Getting Faithfulness Right, Part 1 of 2
May 18, 2012
Every employee is evaluated by their boss. Every CEO is evaluated by their stockholders. How we handle today’s small tasks affects whether we are given a larger task to perform as well as the rewards that go with it. Jesus taught how faithfulness works and what the perils are for our lack of faithfulness.

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.

Individualism is a mark of the American spirit. We like to “go it alone.” This attitude doesn’t work in spiritual warfare. Jesus taught using parables or stories. He told of a strong man and a stronger man, whose help is crucial in defeating the merely “strong” man. Today we will look at more lessons on how we cannot “go it alone.” We can only defeat Satan in the name and power of Jesus.

In the modern era, few seriously believe the idea of evil spirits inhabiting people. They call it mental illness. But demons are very real. Jesus drove demons out of many people, freeing them from self-destruction. There is an unseen spiritual realm — a realm of conflict between the powers of darkness and the powers of light. Today we’ll learn lessons from the Master Teacher on how to fight this battle.

It’s tough to let go of our inborn desire for fairness. “Why can’t I have what the other guy has?” In God’s kingdom, it’s different. He chooses to give some of His children more than others — more abilities, more money, and better health. When we realize that it’s the Giver who makes the call, we’ve come a long way toward understanding how God rewards His people.

If life were fair, everybody would have the same salary. Everybody would have the same kind of house. But life is not fair. Through a parable, Jesus taught His disciples about the rewards which are handed out in the kingdom of God. At first glance, what He taught seems quite unfair. Let’s look beneath the surface of the words of Jesus and see the life-changing truth that upends our innate sense of fairness.

The story of the prodigal son is really the story of two prodigals. One left in rebellion, the other stayed in rebellion. The elder brother was angry that his father had mercy on his younger brother. Today we’ll take another look into Jesus’ parable which illustrates how the Father in heaven relates to His children, even when those children go astray.

When the Bible tells a story, it always rings true to human experience. This is very clear in the story of the prodigal son. How should a parent react when a child goes his or her own way, knowing that the end game for that child will be sorrow? In yet another remarkable parable, we can learn some major spiritual truth about the Father and His treatment of us. This truth gives us a picture of the king of parents we should be.

One parable of Jesus has a dire warning for those who refuse to forgive others from the heart. These are some of Jesus’ hardest words to process. Today we will take a careful look at what the Bible means when it says that God will not forgive us if we fail to forgive others. Take a moment to work through this crucial teaching with us.

When someone wrongs you, you may react with resentment. That resentment can lead to a wellspring of bitterness in your soul, and that bitterness can ruin your life. Jesus was clear about our need to forgive. In a parable from the book of Matthew, He outlined the key principles that should guide us as we wrestle with wrongs we have done, and with wrongs others have done to us.

Fathers invariably respond to the requests of their kids. In a parable, Jesus says it is the same with God the Father. God is eager to answer the cries of His children. “Ask, and it will be given to you. Seek, and you will find,” He said. Today we will study the subject of prayer, which, for many, is a subject of mystery.
May 7, 2012
For some, prayer is a mystery. Does God really listen? Does prayer make a difference in everyday life? Jesus left us a pattern for prayer — an outline of how we are to approach God. When the disciples asked Jesus how to pray, He prayed what we call “The Lord’s Prayer.”
