Testify is the 4th and final volume of Chip Ingram’s series, Jesus Unfiltered, an exposition of the entire Gospel of John. Testify reveals Jesus’ last days on earth and His final words to His followers, from then to today. It’s a bold, gritty assignment – far from the ease and prosperity of content religion. Jesus tasked His followers with a mission to testify; He promised a future of tribulation; He provided the limitless power of the Holy Spirit; and He guaranteed the hope of victory. Testify will encourage and challenge you to take your faith to the next level – to be strong and courageous – for the sake of His Kingdom to come.
Have you ever had to eat “Humble Pie?” You say something that’s so BOLD, and then, for whatever reason, your great declaration just kind of fizzles? Chip says we’re often harder on ourselves than God is. He’s NOT surprised when we mess up. In fact, if we’re humble, His response is patience and mercy.
Chip wraps up this series by saying that a lot of us don’t enjoy the peace God offers because instead of trusting Him with our deepest secrets, we choose to bury them… hoping that if they’re ignored, somehow they’ll never be a problem. This message is for you, if you long for the peace and joy you know you’re not experiencing.
