About this Episode

Good things come in small packages. Do you believe that? Whether it’s a wedding ring, or a smart phone, or a nice wristwatch, we all know that a small package can contain some pretty interesting stuff. Interestingly, Jesus was a big proponent of small. Chip unleashes the secret of how to get the most from those small things in life.

How Jesus “reached” a city:

A lesson for His disciples -John 4

  1. Where did the Breakthrough begin?
  2. Whom did Jesus choose to use?
  3. How did she “make room” for Breakthrough?
  4. What “courageous step” did she take?
  5. What did Jesus want His disciples to learn... about Himself? About breakthroughs?

Timeless axiom: Unlikely, supernatural breakthroughs are not dependent on aFUTURE work of God, but a PRESENT work of “one”. -John 4:34-39

How His followers “reached” the world:

A Lesson for Us -Book of Acts

  1. Where did breakthrough begin?
  2. Whom did Jesus choose to use?
  3. How did they “make room” for breakthrough?
  4. What “courageous steps” did they take?
  5. What was/is the result?
  6. What does Jesus want us to learn... about Himself? About ourselves? About breakthroughs?

Timeless axiom: Breakthroughs are fueled by COMPASSION and birthed in biblical COMMUNITY.

Action steps:

  1. PRAY fervently and desperately.
  2. EXTEND God’s compassion to someone or a group in need this week.
  3. JOIN or START a small group to pursue breakthrough “in” you and then “through” you.
