Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast Jesus Unfiltered - Love - Love... Costs!, Part 1
When Jesus left the earth He gave His disciples an assignment. He said, "Go and do what I have been doing for these past 3 years - show the people who God is." And their response was, “How?” Well, He gives us the same assignment. And we, naturally, have the same question: "How do we go and do what Jesus did? How do we show others who God is?" In this message, Chip shares Jesus’ answer to both the disciples and to you.
