Come and See His Transfiguration #1 of 2

March 4, 2010
It was on a mountaintop, perhaps Israel's Mount Tabor. Jesus gave three of His disciples a blinding vision of the future. Here, Moses and Elijah appeared with Christ, symbolizing Jesus as the fulfillment of both the law and the prophets. God's voice thundered from the cloud, and the experience was so powerful that Peter wrote of it years later as being "on the Holy Mountain."

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.

Some believers feel they have ruined their Christian lives by making agreements with Satan. Is this really possible? Can Satan bind a child of God? Can a Christian sell his or her soul to the devil? Today, some frank talk about the limits God has set on Satan's domain, and why the victory of Christ is complete, as we learn from Matthew chapter 12.

When you've set out to attack someone verbally, and then find yourself out-reasoned, all you may have left is pure rage. That was the case when the Pharisees accused Jesus of casting out demons using Satan's power. Jesus replied, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." That left them speechless, and plotting to destroy Him. Today we watch as the tide of opinion turns against Jesus.

In Old Testament times, people would connect sickness with personal sin. We now know that this connection is not always accurate, but Jesus used that common perception in healing a paralyzed man, beginning by forgiving his sins, and thus infuriating the nearby Jewish scribes. Today: a look at a great miracle, and the testimony it bears about the Son of God.

What exactly is a miracle? C.S. Lewis defined a miracle as "an interference with nature by a supernatural power." The miracles of Jesus were clear, public, long-lasting, and not in dispute, even by His enemies. Those miracles testify to His being the Son of God, and were performed not to amaze, but rather, to teach. In this message we take a look at one of those dramatic miracles.

Many people work their entire lives, hoping that someday they will have a higher calling than the drudgery of a daily job. When Jesus called Simon and Andrew away from their fishing nets, He said they'd become fishers of men. For these two, that higher calling meant leaving their boats behind. Do we hear the higher calling of Christ? Are we willing to pay the price to follow it?

Would you leave a lifetime job and head into the financial unknown if a man walked up to you and said, "Come and follow Me?" The call of Jesus to those who became his disciples was clear and unambiguous. And their response was to immediately leave their nets behind. Are we as quick to heed the call of Christ? If not, perhaps today's broadcast is tailor-made for each of us.

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush," people say. Many of us seek immediate gain rather than long-term benefit. Some of us want our comforts and happiness more than we want to do the will of God. By denying Himself for forty days in the wilderness, Jesus showed us that there is a higher purpose in life than feeling good and getting what we want.

When you travel east from Jerusalem you find yourself in a barren wilderness. Rocks are everywhere water is scarce. It was here that Jesus was led by the Spirit to be tempted by Satan. Weakened by hunger and thirst, the Son of God faced His enemy, and taught us how to face that same enemy. In this message we will trace the story of forty tough days in the life of Christ.

When Jesus sought out John to be baptized in the river Jordan, He was creating a picture for all who would follow Him. That picture was one that predicted His coming atoning death and God's power in bringing Him back from the grave. Baptism is a public display of our belief in a life after death. Here are a few lessons we can take home from the baptism of Christ.

Without political power or military assets, Jesus altered the direction of history, pleasing God by living a perfect life. God's approval was clear when a voice thundered from heaven, "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." This took place on the occasion of Jesus' baptism in the river Jordan. In this message we take a look at that baptism, and what it means.
