordinary Christians whose lives regularly intersect, will accomplish most of the good that we now depend on mental health professionals to provide. And they will do it by connecting with each other in ways that only the gospel makes possible.” Question: What is this “better way” and how does it work? God’s Answer: “Be devoted to one another in brotherly love.” --Romans 12:10 What keeps us from experiencing this authentic devotion one to another? It doesn’t happen automatically. --1 Thessalonians 4:9-10; 1 Peter 1:22-23; 2 Peter 1:5-7 It takes time, effort, and intentionally. It is especially difficult for some of us to share at the “feeling” level because: | We fear rejection. | We come from poor family backgrounds. | We’ve had negative church experiences.| Personal unresolved anger and bitterness. Excessive preoccupation with ourselves. Failure to recognize our limitationsand personal capacitiesin relationships. Idealistic / Unrealistic expectations. How can you develop deeper “family relationships”? Honestly evaluate your level of “connectedness” and family devotion. Identify the top two factors that are keeping you from building warmer, deeper relationships in God’s family. Prayerfully determine which sub-group you would be most comfortable with. Prayerfully decide on a specific time, event, or activity that would allow you to “take the next step” toward devotion and connection. (If possible, ask someone to go with you.) Join a Growth Group or Ministry Team for a specified, limited time. Be friendly – even if it doesn’t come naturally. Ask God to let you find someone who feels “less connected” than you this week and love them.
