• Does God Still Heal? - Emotional Healing - Moving Beyond Treating the Symptoms, Part 1
    Feb 21 2025

    Does God still perform miraculous healing today? Or did that only happen while Jesus was on Earth or in the early Church? Join Chip as he delves into James chapter 5 and uncovers what Scripture reveals about restoration and healing from emotional, physical, and spiritual pain. Do not miss this insightful discussion that could reshape your understanding of divine healing today.

    Main Points God's prescription for emotional healing:
    • For emotional distress – Rx…. Pray! --James 5:13a
    • For emotional delight – Rx…. Sing! --James 5:13b
    Question #1: What kind of prayers heal emotional wounds?
    • Prayers that heal emotions include three parts and are called laments: | 1. Recount your pain. | 2. Recall God's Character. | 3. Resolve to trust Him. |
    • Examples to follow when you feel "bad" due to: | Depression, doubt, circumstances. --Psalm 13 | Guilt, shame, sin. --Psalm 38 | Persecution, adversity. --Psalm 56 | Injustice, "raw deal." --Psalm 73
    Question #2: What kind of prayers fill our emotional reservoir?
    • Prayers that fill our emotional tanks include three parts and are called Psalms of praise: | 1. Recount your gain. | 2. Recall God's character. | 3. Resolve to thank Him. |
    • Examples to follow when you feel "good" due to: | God’s forgiveness, healing. --Psalm 103 | God’s goodness and love. --Psalm 136 | God’s mighty acts, compassion. --Psalm 145 | God’s faithfulness, creation. --Psalm 146-150 |
    Conclusion:
    1. "Ups" and "downs" are normal.
    2. Emotional health demands we move beyond the "silencingof our symptoms."
    3. Emotional healing is a gift from God. Go to "The" Counselor before you go to a counselor.
    4. "Getting stuck" is also normal and God uses people, in conjunction with prayer, to mend our emotional wounds.
    5. Extreme wounds, at times, demand extended and specialized care.

  • Keeping Love Alive - Volume 4 - A Christ-Like Relationship to Personal Attacks and Injustice, Part 2
    Feb 20 2025

    When you feel dismissed, neglected, or insulted by your spouse, what do you do? Pout? Go silent? Retaliate? In this program, Chip’s gonna help us respond to hurt and pain in a biblical way by teaching from Romans chapter 12. Discover how your marriage can survive, heal and move forward when we wound one another.

    Main Points Great marriages are characterized by couples who refuse to repay evil for evil within or outside their relationship.
    • Translation = Every couple wounds one another, and injustice, betrayal, and personal attacks will happen to all of us from within and outside the church. Those who learn to overcome evil will prosper, those who don’t will be destroyed.
    • The principle = We must extend the mercy and forgiveness to others that Jesus has extended to us. --Colossians 3:12-14; Ephesians 4:32
    Developing a Christ-like relationship to personal attacks requires:
    • We know Jesus’ teaching. --Matthew 5:43-48
    • We practice overcoming evil. --Romans 12:14-21
    What do you need to believe about God’s character to help you overcome evil with good?
    • God’s sovereignty. --Genesis 50:20; Romans 8:28-29
    • God’s mercy. --Matthew 18:21-23
    Conclusion: Resentment, bitterness, and unforgiveness are like cancers that eat away at our soul and destroy our love; we must forgive our mates as Jesus has forgiven us. Broadcast Resource

    We all carry around emotional wounds. Whether it was something someone said or did, those scars stick with you. But what happens when that deep hurt comes from your spouse? How we act toward our spouse in arguments or tense circumstances is vital to the health of our relationships.

  • Keeping Love Alive - Volume 4 - A Healthy Relationship with Yourself, Part 2
    Feb 14 2025

    Do you love how God made you? Or are you overly critical and harsh with yourself? Often feeling like you never measure up. In this program, Chip stresses that a thriving marriage is built on a healthy view of ourselves. Wanna learn more? Then join us as we continue Chip’s series, Keeping Love Alive, Volume 4.

    Main Points Great marriages are characterized by couples who individually find their identity in Christ and don’t expect their spouses to meet all their personal, spiritual, relational, and emotional needs.
    • Translation = We are commanded by Jesus to “Love our neighbors as ourselves.” If we don’t love ourselves in a healthy and non-narcissistic way, we will continually ask of our spouses what they can never deliver. --Matthew 22:37-39
    • The principle = An accurate self-perception demands we know who we are and whose we are. --1 John 3:1
    Developing a healthy relationship with yourself requires:
    • Getting a glimpseof your beginning. --Psalm 139:13-16
    • Doing an honest self-assessment. --Romans 12:3
    • Believing who God says you are. --Ephesians 1:3-14
    What do we need to believe about God’s character to develop a healthy relationship with ourselves?
    • His wisdom. --Romans 11:33-36
    • His gentleness. --Matthew 11:28-30
    Conclusion: So often we want our marriage to change by what we think our mate needs to do; when in reality a healthy, self-love for who we are and whose we are frees us from demanding what our mates can never supply. Broadcast Resource

  • Keeping Love Alive - Volume 4 - A Life-Giving Relationship with God, Part 2
    Feb 12 2025

    Have you seen those news stories of couples who’ve been married for 5, 6, or even 7 decades? What’s their secret? How did they make it? In this program, Chip shares the answer as he continues his series, Keeping Love Alive, Volume 4. Don’t miss how you can build a strong, life-long bond with your mate.

    Main Points Great marriages are characterized by couples who “give their mate what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost.”
    • Translation = Marriage is not a 50:50 proposition. Great marriages are built on loving our spouses in the same way Christ has loved us. --John 15:13; 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
    • The principle = You cannot give what you have not Received. --John 10:10
    • Biblical marriage (Ephesians 5:22-33) requires sacrificial, other-centered love that is humanly impossible, but supernaturally enabled as we receive a steady flow of God’s love in us. --1 John 3:16
    Developing a life-giving relationship with God requires:
    • A spiritual birth. --John 3:1-7
    • A radical dedication. --Romans 12:1
    • A daily battle. --Romans 12:2
    What do you need to believe about God’s character to experience His love and power?
    • His goodness. --Psalm 84:11
    • His gentleness. --Matthew 11:28-30
    Conclusion: The greatest gift you can give your mate is becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ. Broadcast Resource
