Summary
How would you describe your relationship with God? Are you close? Or is it more like that co-worker you see daily but know nothing about? In this program, Chip will give us a simple, spiritual litmus test. Learn how connected you are to your Heavenly Father and what you can do to develop deeper intimacy.
Main Points Introduction:- What do Hebrews 11:6, Niagara Falls, and Jesus’ most important parable have in common?
- How did Jesus make disciples (in such a hostile environment) that were so much like Him that they overcame the darkness and changed the world?
- He modeled what He wanted them to become.
- He taught them the “secret” of the Kingdom of God (how life-change happens) - Mark 4:13-20
- Jesus tested their faith and revealed His power so they could trust His Word in the darkest of times. - Mark 4:35-5:43

| 0:00.0 | I have a serious question to ask you today. Where are you in your relationship with God? If you stay with me today, you will learn exactly where you are in your relationship with God and how to take the next steps to deeper intimacy. Stay with me. |
| 0:26.3 | Thanks for listening to this edition of Living on the Edge with Chip England. |
| 0:31.9 | Living on the Edge is an international teaching and discipleship ministry focused on helping Christians live like Christians. Over in the middle of Chip's newest series, piercing the darkness, we looked at how |
| 0:38.8 | Jesus, the true light, broke through the dark clouds of sin and religiosity of his day and what |
| 0:45.0 | we can learn from his example to be a light in our godless world. In our last broadcast, we studied |
| 0:51.0 | Jesus' parable of the sower. So today, Chip dives deeper into Mark 4 and helps us apply this truth to our lives now. |
| 0:59.0 | So with that, here's Chip with part two of his talk, Our Faith, How God Works in Us. |
| 1:05.0 | Let me summarize this and get it super practical. |
| 1:09.0 | First summary point here is that their faith is to be in Jesus, |
| 1:14.1 | the person, not the religious system or moral perfectionism. I don't know about you. I grew up in a church |

| 1:29.1 | No one expected me to change. |
| 1:30.3 | They certainly didn't change. |
| 1:32.2 | I came to the conclusion at about 15 or maybe 16 that, you know, I think church and God |
| 1:38.0 | is pretty much like the tooth fairy and Santa Claus. |
| 1:40.8 | And, you know, when you're young, they want you to believe in it and sort of keep you |
| 1:43.8 | on the moral good path. And then we all get older enough, we realize, ah, we're just kidding, |
| 1:47.7 | right? Yeah, there's probably some higher power somewhere. But no one really expects anyone to live |
| 1:52.4 | this loving, holy, other-centered life. And so I did what millions of people are doing now. That's their experience. I just opted out. I just said, |
| 2:03.3 | I don't know what this is all about, but girls are a lot more interesting, sports are a lot more |
| 2:08.1 | interesting, and my dad told me if I was really successful, I'd be really happy. And so if you can |
