Pain. It is part of the human experience and one of the things that help us grow to maturity. But for some of us, the pain we have experienced feels crippling.

Being a genuine disciple of Christ flows out of a relationship with him. It's about experiencing God's grace, not earning his love through performance. A real relationship with Jesus Christ will produce a follower whose life looks progressively more like his life. Romans 12 provides a relational profile of an authentic disciple: someone who is surrendered to God, separate from the world's values, sober in self-assessment, serving in love, and supernaturally responsive to evil with good.

Most of us live very complex lives that move too fast, deliver too little, and demand too much. We often succumb to the push and pull of all the demands. We lack time for God, relationships, or ourselves. We know we need to change our pattern of life, but we either put it off or just don't know how to get started. It is possible to break free from the high-speed, high-pressure, high-demand, guilt-producing disease of our lives. The answer is counterintuitive, and it's found in 1 Corinthians 13.

If there ever was a time for Christians to understand and communicate God's truth about controversial and polarizing issues, it is now.

This series explores the powerful possibilities of lives lived according to the radical "one anothers" of the New Testament.

Nobody likes a hypocrite, and nobody wants to be one. But for some reason, living an honest, authentic life is tougher than it sounds.

If you'd like to know how to live a winsome, whole, and holy life, join Chip Ingram for this series from Ephesians 5.
