2 February 2026, 7:00 am - 25 minutesHow To Overcome Boredom and the Blues, Part 2
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.

27 January 2026, 7:00 am - 25 minutesHow To Overcome Inferiority and Low Self-Image, Part 2
Are you struggling with feelings of inferiority? Has your self-esteem been crushed by a soured relationship or job loss? Chip shares how you can rise above those feelings of inferiority and a low self-esteem to experience God’s love for you like never before.
Distorted mirrors destroy our lives:
- The Appearance Mirror
- The Performance Mirror
- The Status Mirror
Thesis – Until we see ourselves as God sees us, we are destined to FEEL INFERIOR.
3 keys to a Biblical self-image:
1. Get God’s View of You = KNOWLEDGE
You are significant because:
- You're UNIQUE -Gen 1:27, Ps 139:13-14
- You're LOVED -1 Sam 16:7, Jer 31:3
- You're VALUABLE -1 Cor 6:19-20
- You're SECURE -Eph 1:13
- You're INDISPENSIBLE -Eph 2:10, 4:15-16
2. Believe God’s View is True = FAITH
- Faith is built on God’s Word -Rom 10:17
- Faith grows through mind renewal -Rom 12:2
- Develop a plan to remove the distorted mirrors of the world with the mirror of God’s Word -Jam 1:22-24
3. Discover the “You” that’s True = EXPERIENCE
- Unwrap your SPIRITUAL GIFTS -1 Cor 12, Rom 12
- Unleash your SPIRITUAL PASSION -Ps 37:4
- Use your God-given TALENTS -Ex 31:3
- Embrace your God-given PERSONALITY -1 Cor 2:11
- Leverage your past EXPERIENCE -Rom 8:28
Ministry is how God makes what’s true “of” us, true “in” us. Sometimes it’s only in the act of “loving others: that we can fathom that we ourselves are loved!
