About this Episode

Do you wish your neighborhood was safer? Or maybe that your kid's teacher wasn’t so anti-Christian. Or that you could reach the people you work with for Christ? What if God wanted you to be the one to lead the change? Where would you start? Chip explains how you can be the catalyst for positive, God-honoring change, in your neighborhood, school, or community.

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.
