About this Episode

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:

  1. Authentic worship can happen ANYWHERE. -John 4:21-22
  2. Authentic worship flows from the HEART. -John 4:23
  3. 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.
