God is looking for ordinary people to do extraordinary things for Him. Do you believe that? It’s true. But in order to move this from your head to your heart, you need to take one very important step. Chip reveals what that step is. Don’t miss it!

God delights…

to do IMPOSSIBLE things…

through IMPROBABLE people…

to IMPART exceeding grace…

to UNDESERVING recipients.

Practice: Dream Great Dreams!

• He invites ordinary people to dream something so great that it would be impossible if God did not do it.

1. God is able. --Jeremiah 32:17; Luke 1:37
2. God is desirous. --1 Corinthians 2:9
3. God has promised. --Psalm 37:4
4. God invites us. --Psalm 2:8; John 14:12-14

• Abram – He commands us to step out of our “comfort zone.”
• Joseph – He puts a dream within our heart.
• Moses – He allows us to fail in our attempt to accomplish His dreams in our own power.
• David – He teaches us through adversity to love the “Dream-giver” more than “the dreams.”
• Paul – He clarifies our calling in times of crisis and often uses our worst failures as the platform of His future fulfillment.
• Jesus – The dream will cost us our life and appear to others as the height of folly just before God accomplishes the impossible through us.

• Your life
• Your marriage
• Your children
• Your career
• Your ministry

• Write it down and then read it over regularly
• Pray over your dreams
• Look for God’s intervention and direction

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” We are all familiar with that verse, but what does it look like to live with the peace God promises? In this program, guest teacher Tim Lundy takes us to Luke chapter 2 and the angel's stunning announcement to some humble shepherds. Discover how this declaration of joy and hope can transform your experience of Christmas—and bring lasting peace into your everyday life.

• Anxiety
• Worry
• Anger
• Driven-ness

• Good news for all people – Jesus came
• Peace is here
• Jesus fulfilled prophecy --Micah 5:2; Isaiah 9

The problem: We often take the command “fear not” and try to address it without the promise. We can’t do anything on our own.

• Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
• You want to be filled with Jesus, then pray.
• Seek His Kingdom.
• Connect with His Church and His Word.
