Here's a crazy thought: Suffering is actually essential for spiritual growth and maturity - not exactly what everyone's preaching these days. Join Chip as he explains how the experience of suffering can bring us closer to Christ.
Review: Hope: The mental and emotional attitude that life is good, the future is promising, and progress is certain… even in the midst of difficult circumstances and challenging relationships.
Question: How do we experience this true HOPE in everyday life?
Answer: Philippians 3:10-11
Paul’s hope and consuming passion:
“I want to KNOW Christ (yada - Hebrew)
and the POWER of His resurrection, (dunamis - Greek)
and the FELLOWSHIP of His suffering, (koinonia - Greek)
BECOMING like Him in His death. (morphe - Greek)
and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.”
How do we experience this intimate relationship with Jesus?
His POWER in our weakness. - Romans 8:11 & 2 Corinthians 12:9-10His PRESENCE in our pain. - 2 Corinthians 4:7-12 & Romans 5:1-5His LIFE in our death. - Romans 6:4-7 & Galatians 2:20Broadcast Resource

In our pursuit of greatness in God's eyes, we tend to imagine following Jesus into ever-increasing, upward levels of maturity. In this program, Chip poses the fascinating premise that we actually follow Jesus, descending into greatness.
How do we measure greatness?
Power = Who and what we controlPossessions = What and how much we ownPosition = Our rank in the pecking orderPrestige = Who and how many “look up” to usProductivity = What and how much we accomplishHow do we obtain greatness?
Two pathways to greatness: Ascending and descendingTrue greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4How do you experience true greatness?
One word = Humility (Humility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God’s love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.)How to be authentically humble:
Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8We experience the reward of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11Broadcast Resource
