    How to Come to Grips with the Real You, Part 1

    There are 3 questions everyone, regardless of culture, economic status, or even religious conviction will ask themselves. Who am I? Where do I belong? And what am I supposed to do? The answers to those questions may not be as difficult as you might suppose. Chip will reveals how you can begin to answer those questions for yourself.

    Three questions we all ask ourselves:

    1. Who am I? (Identity)
    2. Where do I belong? (Security)
    3. What am I supposed to do? (Significance)

    Why is it so hard to answer these questions?

    • Genesis 3:8-13

    Three obstacles to getting right answers:

    1. Fear rooted in SHAME.
    2. Hiding rooted in INSECURITY.
    3. Blaming rooted in denial.

    God’s Answers: Romans 12:3-8

    1. Who are you? -Romans 12:3
      • The Command: Think ACCURATELY about yourself.
    2. Where do you belong? -Romans 12:4-5
      • The Reason: You have a ROLE to fill.
    3. What are you supposed to do? -Romans 12:6-8
      • The Practice: Discover and DEPLOY your spiritual gift.

    Never forget who you really are!

    1. God uniquely created you – you are ETERNALLY VALUABLE. -Psalm139:13-14
    2. God placed you in His family – you are UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED. -Ephesians 3:19-22
    3. God gifted you to fulfill His purpose – you are IRREPLACEABLY SIGNIFICANT. -Ephesians 2:10

    How to Get God's Best for Your Life, Part 2

    There's a way to experience real life change, and it isn’t about trying harder; it’s about a completely new way of thinking.

    Negative Command: “Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world…”

    • Passive voice
    • Imperative
    • Present tense

    Translation: “Stop allowing yourselves to be molded by the influences and pressures of this present world system.”

    Application: We are to be SEPARATE from the world’s values. -1 Jn. 2:15-17

    Summary: The world’s system seeks to SEDUCE us from our love for Christ by PLEASURE, POSSESSIONS, and POSITION.

    Positive Command: “…but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

    • Passive voice
    • Imperative
    • Present tense

    Translation: “But allow God to completely change your inward thinking and outward behavior by cooperating wholeheartedly moment-by-moment with the Spirit’s renewing process.”

    Application: Are you shaped more by the WORLD or the WORD? -Mat. 4:4; 2 Cor. 3:18

    The means of transformation: “…by the renewing of your mind.”

    • Renewing your mind is a continual REFOCUS of a Romans 12:1 perspective.
    • Renewing your mind will always involve a BATTLE.
    • Renewing your mind is a SUPERNATURAL work of the Spirit.

    Practical methods for “Renewing Your Mind”

    1. HEARING God’s Word -Rom. 10:17
    2. Use your TIME wisely. Be in the Word
    3. READ God’s Word -Rev. 1:3
    4. STUDY God’s Word -2 Tim. 2:15
    5. MEMORIZE God’s Word -Psa. 119:9,11
    6. MEDITATE on God’s Word -Jos. 1:8

    How to Give God What He Wants the Most, Part 2

    What does God want from you the most? If you knew the answer to that question would you live differently? Chip shares, from scripture, what God is looking for from you and me. Join Chip and discover how to give God what He wants the most.

    Introduction: Risk, reason, and the decision-making process

    Case Study #1 – John’s Civil War Coins

    Case Study #2 – Sheila’s Picasso

    Questions to ponder:

    • What are the risks?
    • What are the potential rewards?
    • What would you do?
    • Why?

    Three Principles:

    1. Truth – What is true about the issue?
    2. Knowledge – Have you educated yourself about the issue?
    3. Faith – Do you believe it to the point of action?

    Case Study #3 – Ancient Treasure -Mat. 13:44-46

    • Thesis – Total surrender is the CHANNEL through which God’s best and biggest blessings flow.
    • Definition – “Total commitment is the alignment of one’s motives, resources, priorities, and goals to fulfill a specific mission, accomplish a specific task, or follow a specific person.” -Webster’s Dictionary
    • Spiritual Insight – Through which lens do you view total commitment? Positive vs. Negative

    The Problem: What does total commitment look like in our relationship with God? How does it work?

    The Answer: Romans 12:1

    The Command: “OFFER your bodies”

    The Motivation: “The MERCY of God”

    The Reason: “Spiritual act of WORSHIP.”

    What does He want most?

    1. He wants you!
    2. All that you are and all that you have fully surrendered to Him.

    Why surrender to His Lordship? -Ps. 84:11

    • Because total surrender is the channel through which God’s best and biggest blessings flow.

    The Question: Are you ALL IN?

    God's Dream for Your Life, Part 2

    What does living like a Christian really mean? How do the day-to-day, rubber meets the road, "what am I supposed to do now?" questions get answered when circumstances leave an honest person really struggling? Chip shares that God has a dream for you - yes, you - and as incredible as that idea sounds, Chip explains what that means.

    5 Key Relationships:

    1. Relationship with God: SURRENDERED to God -Romans 12:1
    2. Relationship with the world: SEPARATE from the World -Romans 12:2
    3. Relationship with yourself: SOBER in Self-Assessment -Romans 12:3-8
    4. Relationship with believers: SERVING in Love -Romans 12:9-13
    5. Relationship with nonbelievers: SUPERNATURALLY Responding to Evil with Good -Romans 12:14-21

    Warning – Romans 12 is not a “try-hard” moral code to live up to, but a faith response to what God has already done for us.

    • Romans 1-3: SIN - Our problem that separates us from God.
    • Romans 4-5: SALVATION - God’s solution in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
    • Romans 6-8: SANCTIFICATION - Living your new life in God’s power and growing progressively in Christ-likeness.
    • Romans 9-11: SACRIFICE - Living in confidence because God is in control and keeps all His promises…
