Summary
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.

| 0:39.1 | God is actively seeking true worshippers, people who worship him in spirit and truth, |
| 0:44.3 | from the heart with an accurate view of who he is. But here's our problem. We've made God so small, |
