As much as we'd like it to be otherwise, the fact is that the world we live in is violent and uncertain. What is certain is that God promised His children supernatural peace - even in the midst of conditions that threaten to absolutely overwhelm us. Chip unpacks how God's peace works and how you can have it – even in a broken world.Introduction: Are you feeding or starving your fear?

When you have a loved one in intensive care, or the house hasn't sold, or the job hasn't come through, or the news is full of things that make you fearful – are you able to trust God's goodness, or does the anxiety just seem too overwhelming?

When life gets hard, really hard, we have two options. We can become consumed with worry, which is what most people do, OR we can trust God, who tells us not to worry or be anxious. Chip shares that even though that sounds nearly impossible, God has promised to help us do just that.Jesus' promise: John 16:33What exactly is anxiety?What causes anxiety?How does anxiety affect us?How can we overcome anxiety?Choosing God's peace when anxiety strikes: Philippians 4:6-7The Commands = the What:Negatively = Positively = 4 Key Words = the How:PRAYER: Worship and adoration.PETITION: Focus on your needs.THANKSGIVING: Focus on what God has done.REQUESTS: Outline your specific requests.The Promise = the Why:Peace and anxiety cannot COEXIST.Anxiety and biblical prayer cannot COEXIST.Summary: Biblical PRAYER is God's antidote to anxiety.This week, every time you feel anxious, remember the following word picture:When ANXIETY pounds at the door of your heart, let PRAYER answer it as you RUN into your Father's arms!Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions"I Choose Peace" BookConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

Jesus said, “My peace I leave with you.” Very likely, when we pray, peace is often what we ask for - peace in the world, peace at home, and maybe most of all, peace in our relationships - but what did Jesus mean when He said His peace? And how could that make a difference in our problem relationships today? If you or someone you know is struggling with a difficult relationship, this message is for you.Introduction: Three approaches to peaceInwardOutwardUpwardThe world's peace: The absence of disturbance and hostility, free from internal and external strife.God's peace: ShalomComplete soundness or wholeness of healthHarmony in relationshipsSuccess and fulfillment of purposeVictory over one's enemiesChoosing peace in relational conflict -Philippians 4:1-5The context: Philippians 4:1The plea for unity: Philippians 4:2The request for competent counsel: Philippians 4:3The command concerning relational focus: Philippians 4:4The command concerning personal responsibility: Philippians 4:55 ways to diffuse relational conflict:Resolve to stop procrastinating. -Philippians 4:1Re-evaluate your expectations. -Philippians 4:2Get competent, outside help. -Philippians 4:3Refuse to allow one relationship to ruin your life. -Philippians 4:4Remember, a right response is more important than being right. -Philippians 4:5Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions"I Choose Peace" Book"It is Well with My Soul" by Horatio SpaffordConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

Do you believe that God is good? That He really has your best interests in mind? In this special message guest speaker, Ryan Ingram, addresses this vital topic as he interviews his mom Theresa. She shares her inspiring testimony of becoming a Christian, and how she navigated through painful circumstances by trusting in the unfailing goodness of God.Main PointsFrom Despair to Deliverance:Theresa's early life was marked by loneliness and a dysfunctional family. Her dreams were shattered when her husband abandoned her and their twin infant sons. Feeling "left with nothing," she found hope through a godly boss and, at 25, accepted Jesus as her Savior.Finding Refuge and Intimacy in Christ:Supported by others, Theresa learned to love God's Word and prayer. She experienced God's consistent presence through unexpected help and answered prayers, including her marriage to Chip. Ryan highlights his mother's deep devotion to prayer, an intimacy born from desperation. Theresa's life serves as a testament to Romans 8:28, proving that God works all things for good.Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Additional Resource Mentions"Precious in His Sight" ResourcesConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003About Theresa IngramTheresa Ingram has a passion to see women transformed as they learn to see themselves as Christ sees them.

As Chip wraps up this series, he tells us that far beyond a glimmer of hope, or a fleeting season of hope, it's possible to KNOW hope - that hope can be so secure and certain in your soul that others will say, "What happen to you!?" - in a very good way!Introduction: The message of Jesus is hope-- 2 Corinthians 5:19You have been forgivenYou are wantedYou are completely understoodYou have a giftThe big question: Where's your hope today?2 Sources of hope --- Philippians 3:17-21Paul's Plea: Choose the hope that delivers lifeThe Command: You must “LIVE OUT” your hope every day.- Philippians 3:17Reason #1: Because “false hopes” deliver TRAGEDY.- Philippians 3:18-19Reason #2: Because “true hope” delivers TRANSFORMATION.- Philippians 3:20-21Broadcast ResourceDownload Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions"I Choose Joy" Book"I Choose Joy" Home Church StudyConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

In this program, Chip lays out three key takeaways regarding spiritual maturity - what it is not, what it is, and what we gain from it.Introduction: Spirituality and the pursuit of hopeFor many, finding and experiencing lasting HOPE in external success, rewards, fame, and wealth have proved futile.For others, seeking lasting HOPE in a person or persons has proved painful and disappointing.As a result, the vast majority of people on the earth (all non-atheists) seek lasting HOPE via some pathway to spiritual development and maturity.Question: How do we pursue HOPE in a world filled with pseudo-spirituality?The Answer: Philippians 3:12-163 Takeaways concerning spiritual maturity:Spiritual maturity does not mean we are PERFECT (or will ever be in this life).Philippians 3:12Spiritual maturity does mean our lives are characterized by a PASSIONATE PURSUIT of knowing and becoming like Jesus.

In our pursuit of greatness in God's eyes, we tend to imagine following Jesus into ever-increasing, upward levels of maturity.
