A Peaceful Heart #1 of 2
February 25, 2009
Jesus made many promises to His disciples in the Upper Room. One of them fills a need we all feel: the need for peace. Running the hectic race of life is a lot easier when we have peace within our souls. Peace is getting scarcer with increasing fears of economic collapse, and, as the world gets ever more hostile to Christ. But Jesus gives His peace to those who believe in Him.

Living With Your Passions
In a hyper-sexualized culture, sex is either reduced to pleasure-seeking or conflated with our identity. But God designed us as sexual beings for emotional and spiritual intimacy whose highest calling is to worship Him. In this revised edition, Pastor Erwin Lutzer draws on forty years of ministry experience to present a rationale for sexual purity. He gives an honest answer to the sexual pressures we face like extramarital relationships, self-gratification, same-sex attraction, and more. As desire-driven creatures, we don't have to pursue happiness at the expense of character. With our identity grounded in Christ, we can live victoriously with our passions.

Many Christians try to "go it alone," not realizing that within them lives the Holy Spirit, given to be our Helper. And we need help to run the race of life, and carry out the ministry God has for us. Our task requires power in the spiritual dimension, and that power comes from the Holy Spirit who was promised to all who believe in Jesus. As a Christian, you need never feel alone.

Before His death and resurrection, Jesus promised His disciples that He would send them a Helper after He was gone. Running the race of life takes strength. And the strength we need is more than natural energy. Jesus knew we would need supernatural strength, and promised to send the Holy Spirit to provide spiritual energy for every child of God even today.

At His time of greatest need, Jesus showed us how to pray...how to pray in a way that brings glory to God. In the Upper Room Discourse, Jesus seems to indicate that whatever we request, we can have. What are the conditions on answered prayer? Is it all tied to how fully we believe? Today, a look at what Jesus meant when He said, "Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do."

Does your belief in Christ cause you to make any difference in the lives of those around you? According to Jesus, it should. In His famous Upper Room Discourse, He said that those who would believe in Him would do greater works than He did. At first glance, that appears impossible. What works could be greater than His? Today: an explanation of this astounding statement.

A runner knows the track he's on is real. The goal line is real. And the gold medal he wants to win: well, that's real too. Believers in Christ can be certain of another reality: the very real heaven Jesus told us about. That reality is a sure antidote for the crushing weight of anxiety we sometimes feel on this earth. Are you weighed down by fear? Remember the words of Jesus: a place is being prepared.

It gnaws at you whenever your mind is not occupied. It intrudes on you when you least expect it. It's anxiety. Anxiety slows all of us down in the race of life. But anxiety is something Jesus said we can leave by the side of the road. Are you fearful about the future? If you're beset by anxiety, for whatever reason, stay with us for some words of great hope.

You won't find many kids named Judas these days. That name now has a permanent mark: it belonged to a traitor. It's good to stop the race of life long enough to examine one's heart, and find out what really motivates us. Judas teaches a pointed lesson on how far we can fall away from Jesus Christ, even though, to all observers, we seem to be children of God. Stay with us.
February 16, 2009
We've all heard the expression: "So near and yet so far." Judas was close to Christ, but not close enough. Today, pause in your race of life to ponder the mystery of a man whose heart was so black that he could look Jesus in the eye and still betray Him to His enemies. Is it possible that you or I could be so near, and yet be so far? Ponder this, and then, stay with us.

As mature as we may be as Christians, none of us can get through a single day without the need to confess our sins. That's why Jesus washed His disciples' dusty feet: to show us that we need daily cleansing, without which we have no part with Christ. Today: we'll cover some practical issues on keeping short accounts with God. Stay with us for more teaching from the Upper Room.

When Jesus washed His disciples' feet, He was really teaching a lesson on why He had to wash His disciples' hearts. We pick up a lot of dust in the race of life: dust that clogs the pores of our souls. The road is dirty, and we need to come to Christ for cleansing every day. Today, from the Upper Room, we'll begin to learn what that process is all about, and why, for a believer, it's not optional.
