Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

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.

Chip continues this series with a message he calls, “How to Overcome Feelings of Futility.” If you need a God-sized shot in the arm, today's message is for you.
Introduction: “Empty Buckets”
Futility – Webster’s – lit. “that which easily pours out,” hence untrustworthy; that which fails completely of the desired end, or incapable of producing any result; trifling, unimportant. Syn: vain, fruitless, ineffective, useless
Fruitful – Webster’s – Latin “fructus” – enjoyment, means of enjoyment, profitable, productive, producing results and/or desired ends.
How can we avoid futility in our lives?
Refuse to Confuse Success With SIGNIFICANCE! -Luke 9:25-26
How can we move from success to significance?
1. Clarify your MISSION! Why are you here?
Two things last forever: God’s Word & people’s souls
Matthew 28:19-20
To know CHRIST and make Him KNOWN!
2. Embrace your MISSION FIELD! Where are your greatest spheres of influence?
Your home -Deut 6:4-9
Your work -Col 3:22-25
Your network -Col 4:5-6
3. Engage in the Harvesting Process
