The Vanishing Power Of Death
Death no longer has dominion over the one who follows Christ. When the tomb was found empty, death lost its power. In “The Vanishing Power of Death,” Pastor Lutzer considers the evidence for the resurrection of Christ and its impact on the disciples. From Mary weeping at the tomb, to Thomas' doubting, to Christ's counseling session with two discouraged disciples on the road to Emmaus, Pastor Lutzer shows readers that the experiences of the disciples are poignant and relevant for believers today. This is a book that is sure to invigorate your faith and make a lasting difference in the hands of a friend.

There are just two ways to approach an understanding of God: from the bottom up, or from the top down. Either you accept His written revelation, or you invent your own idols, because we all worship something. Today we will turn to the book of Isaiah for more on coming to grips with the true God, and, on coming to grips with the way He thinks.

Modern man sees himself as the highest intellect on this planet. He also believes that he has the right to invent his own gods. As you run today’s race of life, get ready for a paradigm shift. The infinite God does not think in finite human terms. We need to transform our thinking to the thoughts of God instead of trying to conform God’s thoughts to ours.

Some theologians believe that God is without passion, that He has no feelings and doesn’t personally suffer. But what does the Bible say? Pastor Lutzer will show us evidence that God can indeed suffer — and has suffered. Then we’ll look at the profound implications of His suffering.

All of us are in a race to go somewhere or do something. Before you do, spend some time in deep thought about God. Pause to ponder how God was affected by the sacrifice of His own Son. Was He passive, or did He weep? In today’s message we will discuss the emotions of God and why they should matter to us.

In Old Testament times, it was often easier to see God’s hand at work in judging sin; today, though, it can feel as though sin is going unpunished. Why? In order to answer this question, we must understand God’s character and His choice to bear “with great patience the objects of his wrath” (Romans 9:22). To believe that God has changed is to believe a dangerous lie — a lie you can’t afford to believe.

Many people believe man evolved, and many people believe God has evolved as well. He’s no longer “mean,” He is now a kinder, gentler God — He is more tolerant than He used to be. Get set, because in today’s message, another myth is going to be debunked.
March 5, 2012
A lot of people think that they can come to God any way they like, but God can only be approached in one way. Pause and consider this: what you think about God might be fundamentally wrong. Lay aside your preconceptions and listen to what God Himself says about how to find Him. Coming to God only happens through the right mediator.

If you believe a lie long enough, it becomes your truth. Many of us harbor falsehoods that can send us to hell. Please stop long enough to consider that you may be among those who believe wrongly about God. This is serious stuff — nothing is more important than what you believe about Him.

John Newton wrote about the “Amazing Grace that saved a wretch like me.” We like the song, but we are not so sure about that “wretch” part. The fact is, we cannot win in life’s race without agreeing with God about our basic condition. We need His grace, not to supplement our goodness, but to save us from our depravity. Today we will hear some straight talk about how badly we need the grace of God.

Many philosophers have seen a dual nature in mankind: good and evil coexisting, both fighting for ultimate control. The Bible paints a different picture, one of a basic depravity that can only be remedied by the grace of God through Christ. Throughout today’s message, we will see a big picture view of who we are, and how we can be made good in the eyes of God.
