Summary
Do you believe God is only interested in using super-spiritual, well-educated, prepared Christians? In this program, Chip explains why that idea is untrue, as he describes the simple profile of a person God wants to work through. As Chip unpacks Jesus' life and ministry, we will better understand the one fundamental characteristic Christ looks for in believers today.
Main Points Introduction:- When Jesus speaks of love the issues is not emotions, intentions, or feelings; it’s a question of loyalty. - 1 John 2:15-17
- God must work deeply “in” you before He works significantly “through” you.
- First, let God work deeply “in” you. -- Hebrews 12:1-3
- Second, let God work powerfully “through” you. -- Nehemiah 1-6

As a pastor, author, and teacher for more than three decades, Chip has helped believers around the world move from spiritual spectators to healthy, authentic disciples of Jesus by living out God’s truth in their lives and relationships in transformational ways.
