    Uninvited Guests - The 50/50 Lie

    When tackling an important project, it is natural to want to divide all the tasks fairly, so everyone shares the responsibilities and weight of the job. However, in this program, Chip Ingram cautions that while that strategy may be successful in the workplace, it often causes stress, burnout, and resentment at home. Hear what God’s Word says about an all-in partnership with your spouse, that is deeply rewarding and life-giving. Fighting lies with truth Lie #6: Marriage is a 50-50 proposition. As long as everyone does their part everything will be okay.The truth: Marriage is a 100%-100% proposition. It is an UNCONDITIONAL commitment to an imperfect person. It’s giving the other person what they need the MOST, when they DESERVE it the least, at great PERSONAL COST.Key verse: John 13:34-35Lie #7: Marriage shouldn’t be this difficult. No matter how hard I work it seems like we always have issues to work through. I really wonder if it’s worth it.The truth: Everything of great value requires COMMITMENT, SACRIFICE, and PERSEVERANCE. As my spouse and I face challenges and overcome them, our intimacy and joy will far outweigh our present problems.Key verse: Galatians 6:9Lie #8: I’ve tried hard to make this marriage work, but it’s too far gone. God wants me to be happy and I know He’ll understand if I get a divorce.The truth: God HATES divorce. No marriage is beyond repair. If Jesus can raise the dead, He can certainly RESURRECT my marriage.Key verse: Malachi 2:16Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions Marriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect 888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With Us Donate Online888-333-6003

    Uninvited Guests - Why Marriage Still Matters

    In this program, hear what the research reveals about cohabitation and long-term relationships, and why this sacred covenant is so much more than just a simple piece of paper. Fighting lies with truth Lie #3: Marriage is merely a man-made set of rules and restrictions. I can tailor my marriage however I want to fit my needs.The truth: Marriage is an institution created by God. He designed it with specific guidelines and roles to provide SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL, and PHYSICAL intimacy as a family’s foundation.Key verse: Genesis 2:24-25Lie #4 (for men): Until my wife shows me the respect and physical affection that I need, she shouldn’t expect me to step up and lead my family God’s way.The truth: It is tempting to wait for my wife to do her part before I do mine. But the only person I can change is ME. Transformation will occur when I FOCUS on being the HUSBAND God wants me to be.Key verse: Ephesians 5:25Lie #5 (for women): Until my husband takes the initiative in the financial, emotional, and spiritual aspects of our relationship, he shouldn’t expect me to show him the respect and affection God calls me to as a wife.The truth: It is tempting to wait for my husband to do his part before I do mine. But the only person I can change is ME. Transformation will occur when I FOCUS on being the WIFE God wants me to be.Key verse: Ephesians 5:22-24Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions Marriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect 888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With Us Donate Online888-333-6003

Better understand the relational fallout of this lie and the practical ways to eliminate these harmful thoughts from your mind when they arise. Introduction: Among evangelical couples, what does the research actually say are the biggest issues in their life?” Marriage strugglesParenting in a secular cultureFighting lies with truth Lie #1: When I finally meet “the right person,” everything will work out fine.The truth: Marrying the right person is CRUCIAL, but even with the greatest mate, a successful marriage requires following GOD’S DESIGN, putting in the hard work, persevering through difficulties, and relying on the Holy Spirit.Key verse: Hebrews 10:36Lie #2: When I experience disappointment, annoyance, and anger toward my spouse, that means I’m “falling out of love” and I may have married the wrong person.The truth: CONFLICT and NEGATIVE emotions are not only normal, they are essential to learning to COMMUNICATE and forgive each other in the process of becoming one.Key verse: Ephesians 4:32Don’t buy the LIES. Do it GOD’S WAY.

    Uninvited Guests - The Fight for a Godly Family

    The Apostle Paul reminds us in Ephesians that a Christian’s battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of darkness. Join us as Chip exposes powerful lies that have misled believers for centuries and are undermining the institution of marriage. The command: Walk differently Walking worthy of your CALLING -Ephesians 4:1, 17Walking in LOVE, like Christ -Ephesians 5:2Walking as children of LIGHT -Ephesians 5:8Walking not as unwise, but as WISE -Ephesians 5:15How? By letting your relationship with God—with Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit—be the one central, most important thing that focuses your mind around the truth of how to live. -Ephesians 5:15-20By applying the instructions for the Spirit-filled life to the family structure. -Ephesians 5:21-6:4The ultimate context: The armor of God is detailed immediately after family instructions to frame the family as a primary spiritual battlefield for fighting lies. -Ephesians 6:10-18Fighting for your family Identify lies and understand where they come from and what they do.Understand that lies make it impossible for children to grow up in a safe, stable, supportive environment where they feel valued, encouraged, and supported.Recognize that the most dangerous lies are the ones that you believe to the point where you think it’s good.The family as a witness Few things will be more important to show the world the love of Christ than marriages that reflect Jesus and His Church.Our mission: To show the world that there is hope by identifying lies in our families and culture, and building Spirit-powered homes that glorify God.Broadcast Resource Download Free MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource Mentions Marriage Truth Cards Offer"Uninvited Guests" ResourcesConnect 888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With Us Donate Online888-333-6003

    People play all kinds of games when it comes to love. Our minds can get wrapped up in ego and selfishness that hinder love at its best. God demonstrates His love in ways that are so different from ours. Join Chip as he explores God's love and what could happen if we stop looking for love and start giving it away instead.

Fact #3: There’s a tragic disconnection - Even so, most people remain starved for love… for three primary reasons: They don’t know God loves them.They know of God’s love, but have not received it.They have received God’s love, but don’t know how to experience it in daily life.Love is giving another person what they need the most, when they deserve it the least, at great personal cost. God reveals His love to us through: CREATION - He made you for Himself.PROVIDENCE - He shows His kindness to all.INCARNATION - He is proactively pursuing you.DISCIPLINES - He chastises us to protect us from self-destructive behavior.INDWELLING - He supernaturally pours His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit.JESUS – The Second Person of the Trinity demonstrated the nature of God’s love for us.How must we respond to God’s love?
